Due to the fact that resources can transition between each modes, trying
to track the mode for a resource as a whole in state doesn't work,
because there may be instances with a mode different from the resource
as a whole. This is difficult for core to track, as this metadata being
changed as a side effect from multiple places often causes core to see
the incorrect mode when evaluating instances.
Since core can always determine the correct mode to evaluate from the
configuration, we don't need to interrogate the state to know the mode.
Once core no longer needs to reference EachMode from states, the
resource state can simply be a container for instances, and doesn't need
to try and track the "current" mode.
In order to efficiently build the module objects for evaluation, we need
to collect the outputs from a set of module instances. The ModuleOutputs
method will return a copy of the state outputs, while not requiring the
unnecessary copying of each entire module.
We need all module instance outputs to build the objects for evaluation,
but there is no need to copy all the resource instances along with that.
This allows us to only return the output states, with enough information
to connect them with their module instances.
The ModuleInstance is known while building the state resource, but it's
not recorded. Since a resource may be retrieved via a ConfigResource
address, we need to know from which module instance it was loaded.
a large refactor to addrs.AbsProviderConfig, embedding the addrs.Provider instead of a Type string. I've added and updated tests, added some Legacy functions to support older state formats and shims, and added a normalization step when reading v4 (current) state files (not the added tests under states/statefile/roundtrip which work with both current and legacy-style AbsProviderConfig strings).
The remaining 'fixme' and 'todo' comments are mostly going to be addressed in a subsequent PR and involve looking up a given local provider config's FQN. This is fine for now as we are only working with default assumption.
* Introduce "Local" terminology for non-absolute provider config addresses
In a future change AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig are going to
become two entirely distinct types, rather than Abs embedding Local as
written here. This naming change is in preparation for that subsequent
work, which will also include introducing a new "ProviderConfig" type
that is an interface that AbsProviderConfig and LocalProviderConfig both
implement.
This is intended to be largely just a naming change to get started, so
we can deal with all of the messy renaming. However, this did also require
a slight change in modeling where the Resource.DefaultProviderConfig
method has become Resource.DefaultProvider returning a Provider address
directly, because this method doesn't have enough information to construct
a true and accurate LocalProviderConfig -- it would need to refer to the
configuration to know what this module is calling the provider it has
selected.
In order to leave a trail to follow for subsequent work, all of the
changes here are intended to ensure that remaining work will become
obvious via compile-time errors when all of the following changes happen:
- The concept of "legacy" provider addresses is removed from the addrs
package, including removing addrs.NewLegacyProvider and
addrs.Provider.LegacyString.
- addrs.AbsProviderConfig stops having addrs.LocalProviderConfig embedded
in it and has an addrs.Provider and a string alias directly instead.
- The provider-schema-handling parts of Terraform core are updated to
work with addrs.Provider to identify providers, rather than legacy
strings.
In particular, there are still several codepaths here making legacy
provider address assumptions (in order to limit the scope of this change)
but I've made sure each one is doing something that relies on at least
one of the above changes not having been made yet.
* addrs: ProviderConfig interface
In a (very) few special situations in the main "terraform" package we need
to make runtime decisions about whether a provider config is absolute
or local.
We currently do that by exploiting the fact that AbsProviderConfig has
LocalProviderConfig nested inside of it and so in the local case we can
just ignore the wrapping AbsProviderConfig and use the embedded value.
In a future change we'll be moving away from that embedding and making
these two types distinct in order to represent that mapping between them
requires consulting a lookup table in the configuration, and so here we
introduce a new interface type ProviderConfig that can represent either
AbsProviderConfig or LocalProviderConfig decided dynamically at runtime.
This also includes the Config.ResolveAbsProviderAddr method that will
eventually be responsible for that local-to-absolute translation, so
that callers with access to the configuration can normalize to an
addrs.AbsProviderConfig given a non-nil addrs.ProviderConfig. That's
currently unused because existing callers are still relying on the
simplistic structural transform, but we'll switch them over in a later
commit.
* rename LocalType to LocalName

* huge change to weave new addrs.Provider into addrs.ProviderConfig
* terraform: do not include an empty string in the returned Providers /
Provisioners
- Fixed a minor bug where results included an extra empty string
We need to be able to reference all possible dependencies for ordering
when the configuration is no longer present, which means that absolute
addresses must be used. Since this is only to recreate the proper
ordering for instance destruction, only resources addresses need to be
listed rather than individual instance addresses.
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.
Our previous state models in the "terraform" package had a few limitations
that are addressed here:
- Instance attributes were stored as map[string]string with dot-separated
keys representing traversals through a data structure. Now that we have
a full type system, it's preferable to store it as a real data
structure.
- The existing state structures skipped over the "resource" concept and
went straight to resource instance, requiring heuristics to decide
whether a particular resource should appear as a single object or as
a list of objects when used in configuration expressions.
- Related to the previous point, the state models also used incorrect
terminology where "ResourceState" was really a resource instance state
and "InstanceState" was really the state of a particular remote object
associated with an instance. These new models use the correct names for
each of these, introducing the idea of a "ResourceInstanceObject" as
the local record of a remote object associated with an instance.
This is a first pass at fleshing out a new model for state. Undoubtedly
there will be further iterations of this as we work on integrating these
new models into the "terraform" package.
These new model types no longer serve double-duty as a description of the
JSON state file format, since they are for in-memory use only. A
subsequent commit will introduce a separate package that deals with
persisting state to files and reloading those files later.
