Since there is little left that isn't core, remove the distinction for
now to reduce confusion, since a "core" binary will mostly work except
for provisioners.
All providers moved to new repos.
Added README, which also serves to preserve the directory in git in
cacse we want to add select providers back into core (e.g. null,
template, test)
* Update ISSUE_TEMPLATE
Update ISSUE_TEMPLATE to direct people to new split providers

Some initial notes on the core/provider split for those following along with commits.
More elaborate documentation will follow as the 0.10 release gets closer.
We are replacing this terminology. The old command continues to work for
compatibility, but is deprecated. The docs should reflect the
currently-recommended form.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
We are moving away from using the term "environment" to describe separate
named states for a single config, using "workspace" instead. The old
attribute name remains supported for backward compatibility, but is
marked as deprecated.
As part of our terminology shift, the interpolation variable for the name
of the current workspace changes to terraform.workspace. The old name
continues to be supported for compatibility.
We can't generate a deprecation warning from here so for now we'll just
silently accept terraform.env as an alias, but not mention it at all in
the error message in the hope that its use phases out over time before we
actually remove it.
Previously we just silently ignored warnings from validating the backend
config, but now that we have a deprecated argument it's important to print
these out so users can respond to the deprecation warning.
Feedback after 0.9 was that the term "environment" was confusing due to
it colliding with several other concepts, such as OS environment
variables, a non-aligned Terraform Enterprise concept, and differing ideas
of "environment" within various organizations.
This new term "workspace" is intended to ease some of that confusion. This
term is not used anywhere else in Terraform today, and we expect it to not
be used in a manner that would be confusing within user organizations.
This begins a deprecation cycle for the "terraform env" family of commands,
instead moving to an equivalent set of "terraform workspace" commands.
There are some remaining references to the old "environment" concept in
the code, which will be cleaned up in a separate change. This change is
instead focused on text visible in the UI and wording within code comments
for the benefit of human maintainers of the code.
This allows you to run multiple concurrent terraform operations against
different environments from the same source directory.
Fixes#14447.
Also removes some dead code which appears to do the same thing as the function I
modified.
When init was modified in 0.9 to initialize a terraform working
directory, the legacy behavior was kept to copy or fetch module sources.
This left the init command without the ability that the plan and apply
commands have to target a specific directory for the operation.
This commit removes the legacy behavior altogether, and allows init to
target a directory for initialization, bringing it into parity with plan
and apply. If one want to copy a module to the target or current
directory, that will have to be done manually before calling init. We
can later reintroduce fetching modules with init without breaking this
new behavior, by adding the source as an optional second argument.
The unit tests testing the copying of sources with init have been
removed, as well as some out of date (and commented out) init tests
regarding remote states.
ConstrainVersions was documented as returning nil, but it was instead
returning an empty set. Use the Count() method to check for nil or
empty. Add test to verify failed constraints will show up as missing.
"environment" is a very overloaded term, so here we prefer to use the
term "working directory" to talk about a local directory where operations
are executed on a given Terraform configuration.
This form of "terraform init" is vestigial at this point and being phased
out in 0.10. Something similar may return in a later version for
installing modules from a more formal module library, but for now we are
advising to use git manually to simplify the UX for "terraform init".
Each provider plugin will take at least a few seconds to download, so
providing feedback about each one should make users feel less like
Terraform has hung.
Ideally we'd show ongoing progress during the download, but that's not
possible without re-working go-getter, so we'll accept this as an interim
solution for now.
The information stored in a plan is tightly coupled to the Terraform core
and provider plugins that were used to create it, since we have no
mechanism to "upgrade" a plan to reflect schema changes and so mismatching
versions are likely to lead to the "diffs didn't match during apply"
error.
To allow us to catch this early and return an error message that _doesn't_
say it's a bug in Terraform, we'll remember the Terraform version and
plugin binaries that created a particular plan and then require that
those match when loading the plan in order to apply it.
The planFormatVersion is increased here so that plan files produced by
earlier Terraform versions _without_ this information won't be accepted
by this new version, and also that older versions won't try to process
plans created by newer versions.
This was added with the idea of using it to override the SHA256 hashes
to match those hypothetically stored in a plan, but we already have a
mechanism elsewhere for populating context fields from plan fields, so
this is not actually necessary.
