Laura Martin 76dedfbf9d Update docs for 0.12 terraform_remote_state data source
In 0.12, the outputs for a data source of terraform_remote_state are
nested under the 'outputs' attribute [1]. This updates the docs
to make this change clearer.

Worked with @radeksimko at Terraform hackday, who has submitted a
related upgrade guide [2]

Nick Fagerlund a9bcc0fe06 website: Fix sidebar nav links and 'sidebar_current' IDs for 0.11 docs
Because of the different possibilities for arranging the nav sidebars, we want
to make sure:

- IDs for the 0.11 and 0.12 language docs have a common prefix.
- That prefix is not the exact string `docs-config`.

Have I mentioned before that I really dislike this prefix matching behavior.

Martin Atkins 954d38e870 lang: New file-hashing functions
In prior versions, we recommended using hash functions in conjunction with
the file function as an idiom for detecting changes to upstream blobs
without fetching and comparing the whole blob.

That approach relied on us being able to return raw binary data from
file(...). Since Terraform strings pass through intermediate
representations that are not binary-safe (e.g. the JSON state), there was
a risk of string corruption in prior versions which we have avoided for
0.12 by requiring that file(...) be used only with UTF-8 text files.

The specific case of returning a string and immediately passing it into
another function was not actually subject to that corruption risk, since
the HIL interpreter would just pass the string through verbatim, but this
is still now forbidden as a result of the stricter handling of file(...).

To avoid breaking these use-cases, here we introduce variants of the hash
functions a with "file" prefix that take a filename for a disk file to
hash rather than hashing the given string directly. The configuration
upgrade tool also now includes a rule to detect the documented idiom and
rewrite it into a single function call for one of these new functions.

This does cause a bit of function sprawl, but that seems preferable to
introducing more complex rules for when file(...) can and cannot read
binary files, making the behavior of these various functions easier to
understand in isolation.

Martin Atkins 2f8f7d6f4d lang/funcs: Type conversion functions
It's not normally necessary to make explicit type conversions in Terraform
because the language implicitly converts as necessary, but explicit
conversions are useful in a few specialized cases:

- When defining output values for a reusable module, it may be desirable
  to force a "cleaner" output type than would naturally arise from a
  computation, such as forcing a string containing digits into a number.
- Our 0.12upgrade mechanism will use some of these to replace use of the
  undocumented, hidden type conversion functions in HIL, and force
  particular type interpretations in some tricky cases.
- We've found that type conversion functions can be useful as _temporary_
  workarounds for bugs in Terraform and in providers where implicit type
  conversion isn't working correctly or a type constraint isn't specified
  precisely enough for the automatic conversion behavior.

These all follow the same convention of being named "to" followed by a
short type name. Since we've had a long-standing convention of running all
the words together in lowercase in function names, we stick to that here
even though some of these names are quite strange, because these should
be rarely-used functions anyway.

Martin Atkins da51e72cbb lang/functions: set functions from cty
The sethaselement, setintersection, and setunion functions are defined in
the cty stdlib. Making them available in Terraform will make it easier to
work with sets, and complement the currently-Terraform-specific setproduct
function.

In the long run setproduct should probably move into the cty stdlib too,
but since it was submitted as a Terraform function originally we'll leave
it here now for simplicity's sake and reorganize later.
2019-01-16 09:57:16 -08:00
Martin Atkins edb5f82de1 lang/funcs: Convert the "setproduct" function to the new approach
In our new world it produces either a set of a tuple type or a list of a
tuple type, depending on the given argument types.

The resulting collection's element tuple type is decided by the element
types of the given collections, allowing type information to propagate
even if unknown values are present.

remained, and now it runs the risk of confusing contributors, since the copy in

backend/s3: Configure AWS Client MaxRetries and provide enhanced S3 NoSuchBucket error message
The AWS Go SDK automatically provides a default request retryer with exponential backoff that is invoked via setting `MaxRetries` or leaving it `nil` will default to 3. The terraform-aws-provider `config.Client()` sets `MaxRetries` to 0 unless explicitly configured above 0. Previously, we were not overriding this behavior by setting the configuration and therefore not invoking the default request retryer.

The default retryer already handles HTTP error codes above 500, including S3's InternalError response, so the extraneous handling can be removed. This will also start automatically retrying many additional cases, such as temporary networking issues or other retryable AWS service responses.

