Object values returned from providers have their attributes marked as
sensitive based on the provider schema. This was not fully implemented
for nested attribute types, which is corrected in this commit.
Objects with optional attributes are only used for the decoding of
HCL, and those types should never be exposed elsewhere within
terraform.
Separate the external ImpliedType method from the cty.Type generated
internally for the decoder spec. This unfortunately causes our
ImpliedType method to return a different type than the
hcldec.ImpliedType function, but the former is only used within
terraform for concrete values, while the latter is used to decode
HCL. Renaming the ImpliedType methods could be done to further
differentiate them, but that does cause fairly large diff in the
codebase that does not seem worth the effort at this time.
* configs/configschema: fix missing "computed" attributes from NestedObject's ImpliedType
listOptionalAttrsFromObject was not including "computed" attributes in the list of optional object attributes. This is now fixed. I've also added some tests and fixed some panics and otherwise bad behavior when bad input is given. One natable change is in ImpliedType, which was panicking on an invalid nesting mode. The comment expressly states that it will return a result even when the schema is inconsistent, so I removed the panic and instead return an empty object.
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.
