Add the resource instances and individual attributes which may have
contributed to the planned changes to the json format of the plan. We
use the existing path encoding for individual attributes, which is
already used in the replace_paths change field.
Track individual instance drift rather than whole resources which
contributed to the plan. This will allow the output to be more precise,
and we can still use NoKey instances as a proxy for containing resources
when needed.
Filter the refresh changes from the normal plan UI at the attribute
level. We do this by constructing fake plans.Change records for diff
generation, reverting all attribute changes that do not match any of the
plan's ContributingResourceReferences.
Convert a global reference to a specific AbsResource and attribute pair.
The hcl.Traversal is converted to a cty.Path at this point because plan
rendering is based on cty values.
The sum() function accepts a collection of values which must all convert
to numbers. It is valid for this to be a collection of string values
representing numbers.
Previously the function would panic if the first element of a collection
was a non-number type, as we didn't attempt to convert it to a number
before calling the cty `Add` method.
* fix: local variables should not be overridden by remote variables during `terraform import`
* chore: applied the same fix in the 'internal/cloud' package

Variable validation error message expressions which generated sensitive
values would previously crash. This commit updates the logic to align
with preconditions and postconditions, eliding sensitive error message
values and adding a separate diagnostic explaining why.
Precondition and postcondition blocks which evaluated expressions
resulting in sensitive values would previously crash. This commit fixes
the crashes, and adds an additional diagnostic if the error message
expression produces a sensitive value (which we also elide).
Evaluate precondition and postcondition blocks in refresh-only mode, but
report any failures as warnings instead of errors. This ensures that any
deviation from the contract defined by condition blocks is reported as
early as possible, without preventing the completion of a state refresh
operation.
Prior to this commit, Terraform evaluated output preconditions and data
source pre/postconditions as normal in refresh-only mode, while managed
resource pre/postconditions were not evaluated at all. This omission
could lead to confusing partial condition errors, or failure to detect
undesired changes which would otherwise cause resources to become
invalid.
Reporting the failures as errors also meant that changes retrieved
during refresh could cause the refresh operation to fail. This is also
undesirable, as the primary purpose of the operation is to update local
state. Precondition/postcondition checks are still valuable here, but
should be informative rather than blocking.
The graphs used for the CBD tests wouldn't validate because they skipped
adding the root module node. Re add the root module transformer and
transitive reduction transformer to the build steps, and match the new
reduced output in the test fixtures.
Complete the removal of the Validate option for graph building. There is
no case where we want to allow an invalid graph, as the primary reason
for validation is to ensure we have no cycles, and we can't walk a graph
with cycles. The only code which specifically relied on there being no
validation was a test to ensure the Validate flag prevented it.
The previous precondition/postcondition block validation implementation
failed if the enclosing resource was expanded. This commit fixes this by
generating appropriate placeholder instance data for the resource,
depending on whether `count` or `for_each` is used.
This set of diagnostic messages is under a number of unusual constraints
that make them tough to get right:
- They are discussing a couple finicky concepts which authors are
likely to be encountering for the first time in these error messages:
the idea of "local names" for providers, the relationship between those
and provider source addresses, and additional ("aliased") provider
configurations.
- They are reporting concerns that span across a module call boundary,
and so need to take care to be clear about whether they are talking
about a problem in the caller or a problem in the callee.
- Some of them are effectively deprecation warnings for features that
might be in use by a third-party module that the user doesn't control,
in which case they have no recourse to address them aside from opening
a feature request with the upstream module maintainer.
- Terraform has, for backward-compatibility reasons, a lot of implied
default behaviors regarding providers and provider configurations,
and these errors can arise in situations where Terraform's assumptions
don't match the author's intent, and so we need to be careful to
explain what Terraform assumed in order to make the messages
understandable.
After seeing some confusion with these messages in the community, and
being somewhat confused by some of them myself, I decided to try to edit
them a bit for consistency of terminology (both between the messages and
with terminology in our docs), being explicit about caller vs. callee
by naming them in the messages, and making explicit what would otherwise
be implicit with regard to the correspondences between provider source
addresses and local names.
My assumed audience for all of these messages is the author of the caller
module, because it's the caller who is responsible for creating the
relationship between caller and callee. As much as possible I tried to
make the messages include specific actions for that author to take to
quiet the warning or fix the error, but some of the warnings are only
fixable by the callee's maintainer and so those messages are, in effect,
a suggestion to send a request to the author to stop using a deprecated
feature.
I think these new messages are also not ideal by any means, because it's
just tough to pack so much information into concise messages while being
clear and consistent, but I hope at least this will give users seeing
these messages enough context to infer what's going on, possibly with the
help of our documentation.
I intentionally didn't change which cases Terraform will return warnings
or errors -- only the message texts -- although I did highlight in a
comment in one of the tests that what it is a asserting seems a bit
suspicious to me. I don't intend to address that here; instead, I intend
that note to be something to refer to if we later see a bug report that
calls that behavior into question.
This does actually silence some _unrelated_ warnings and errors in cases
where a provider block has an invalid provider local name as its label,
because our other functions for dealing with provider addresses are
written to panic if given invalid addresses under the assumption that
earlier code will have guarded against that. Doing this allowed for the
provider configuration validation logic to safely include more information
about the configuration as helpful context, without risking tripping over
known-invalid configuration and panicking in the process.