Changes:
* s3/backend: Add `max_retries` argument
* s3/backend: Enhance S3 NoSuchBucket error to include additional information

Martin Atkins c753df6a93 lang/funcs: templatefile function
This function is similar to the template_file data source offered by the
template provider, but having it built in to the language makes it more
convenient to use, allowing templates to be rendered from files anywhere
an inline template would normally be allowed:

    user_data = templatefile("${path.module}/userdata.tmpl", {
      hostname = format("petserver%02d", count.index)
    })

Unlike the template_file data source, this function allows values of any
type in its variables map, passing them through verbatim to the template.
Its tighter integration with Terraform also allows it to return better
error messages with source location information from the template itself.

The template_file data source was originally created to work around the
fact that HIL didn't have any support for map values at the time, and
even once map support was added it wasn't very usable. With HCL2
expressions, there's little reason left to use a data source to render
a template; the only remaining reason left to use template_file is to
render a template that is constructed dynamically during the Terraform
run, which is a very rare need.

This commit is a wide-ranging set of edits to the pages under

- Separates style conventions out into their own page.
- Separates type constraints and conversion info into their own page.
- Conflates similar complex types a little more freely, since the distinction is
  only relevant when restricting inputs for a reusable module or resource.
- Clarifies several concepts that confused me during edits.

Nick Fagerlund 7d5db9522f
website: Fix plugin path on Windows (#19423)
...and one other reference to the application data directory.

Context:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/knownfolderid#folderid_roamingappdata

In newer Windows versions, the folder accessible as `%APPDATA%` (and via various
APIs) is actually at something like "documents and settings\user\application
data\roaming", while earlier versions omit the "\roaming" part of the path. This
means you can confuse people by referring to the "application data" directory by
its human name, because "roaming" is the real application data directory, but it
looks like a subdirectory of "application data".

Thus, it's less confusing to just use the `%APPDATA%` variable, with the added
benefit that you can copy and paste the path and it'll just work in most places.

Martin Atkins 0b710792a8 website: "functions" layout "Terraform Language" is back
In the heirarchy, both "Terraform Language" and "Functions" are "up" from
the individual function reference pages, so we'll class them as such to
use the back-facing arrow instead of the forward-facing arrow.

Martin Atkins 1360948a41 website: document the functions "keys", "lookup", and "values"
I missed these on the first pass because in the legacy function table they
are, for some reason, added in a different place than the others.

Martin Atkins 60ad24229f website: Link from Configuration index to Resource page
Since the index page is long, by the time the reader reaches the end of
it the relevant portion if the navigation is unlikely to be visible. To
compensate for this, we'll link to the first sub-section and thus give
the user an opportunity to notice the navigation structure for the rest
of the pages.

be redirected to the expressions page to retain a target for any
existing links on third-party sites.

This kinda-weird feature was previously quite severely under-documented in

explains in more detail exactly how it behaves for different top-level
block types within the configuration.

Martin Atkins 48d940323e website: Beginnings of "Functions" configuration section
Previously we just listed out all of the functions in alphabetical order
inside the "Interpolation Syntax" page, but that format doesn't leave much
room for details and usage examples.

Now we give each function its own page, and categorize them for easier
navigation. While many functions are very simple and don't really warrant
a full page, certain functions do have additional details that are worth
mentioning and this structure scales better for those more complicated
functions.

So far this includes only the numeric and string functions. Other
categories will follow in subsequent commits.

Martin Atkins 39579e8d0f website: revisions to the "Configuration Syntax" page and expressions
This rewrite of the "Configuration Syntax" page now gives some more detail
on the top-level structural constructs and de-emphasizes the name "HCL"
as subordinate to "the Terraform language".

It also now includes some commentary on valid identifiers and comments,
and issues around character encodings and line endings.

In addition, we now have a new "Expressions" page that replaces the old
"Interpolation Syntax" page, covering the expression language features
we inherit from HCL and how they behave in the context of Terraform.

The "Expressions" page currently links to a page about the built-in
functions which does not yet exist. This will be created in a later
commit.

