This turned out to be a big messy commit, since the way providers are
referenced is tightly coupled throughout the code. That starts to unify
how providers are referenced, using the format output node Name method.
Add a new field to the internal resource data types called
ResolvedProvider. This is set by a new setter method SetProvider when a
resource is connected to a provider during graph creation. This allows
us to later lookup the provider instance a resource is connected to,
without requiring it to have the same module path.
The InitProvider context method now takes 2 arguments, one if the
provider type and the second is the full name of the provider. While the
provider type could still be parsed from the full name, this makes it
more explicit and, and changes to the name format won't effect this
code.
Use the configured providers directly, rather than looking for inherited
provider configuration during graph evaluation.
First remove the provider config cache, and the associated
SetProviderConfig and ParentProviderConfig methods on the eval context.
Every provider must be configured, so there's no need to look for
configuration from other provider instances.
The config.ProviderConfig struct now has a Scope field which stores the
proper path for the interpolation scope. To get this metadata to the
interpolator, we add an EvalInterpolatProvider node which can carry the
ProviderConfig, and an InterpolateProvider context method to carry the
ProviderConfig.Scope into the InterplationScope.
Some of the tests could be adjusted to account for the new inheritance
behavior, and some were simply no longer valid and will be removed.
The remaining tests have questions on how they should work in practice.
This mostly concerns orphaned modules where there is no longer a way to
obtain a provider. In some cases we may require that a minimal provider
config be present to handle the destroy process, but we need further
testing.
All disabled code was commented out in this commit to record any
additional comments. The following commit will be a cleanup pass.
This switches to the Go "context" package for cancellation and threads
the context through all the way to evaluation to allow behavior based on
stopping deep within graph execution.
This also adds the Stop API to provisioners so they can quickly exit
when stop is called.
This changes the representation of maps in the interpolator from the
dotted flatmap form of a string variable named "var.variablename.key"
per map element to use native HIL maps instead.
This involves porting some of the interpolation functions in order to
keep the tests green, and adding support for map outputs.
There is one backwards incompatibility: as a result of an implementation
detail of maps, one could access an indexed map variable using the
syntax "${var.variablename.key}".
This is no longer possible - instead HIL native syntax -
"${var.variablename["key"]}" must be used. This was previously
documented, (though not heavily used) so it must be noted as a backward
compatibility issue for Terraform 0.7.
Currently Terraform is leaking goroutines and with that memory. I know
strictly speaking this maybe isn’t a real concern for Terraform as it’s
mostly used as a short running command line executable.
But there are a few of us out there that are using Terraform in some
long running processes and then this starts to become a problem.
Next to that it’s of course good programming practise to clean up
resources when they're not needed anymore. So even for the standard
command line use case, this seems an improvement in resource management.
Personally I see no downsides as the primary connection to the plugin
is kept alive (the plugin is not killed) and only unused connections
that will never be used again are closed to free up any related
goroutines and memory.
