We want the forthcoming v0.12.0 release to be the last significant
breaking change to our main configuration constructs for a long time, but
not everything could be implemented in that release.
As a compromise then, we reserve various names we have some intent of
using in a future release so that such future uses will not be a further
breaking change later.
Some of these names are associated with specific short-term plans, while
others are reserved conservatively for possible later work and may be
"un-reserved" in a later release if we don't end up using them. The ones
that we expect to use in the near future were already being handled, so
we'll continue to decode them at the config layer but also produce an
error so that we don't get weird behavior downstream where the
corresponding features don't work yet.
This was accidentally missed on the first pass of module call decoding.
As before, this is a map from child provider config address to parent
provider config address, allowing the set of providers to be projected in
arbitrary ways into a child module.
Some of the fields in our config structs are either mandatory in primary
files or there is a default value that we apply if absent.
Unfortunately override files impose the additional constraint that we
be allowed to omit required fields (which have presumably already been
set in the primary files) and that we are able to distinguish between a
default value and omitting a value entirely.
Since most of our fields were already acceptable for override files, here
we just add some new fields to deal with the few cases where special
handling is required and a helper function to disable the "Required" flag
on attributes in a given schema.
This is a first pass of decoding of the main Terraform configuration file
format. It hasn't yet been tested with any real-world configurations, so
it will need to be revised further as we test it more thoroughly.
These types represent the individual elements within configuration, the
modules a configuration is made of, and the configuration (static module
tree) itself.
