a large refactor to addrs.AbsProviderConfig, embedding the addrs.Provider instead of a Type string. I've added and updated tests, added some Legacy functions to support older state formats and shims, and added a normalization step when reading v4 (current) state files (not the added tests under states/statefile/roundtrip which work with both current and legacy-style AbsProviderConfig strings).
The remaining 'fixme' and 'todo' comments are mostly going to be addressed in a subsequent PR and involve looking up a given local provider config's FQN. This is fine for now as we are only working with default assumption.
We're going to allow the provider to encode whatever it wants in here, so
a provider can use whatever is most convenient for its implementation
language and to avoid some of the bugs we saw with the prior model where
the forced round-trip through JSON and back into interface{} would cause
some loss of fidelity, leading to bugs.
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.
The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.
The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.
Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.
The types here were originally written to allow us to defer decoding of
object values until schemas are available, but it turns out that this was
forcing us to defer decoding longer than necessary and potentially decode
the same value multiple times.
To avoid this, we create pairs of types to represent the encoded and
decoded versions and methods for moving between them. These types are
identical to one another apart from how the dynamic values are
represented.
Whereas the parent directory "states" contains the models that represent
state in memory, this package's responsibility is in serializing a subset
of that data to a JSON-based file format and then reloading that data
back into memory later.
For reading, this package supports state file formats going back to
version 1, using lightly-adapted versions of the migration code previously
used in the "terraform" package. State data is upgraded to the latest
version step by step and then transformed into the in-memory state
representation, which is distinct from any of the file format structs in
this package to enable these to evolve separately.
For writing, only the latest version (4) is supported, which is a new
format that is a slightly-flattened version of the new in-memory state
models introduced in the prior commit. This format retains the outputs
from only the root module and it flattens out the module and instance
parts of the hierarchy by including the identifiers for these inside
the child object. The loader then reconstructs the multi-layer structure
we use for more convenient access in memory.
For now, the only testing in this package is of round-tripping different
versions of state through a read and a write, ensuring the output is
as desired. This exercises all of the reading, upgrading, and writing
functions but should be augmented in later commits to improve coverage
and introduce more focused tests for specific parts of the functionality.
