This allows us to remove the manual replace directives
github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go and google.golang.org/grpc, so that we can
remove the CVE warnings and update the grpc packages.
While the etcdv3 backend is also marked as deprecated, the changes here
are done in a manner to keep that backend working for the time being.
For now, only check the JSON views package, since this was the instance
that most recently tripped us up. There are a few dozen failures
elsewhere in Terraform which would need to be addressed before expanding
this to other packages.
We have a few different .proto files in this repository that all need to
get recompiled into .pb.go files each time we change them, but we were
previously handling that with some scripts that just assumed that protoc
and the relevant plugins were already installed on the system somewhere,
at the right versions.
In practice we've been constantly flopping between different versions of
these tools due to folks having different versions installed in their
development environments. In particular, the state of the .pb.go files
in the prior commit wasn't reproducible by any single version of the tools
because they've all slightly diverged from one another.
In the interests of being more consistent here and avoiding accidental
inconsistencies, we'll now centralize the protocol buffer compile steps
all into a single tool that knows how to fetch and install the expected
versions of the various tools we need and then run those tools with the
right options to get a stable result.
If we want to upgrade to either a newer protoc or a newer protoc-gen-go
in future then we'll do that in a central location and update all of the
.pb.go files at the same time, so that we're always consistently tracking
the same version of protocol buffers everywhere.
While doing this I attempted to keep as close as possible to the toolchain
we'd most recently used, but since they were not consistent with each
other they've now all changed which version numbers they record at minimum,
and the planproto stub in particular now also has a slightly different
descriptor serialization but is otherwise offering the same API.
This includes the addition of the new "//go:build" comment form in addition
to the legacy "// +build" notation, as produced by gofmt to ensure
consistent behavior between Go versions. The new directives are all
equivalent to what was present before, so there's no change in behavior.
Go 1.17 continues to use the Unicode 13 tables as in Go 1.16, so this
upgrade does not require also upgrading our Unicode-related dependencies.
This upgrade includes the following breaking changes which will also
appear as breaking changes for Terraform users, but that are consistent
with the Terraform v1.0 compatibility promises.
- On MacOS, Terraform now requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later.
This upgrade also includes the following breaking changes which will
appear as breaking changes for Terraform users that are inconsistent with
our compatibility promises, but have justified exceptions as follows:
- cidrsubnet, cidrhost, and cidrnetmask will now reject IPv4 CIDR
addresses whose decimal components have leading zeros, where previously
they would just silently ignore those leading zeros.
This is a security-motivated exception to our compatibility promises,
because some external systems interpret zero-prefixed octets as octal
numbers rather than decimal, and thus the previous lenient parsing could
lead to a different interpretation of the address between systems, and
thus potentially allow bypassing policy when configuring firewall rules
etc.
This upgrade also includes the following breaking changes which could
_potentially_ appear as breaking changes for Terraform users, but that do
not in practice for the reasons given:
- The Go net/url package no longer allows query strings with pairs
separated by semicolons instead of ampersands. This primarily affects
HTTP servers written in Go, and Terraform includes a special temporary
HTTP server as part of its implementation of OAuth for "terraform login",
but that server only needs to accept URLs created by Terraform itself
and Terraform does not generate any URLs that would be rejected.
