Previously the graph builders all expected to be given a full manifest
of all of the plugin component schemas that they could need during their
analysis work. That made sense when terraform.NewContext would always
proactively load all of the schemas before doing any other work, but we
now have a load-as-needed strategy for schemas.
We'll now have the graph builders use the contextPlugins object they each
already hold to retrieve individual schemas when needed. This avoids the
need to prepare a redundant data structure to pass alongside the
contextPlugins object, and leans on the memoization behavior inside
contextPlugins to preserve the old behavior of loading each provider's
schema only once.
In the v0.12 timeframe we made contextComponentFactory an interface with
the expectation that we'd write mocks of it for tests, but in practice we
ended up just always using the same "basicComponentFactory" implementation
throughout.
In the interests of simplification then, here we replace that interface
and its sole implementation with a new concrete struct type
contextPlugins.
Along with the general benefit that this removes an unneeded indirection,
this also means that we can add additional methods to the struct type
without the usual restriction that interface types prefer to be small.
In particular, in a future commit I'm planning to add methods for loading
provider and provisioner schemas, working with the currently-unused new
fields this commit has included in contextPlugins, as compared to its
predecessor basicComponentFactory.
In earlier incarnations of these transformers we used the set of all
available providers for tasks such as generating implied provider
configuration nodes.
However, in modern Terraform we can extract all of the information we need
from the configuration itself, and so these transformers weren't actually
using this set of provider addresses.
These also ended up getting left behind as sets of string rather than sets
of addrs.Provider in our earlier refactoring work, which didn't really
matter because the result wasn't used anywhere anyway.
Rather than updating these to use addrs.Provider instead, I've just
removed the unused arguments entirely in the hope of making it easier to
see what inputs these transformers use to make their decisions.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
