Due to a recent update to OS X, this is necessary
so that the correct working directory is saved,
so that methods like Path() on the e2e binary
will return the correct value
This new option is intended to address the previous inconsistencies where
some older subcommands supported partially changing the target directory
(where Terraform would use the new directory inconsistently) where newer
commands did not support that override at all.
Instead, now Terraform will accept a -chdir command at the start of the
command line (before the subcommand) and will interpret it as a request
to direct all actions that would normally be taken in the current working
directory into the target directory instead. This is similar to options
offered by some other similar tools, such as the -C option in "make".
The new option is only accepted at the start of the command line (before
the subcommand) as a way to reflect that it is a global command (not
specific to a particular subcommand) and that it takes effect _before_
executing the subcommand. This also means it'll be forced to appear before
any other command-specific arguments that take file paths, which hopefully
communicates that those other arguments are interpreted relative to the
overridden path.
As a measure of pragmatism for existing uses, the path.cwd object in
the Terraform language will continue to return the _original_ working
directory (ignoring -chdir), in case that is important in some exceptional
workflows. The path.root object gives the root module directory, which
will always match the overriden working directory unless the user
simultaneously uses one of the legacy directory override arguments, which
is not a pattern we intend to support in the long run.
As a first step down the deprecation path, this commit adjusts the
documentation to de-emphasize the inconsistent old command line arguments,
including specific guidance on what to use instead for the main three
workflow commands, but all of those options remain supported in the same
way as they were before. In a later commit we'll make those arguments
produce a visible deprecation warning in Terraform's output, and then
in an even later commit we'll remove them entirely so that -chdir is the
single supported way to run Terraform from a directory other than the
one containing the root module configuration.
* tools/terraform-bundle: refactor to use new provider installer and
provider directory layouts
terraform-bundle now supports a "source" attribute for providers,
uses the new provider installer, and the archive it creates preserves
the new (required) directory hierarchy for providers, under a "plugins"
directory.
This is a breaking change in many ways: source is required for any
non-HashiCorp provider, locally-installed providers must be given a
source (can be arbitrary, see docs) and placed in the expected directory
hierarchy, and the unzipped archive is no longer flat; there is a new
"plugins" directory created with providers in the new directory layout.
This PR also extends the existing test to check the contents of the zip
file.
TODO: Re-enable e2e tests (currently suppressed with a t.Skip)
This commit includes an update to our travis configuration, so the terraform-bundle e2e tests run. It also turns off the e2e tests, which will fail until we have a terraform 0.13.* release under releases.hashicorp.com. We decided it was better to merge this now instead of waiting when we started seeing issues opened from users who built terraform-bundle from 0.13 and found it didn't work with 0.12 - better that they get an immediate error message from the binary directing them to build from the appropriate release.
* internal/initwd: Allow deprecated relative module paths
In Terraform 0.11 we deprecated this form but didn't have any explicit
warning for it. Now we'll still accept it but generate a warning. In a
future major release we will drop this form altogether, since it is
ambiguous with registry module source addresses.
This codepath is covered by the command/e2etest suite.
* e2e: Skip copying .exists file, if present
We use this only in the "empty" test fixture in order to let git know that
the directory exists. We need to skip copying it so that we can test
"terraform init -from-module=...", which expects to find an empty
directory.
* command/e2etests: Re-enable and fix up the e2etest "acctests"
We disabled all of the tests that accessed remote services like the
Terraform Registry while they were being updated to support the new
protocols we now expect. With those services now in place, we can
re-enable these tests.
Some details of exactly what output we print, etc, have intentionally
changed since these tests were last updated.
* e2e: refactor for modern states and plans
* command/e2etest: re-enable e2etests and update for tf 0.12 compatibility
plugin/discovery: mkdirAll instead of mkdir when creating cache dir
In a couple places in tests we execute a child "go build" to make a helper
program. Now that we're running in module mode, "go build" will normally
default to downloading and caching dependencies, which we don't want
because we're still using vendoring for the moment.
Therefore we need to instruct these child builds to use vendoring too,
avoiding the need to download all of the dependencies and ensuring that
we'll be building with the same dependencies that we'd use for a normal
build.
