Running the tool this way ensures that we'll always run the version
selected by our go.mod file, rather than whatever happened to be available
in $GOPATH/bin on the system where we're running this.
This change caused some contexts to now be using a newer version of
staticcheck with additional checks, and so this commit also includes some
changes to quiet the new warnings without any change in overall behavior.
We can also rule out some attribute types as indicating something other
than the legacy SDK.
- Tuple types were not generated at all.
- There were no single objects types, the convention was to use a block
list or set of length 1.
- Maps of objects were not possible to generate, since named blocks were
not implemented.
- Nested collections were not supported, but when they were generated they
would have primitive types.
If structural types are being used, we can be assured that the legacy
SDK SchemaConfigModeAttr is not being used, and the fixup is not needed.
This prevents inadvertent mapping of blocks to structural attributes,
and allows us to skip the fixup overhead when possible.
Go 1.17 includes a breaking change to both net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR
functions to reject IPv4 address octets written with leading zeros.
Our use of these functions as part of the various CIDR functions in the
Terraform language doesn't have the same security concerns that the Go
team had in evaluating this change to the standard library, and so we
can't justify an exception to our v1.0 compatibility promises on the same
sort of security grounds that the Go team used to justify their
compatibility exception.
For that reason, we'll now use our own fork of the Go library functions
which has the new check disabled in order to preserve the prior behavior.
We're taking this path, rather than pre-normalizing the IP address before
calling into the standard library, because an additional normalization
layer would be entirely new code and additional complexity, whereas this
fork is relatively minor in terms of code size and avoids any significant
changes to our own calls to these functions.
Thanks to the Kubernetes team for their prior work on carving out a subset
of the "net" package for their similar backward-compatibility concern.
Our "ipaddr" package here is a lightly-modified fork of their fork, with
only the comments changed to talk about Terraform instead of Kubernetes.
This fork is not intended for use in any other future feature
implementations, because they wouldn't be subject to the same
compatibility constraints as our existing functions. We will use these
forked implementations for new callers only if consistency with the
behavior of the existing functions is a key requirement.
The previous name didn't fit with the naming scheme for addrs types:
The "Abs" prefix typically means that it's an addrs.ModuleInstance
combined with whatever type name appears after "Abs", but this is instead
a ModuleCallOutput combined with an InstanceKey, albeit structured the
other way around for convenience, and so the expected name for this would
be the suffix "Instance".
We don't have an "Abs" type corresponding with this one because it would
represent no additional information than AbsOutputValue.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
