* backend/remote: Filter environment variables when loading context
Following up on #23122, the remote system (Terraform Cloud or
Enterprise) serves environment and Terraform variables using a single
type of object. We only should load Terraform variables into the
Terraform context.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/23283.
For remote operations, the remote system (Terraform Cloud or Enterprise)
writes the stored variable values into a .tfvars file before running the
remote copy of Terraform CLI.
By contrast, for operations that only run locally (like
"terraform import"), we fetch the stored variable values from the remote
API and add them into the set of available variables directly as part
of creating the local execution context.
Previously in the local-only case we were assuming that all stored
variables are strings, which isn't true: the Terraform Cloud/Enterprise UI
allows users to specify that a particular variable is given as an HCL
expression, in which case the correct behavior is to parse and evaluate
the expression to obtain the final value.
This also addresses a related issue whereby previously we were forcing
all sensitive values to be represented as a special string "<sensitive>".
That leads to type checking errors for any variable specified as having
a type other than string, so instead here we use an unknown value as a
placeholder so that type checking can pass.
Unpopulated sensitive values may cause errors downstream though, so we'll
also produce a warning for each of them to let the user know that those
variables are not available for local-only operations. It's a warning
rather than an error so that operations that don't rely on known values
for those variables can potentially complete successfully.
This can potentially produce errors in situations that would've been
silently ignored before: if a remote variable is marked as being HCL
syntax but is not valid HCL then it will now fail parsing at this early
stage, whereas previously it would've just passed through as a string
and failed only if the operation tried to interpret it as a non-string.
However, in situations like these the remote operations like
"terraform plan" would already have been failing with an equivalent
error message anyway, so it's unlikely that any existing workspace that
is being used for routine operations would have such a broken
configuration.
Some commands don't use variables at all or use them in a way that doesn't
require them to all be fully valid and consistent. For those, we don't
want to fetch variable values from the remote system and try to validate
them because that's wasteful and likely to cause unnecessary error
messages.
Furthermore, the variables endpoint in Terraform Cloud and Enterprise only
works for personal access tokens, so it's important that we don't assume
we can _always_ use it. If we do, then we'll see problems when commands
are run inside Terraform Cloud and Enterprise remote execution contexts,
where the variables map always comes back as empty.
The remote backend uses backend.ParseVariableValues locally only to decide
if the user seems to be trying to use -var or -var-file options locally,
since those are not supported for the remote backend.
Other than detecting those, we don't actually have any need to use the
results of backend.ParseVariableValues, and so it's better for us to
ignore any errors it produces itself and prefer to just send a
potentially-invalid request to the remote system and let the remote system
be responsible for validating it.
This then avoids issues caused by the fact that when remote operations are
in use the local system does not have all of the required context: it
can't see which environment variables will be set in the remote execution
context nor which variables the remote system will set using its own
generated -var-file based on the workspace stored variables.
Properly wait for cost estimation to finish running before outputting
the results. Waits 500 milliseconds between checks, rather than backing
off exponentially, because we are not in a run queue. At the point we're
waiting, we expect cost estimation to be run in a timely manner.
Previously, terraform was returning a potentially-misleading error
message in response to anything other than a 404 from the
b.client.Workspaces.Read operation. This PR simplifies Terraform's error
message with the intent of encouraging those who encounter it to focus
on the error message returned from the tfe client.
The added test is odd, and a bit hacky, and possibly overkill.
When a TFC workspace is configured without a VCS root, and with a
working directory, and a user is running `terraform init` from that same
directory, TFC uploads the entire configuration directory, not only the
user's cwd. This is not obvious to the user, so we are adding a descriptive
message explaining what is being uploaded, and why.
* backend/enhanced: start with absolute config path
We recently started normalizing the config path before all "command"
operations, which was necessary for consistency but had unexpected
consequences for remote backend operations, specifically when a vcs root
with a working directory are configured.
This PR de-normalizes the path back to an absolute path.
* Check the error and add a test
It turned out all required logic was already present, so I just needed to add a test for this specific use case.
When changes are made and we failed to upload the state, we should not
try to unlock the workspace. Leaving the workspace locked is a good
indication something went wrong and also prevents other changes from
being applied before the newest state is properly uploaded.
Additionally we now output the lock ID when a lock or force-unlock
action failed.
This mirrors the change made for providers, so that default values can
be inserted into the config by the backend implementation. This is only
the interface and method name changes, it does not yet add any default
values.
Previously we checked can-update in order to determine if a user had the
required permissions to apply a run, but that wasn't sufficient. So we
added a new permission, can-queue-apply, that we now use instead.
The API surface area is much smaller when we use the remote backend for remote state only.
So in order to try and prevent any backwards incompatibilities when TF runs inside of TFE, we’ve split up the discovery services into `state.v2` (which can be used for remote state only configurations, so when running in TFE) and `tfe.v2.1` (which can be used for all remote configurations).
This PR improves the error handling so we can provide better feedback about any service discovery errors that occured.
Additionally it adds logic to test for specific versions when discovering a service using `service.vN`. This will enable more informational errors which can indicate any version incompatibilities.
Use the entitlements to a) determine if the organization exists, and b) as a means to select which backend to use (the local backend with remote state, or the remote backend).
Add support for the new `force-unlock` API and at the same time improve
performance a bit by reducing the amount of API calls made when using
the remote backend for state storage only.
In order to support free organizations, we need a way to load the `remote` backend and then, depending on the used offering/plan, enable or disable remote operations.
In other words, we should be able to dynamically fall back to the `local` backend if needed, after first configuring the `remote` backend.
To make this works we need to change the way this was done previously when the env var `TF_FORCE_LOCAL_BACKEND` was set. The clear difference of course being that the env var would be available on startup, while the used offering/plan is only known after being able to connect to TFE.
This work was done against APIs that were already changed in the branch
before work began, and so it doesn't apply to the v0.12 development work.
To allow v0.12 to merge down to master, we'll revert this work out for now
and then re-introduce equivalent functionality in later commits that works
against the new APIs.
In some cases this is needed to keep the UX clean and to make sure any remote exit codes are passed through to the local process.
The most obvious example for this is when using the "remote" backend. This backend runs Terraform remotely and stream the output back to the local terminal.
When an error occurs during the remote execution, all the needed error information will already be in the streamed output. So if we then return an error ourselves, users will get the same errors twice.
By allowing the backend to specify the correct exit code, the UX remains the same while preserving the correct exit codes.
This is a bit of a hack to support the `-no-color` flag while we don’t have an option to set run variables.
That is also the reason why the orginal method is commented out instead of deleted. This will be reverted when the TFE starts supporting run variables.
If the policy passes, only show that instead of the full check output to prevent cluttering the output. So a passing policy will only show:
-----------------------------------------------
Organization policy check: passed
-----------------------------------------------
This commit adds:
- support for `-lock-timeout`
- custom error message when a 404 is received
- canceling a pending run when TF is Ctrl-C’ed
- discard a run when the apply is not approved
The pagination info of a list call that returns an empty list contains:
```go
CurrentPage: 1
TotalPages: 0
```
So checking if we have seen all pages using `CurrentPage == TotalPages` will not work and will result in an endless loop.
The tests are updated so they will fail (timeout after 1m) if this is handled incorreclty.
To prevent making unnecessary heavy calls to the backend, we should use a search query to limit the result.
But even if we use a search query, we should still use the pagination details to make sure we retrieved all items.
In TFE you can configure a workspace to use a custom working directory. When determining which directory that needs to be uploaded to TFE, this working directory should be taken into account to make sure we are uploading the correct root directory for the workspace.
