This commit adds support for native list variables and outputs, building
up on the previous change to state. Interpolation functions now return
native lists in preference to StringList.
List variables are defined like this:
variable "test" {
# This can also be inferred
type = "list"
default = ["Hello", "World"]
}
output "test_out" {
value = "${var.a_list}"
}
This results in the following state:
```
...
"outputs": {
"test_out": [
"hello",
"world"
]
},
...
```
And the result of terraform output is as follows:
```
$ terraform output
test_out = [
hello
world
]
```
Using the output name, an xargs-friendly representation is output:
```
$ terraform output test_out
hello
world
```
The output command also supports indexing into the list (with
appropriate range checking and no wrapping):
```
$ terraform output test_out 1
world
```
Along with maps, list outputs from one module may be passed as variables
into another, removing the need for the `join(",", var.list_as_string)`
and `split(",", var.list_as_string)` which was previously necessary in
Terraform configuration.
This commit also updates the tests and implementations of built-in
interpolation functions to take and return native lists where
appropriate.
A backwards compatibility note: previously the concat interpolation
function was capable of concatenating either strings or lists. The
strings use case was deprectated a long time ago but still remained.
Because we cannot return `ast.TypeAny` from an interpolation function,
this use case is no longer supported for strings - `concat` is only
capable of concatenating lists. This should not be a huge issue - the
type checker picks up incorrect parameters, and the native HIL string
concatenation - or the `join` function - can be used to replicate the
missing behaviour.
Fixes an interpolation race that was occurring when a tainted destroy
node and a primary destroy node both tried to interpolate a computed
count in their config. Since they were sharing a pointer to the _same_
config, depending on how the race played out one of them could catch the
config uninterpolated and would then throw a syntax error.
The `Copy()` tree implemented for this fix can probably be used
elsewhere - basically we should copy the config whenever we drop nodes
into the graph - but for now I'm just applying it to the place that
fixes this bug.
Fixes#4982 - Includes a test covering that race condition.
This commit adds support for declaring variable types in Terraform
configuration. Historically, the type has been inferred from the default
value, defaulting to string if no default was supplied. This has caused
users to devise workarounds if they wanted to declare a map but provide
values from a .tfvars file (for example).
The new syntax adds the "type" key to variable blocks:
```
variable "i_am_a_string" {
type = "string"
}
variable "i_am_a_map" {
type = "map"
}
```
This commit does _not_ extend the type system to include bools, integers
or floats - the only two types available are maps and strings.
Validation is performed if a default value is provided in order to
ensure that the default value type matches the declared type.
In the case that a type is not declared, the old logic is used for
determining the type. This allows backwards compatiblity with previous
Terraform configuration.
This may be brittle as it makes use of .gitattributes to override the
autocrlf setting in order to have an input file with Windows line
endings across multiple platforms.
This was never intended to be valid syntax, but it worked in the old HCL
parser, and we've found a decent number of examples of it in the wild.
Fixed in https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/pull/62 and we'll keep this
test in Terraform to cover the behavior.
This test reproduces the issue which is likely the root cause of #3840.
Test is currently failing with an "illegal character" message
corresponding with the location of the heredoc, which is also seen in
various acceptance tests for providers.
This fixes a bug where Terraform would error with the following:
```
Error loading config: Error reading
/Users/rhenrichs/work/example/.#example.tf: open
/Users/rhenrichs/work/example/.#example.tf: no such file or directory
```
The solution implemented here ignores the common emacs and vim
temporary file formats.
Note: the potential danger with merging this is that Terraform could
quickly have requests to ignore other file formats.