PreDiff and PostDiff hooks were designed to be called immediately before
and after the PlanResourceChange calls to the provider. Probably due to
the confusing legacy naming of the hooks, these were scattered about the
nodes involved with planning, causing the hooks to be called in a number
of places where they were designed, including data sources and destroy
plans. Since these hooks are not used at all any longer anyway, we can
removed the extra calls with no effect.
If we choose in the future to call PlanResourceChange for resource
destroy plans, the hooks can be re-inserted (even though they currently
are unused) into the new code path which must diverge from the current
combined path of managed and data sources.
The UI hooks for data source reads were missed during planning. Move the
hook calls to immediatley before and after the ReadDataSource calls to
ensure they are called during both plan and apply.
Our existing functionality for dealing with references generally only has
to concern itself with one level of references at a time, and only within
one module, because we use it to draw a dependency graph which then ends
up reflecting the broader context.
However, there are some situations where it's handy to be able to ask
questions about the indirect contributions to a particular expression in
the configuration, particularly for additional hints in the user interface
where we're just providing some extra context rather than changing
behavior.
This new "globalref" package therefore aims to be the home for algorithms
for use-cases like this. It introduces its own special "Reference" type
that wraps addrs.Reference to annotate it also with the usually-implied
context about where the references would be evaluated.
With that building block we can therefore ask questions whose answers
might involve discussing references in multiple packages at once, such as
"which resources directly or indirectly contribute to this expression?",
including indirect hops through input variables or output values which
would therefore change the evaluation context.
The current implementations of this are around mapping references onto the
static configuration expressions that they refer to, which is a pretty
broad and conservative approach that unfortunately therefore loses
accuracy when confronted with complex expressions that might take dynamic
actions on the contents of an object. My hunch is that this'll be good
enough to get some initial small use-cases solved, though there's plenty
room for improvement in accuracy.
It's somewhat ironic that this sort of "what is this value built from?"
question is the use-case I had in mind when I designed the "marks" feature
in cty, yet we've ended up putting it to an unexpected but still valid
use in Terraform for sensitivity analysis and our currently handling of
that isn't really tight enough to permit other concurrent uses of marks
for other use-cases. I expect we can address that later and so maybe we'll
try for a more accurate version of these analyses at a later date, but my
hunch is that this'll be good enough for us to still get some good use out
of it in the near future, particular related to helping understand where
unknown values came from and in tailoring our refresh results in plan
output to deemphasize detected changes that couldn't possibly have
contributed to the proposed plan.
Previously the "providers" package contained only a type for representing
the schema of a particular object within a provider, and the terraform
package had the responsibility of aggregating many of those together to
describe the entire surface area of a provider.
Here we move what was previously terraform.ProviderSchema to instead be
providers.Schemas, retaining its existing API otherwise, and leave behind
a type alias to allow us to gradually update other references over time.
We've gradually been shrinking down the responsibilities of the
"terraform" package to just representing the graph components and
behaviors anyway, but the specific motivation for doing this _now_ is to
allow for other packages to both be called by the terraform package _and_
work with provider schemas at the same time, without creating a package
dependency cycle: instead, these other packages can just import the
"providers" package and not need to import the "terraform" package at all.
For now this does still leave the responsibility for _building_ a
providers.Schemas object over in the "terraform" package, because it's
currently doing that as part of some larger work that isn't easily
separable, and so reorganizing that would be a more involved and riskier
change than just moving the existing type elsewhere.
We've ended up implementing something approximately like this in a few
places now, so this is a centralized version that we can consolidate on
moving forward, gradually removing that duplication.
Custom variable validations specified using JSON syntax would always
parse error messages as string literals, even if they included template
expressions. We need to be as backwards compatible with this behaviour
as possible, which results in this complex fallback logic. More detail
about this in the extensive code comments.
During the validation walk, we attempt to proactively evaluate check
rule condition and error message expressions. This will help catch some
errors as early as possible.
At present, resource values in the validation walk are of dynamic type.
This means that any references to resources will cause validation to be
delayed, rather than presenting useful errors. Validation may still
catch other errors, and any future changes which cause better type
propagation will result in better validation too.
Error messages for preconditions, postconditions, and custom variable
validations have until now been string literals. This commit changes
this to treat the field as an HCL expression, which must evaluate to a
string. Most commonly this will either be a string literal or a template
expression.
When the check rule condition is evaluated, we also evaluate the error
message. This means that the error message should always evaluate to a
string value, even if the condition passes. If it does not, this will
result in an error diagnostic.
If the condition fails, and the error message also fails to evaluate, we
fall back to a default error message. This means that the check rule
failure will still be reported, alongside diagnostics explaining why the
custom error message failed to render.
As part of this change, we also necessarily remove the heuristic about
the error message format. This guidance can be readded in future as part
of a configuration hint system.
This commit stems from the change to make post plan the default run task stage, at the
time of this commit's writing! Since pre apply is under internal revision, we have removed
the block that polls the pre apply stage until the team decides to re-add support for pre apply
run tasks.