Martin Atkins e1754970a8 website: Revise the "Data Sources" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

The data sources page has not got any real attention since the feature
was first added, and our vocabulary for describing them and their
lifecycle hadn't quite settled when the page was originally written. This
new version is consistent in how it uses "data source" to describe the
feature that providers offer and "data resource" to describe what is
created by a "data" block in configuration, which then allows us to
draw on the many shared features between both data and managed resources.

For the moment this waits until "data resource" is defined in order to
first introduce the qualifier "managed resource". We may wish to revise
this again to mention that more specific nomenclature in passing on the
"Resources" page, in case a user encounters it elsewhere and wants to
learn what it means without needing to be familiar with data resources
first.

Martin Atkins eeb96b1e12 website: Revise the "Modules" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

Since we already have a whole top-level section devoted to modules, there
is no need for full coverage of all of their features here. Instead, this
section focuses on an an initial introduction to what modules are and
the basics of their usage within the Terraform language. We then link
to the main modules section for the full details.

Martin Atkins e41883d972 website: Revise the "Output Values" configuration docs section
This adopts a more guide-like writing style, similar to what prior commits
have done to some other subsections of this section.

In the process of writing this, I identified some unclear statements in
the "Resources" subsection, and so these are also revised here for
consistency with the output values documentation.

2018-10-16 18:47:33 -07:00
Martin Atkins a6cf796873 website: Revise the "Providers" configuration docs section
These revisions reflect this sub-section's new earlier placement in the
sub-section list, leading to a more guide-like style for the initial
sections.

Also includes some minor copy-editing to align terminology with that
introduced in the prior commit for the "Resources" docs page.
2018-10-16 18:47:33 -07:00
Martin Atkins 6fa6a0d110 website: revise the "Resources" configuration docs section
This is now the leading subsection of the Configuration section of the
docs, and so this rewrite intends to make it more "guide-like" and as
accessible as possible to those who are not yet familiar with other
Terraform concepts.

This rewrite also attempts to introduce some consistency into our
vocabulary, which should eventually be reflected throughout our
documentation. In particular:

- "Resource" refers to the block the user writes in configuration, while
  "Resource _Type_" refers to what the provider defines. We previously
  used "resource" for both of these interchangeably.

- "Resource" is no longer used to refer to what gets created and managed
  in remote APIs as a result of a resource block in configuration. Lacking
  a good distinct name for these, this guide uses the word "object",
  qualifying it as "infrastructure object" or "remote object" where
  necessary to retain clarity. This distinction is important to enable
  a clear description of resource lifecycle.

- "Argument" refers to an element (attribute or block) within a resource
  block. This terminology was already being used in some places, so we
  embrace it here as a way to distinguish from "attribute", which is
  what a resource _exports_ for use in expressions.

- Since interpolation is no longer needed to use expressions in the
  language, the word "expression" is used to describe the definition of
  a value that might involve some computation. Where necessary, this is
  used with a modifier "arbitrary expression" to contrast with situations
  where the set of allowed expression constructs is constrained.

Martin Atkins 27429b61a9 website: Flesh out the intro to the "Configuration" section.
The prior content on this page was little more than an instruction to
begin navigating the sub-sections of this section.

The new content aims to give a broad overview of some of the language
concepts and a syntax example, in order to create some context to help
the user navigate the subsections more easily.

This also introduces for the first time usage of the term "the Terraform
language". This was previously left un-named, leading to some awkward
sentence constructions elsewhere in the docs. This new name gives us
some specific terminology to use in order to contrast the language that
exists at Terraform's level of abstraction, defining the semantics, from
the underlying grammar provided by HCL.
2018-10-16 18:46:46 -07:00
Martin Atkins e5e3452ffa website: Reorganize the "Configuration" docs section
With the additional configuration language features coming in Terraform
v0.12, our existing documentation structure is beginning to strain.

Here we reorganize the navigation slightly in order to introduce the
concepts in a more appropriate order so that we can reveal complexity
more gradually. Subsequent commits will revise the content of these
pages to better reflect the new sequencing.

The "Environment Variables" page is moved from the Configuration section
into the "Commands" section, since it is not considered a part of the
configuration language and thus more appropriate in the CLI documentation.
The old placement is reflective of the broader purpose that the
"Configuration" section had originally, but its new focus will be on
the Terraform language (.tf files) in particular, with other aspects of
customizing Terraforms behavior covered in other sections.
