Terraform Core expects all variables to be set, but for some ancillary
commands it's fine for them to just be set to placeholders because the
variable values themselves are not key to the command's functionality
as long as the terraform.Context is still self-consistent.
For such commands, rather than prompting for interactive input for
required variables we'll just stub them out as unknowns to reflect that
they are placeholders for values that a user would normally need to
provide.
This achieves a similar effect to how these commands behaved before, but
without the tendency to produce a slightly invalid terraform.Context that
would fail in strange ways when asked to run certain operations.
Any command using meta.defaultFlagSet *might* occasionally exit before
the flag package's output got written. This caused flag error messages
to get lost. This PR discards the flag package output in favor of
directly returning the error to the end user.
Previously, these commands were not checking if the user specified a
`-plugin-dir` flag during `terraform init` and would therefor fail if
providers were not in one of the standard directories.
Fixes#20547
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.
So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.
Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.
Next to adding the locking for the `state push` command, this commit also fixes a small bug where the lock would not be propertly released when running the `state show` command.
And finally it renames some variables in the `[un]taint` code in order to try to standardize the var names of a few frequently used variables (e.g. statemgr.Full, states.State, states.SyncState).
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.
A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Add Env and SetEnv methods to command.Meta to retrieve the current
environment name inside any command.
Make sure all calls to Backend.State contain an environment name, and
make the package compile against the update backend package.
