As the cloud e2e tests evolved some common patters became apparent. This
standardizes and consolidates the patterns into a common test runner
that takes the table tests and runs them in parallel. Some tests also
needed to be converted to utilize table tests.
Running tests in parallel can help speed up overall test execution. Go
blocks parent tests while child tests run, so it does not fully fan out
as you might expect. It is noticably faster, though. Running 4 or more
concurrent processes knocks over a minute off the total execution time.
There are a few command line options for "terraform init" which are only
relevant when working with traditional backends, with the Cloud
integration previously just mostly ignoring them, or sometimes misbehaving
slightly due to them creating an unreasonable situation.
Now we'll catch these and return explicit errors, in order to be clear
that these options are not needed nor supported in Cloud mode.
This just gives a little extra information to work with when trying to
understand why a test failed. It doesn't change what any of the tests are
actually trying to test.
Add the `-parallel N` switch to tell the tests to run in N processes:
```
TFE_TOKEN=$TFE_TOKEN TFE_HOSTNAME=$TFE_HOSTNAME TF_ACC=1 go test -v \
-tags=e2e ./internal/cloud/e2e/... -parallel 4
```
There are actually a few different ways to get to this message.
1. Blank state — no previous terraform applied. Start with a cloud block.
1. Implicit local — start with no backend specified. This actually goes
through the same code execution path as the first scenario.
1. Explicit local — start with a backend local block that has been
applied, then change from the local backend to a cloud block. This
will recognize the state, and is a different path through the code in
the meta backend.
This commit handles the last case. The messaging has also been tweaked.
End to end test included as well.
