* website/contributing: update contribution documentation
This PR seeks to remove outdated and incorrect information. There is
still work to be done updating the information that's left; this is
merely the first step.
The cidrsubnets function signature is intentionally very low-level and
focused on the core requirement of generating addresses. This registry
module then wraps it with some additional functionality to make it more
convenient to generate and use subnet address ranges.
This is a companion to cidrsubnet that allows bulk-allocation of multiple
subnet addresses at once, with automatic numbering.
Unlike cidrsubnet, cidrsubnets allows each of the allocations to have a
different prefix length, and will pack the networks consecutively into the
given address space. cidrsubnets can potentially create more complicated
addressing schemes than cidrsubnet alone can, because it's able to take
into account the full set of requested prefix lengths rather than just
one at a time.
* command/import: properly use `-provider` supplied on the command line
The import command now attaches the provider configuration in the resource
instance, if set. That config is attached to the NodeAbstractResource
during the import graph building. This prevents errors when the implied
provider is not actually in the configuration at all, which may happen
when a configuration is using the `-beta` version of a provider (and
only that `-beta` version).
* command/import: fix variable reassignment and update docs
Fixes#22564
The documentation for the -target option warns that it's intended for
exceptional circumstances only and not for routine use, but that's not a
very prominent location for that warning and so some users miss it.
Here we make the warning more prominent by including it directly in the
Terraform output when -target is in use. We first warn during planning
that the plan might be incomplete, and then warn again after apply
concludes and direct the user to run "terraform plan" to make sure that
there are no further changes outstanding. The latter message is intended
to reinforce that -target should only be a one-off operation and that you
should always run without it soon after to ensure that the workspace is
left in a consistent, converged state.
main.ConfigDir is just a wrapper around cliconfig.ConfigDir to allow us to
gradually clean up the old calls here, but since this is new code we might
as well do it right from the start.
We're not ready to ship this in a release yet because there's still some
remaining work to do on the Terraform Cloud side, but we want to get the
implementation work behind this into the master branch so it's easier to
maintain it in the mean time, rather than letting this long-lived branch
live even longer.
We'll continue to iterate on UX polish and other details in subsequent
commits, and eventually enable this.
This was a vestige from earlier prototyping when we were considering
supporting adding credentials to existing .tfrc native syntax files.
However, that proved impractical because the CLI config format is still
HCL 1.0 and that can't reliably perform programmatic surgical updates,
so we'll remove this option for now. We might add it back in later if it
becomes more practical to support it.
