Data sources are given a special plan output when the diff would show it
creating a new resource, to indicate that there is only a logical data
resource being read. Data sources nested in modules weren't formatted in
the plan output in the same way.
This checks for the "data." part of the path in nested modules, and adds
acceptance tests for the plan output.
This an effort to address hashicorp/terraform#516.
Adding the Sensitive attribute to the resource schema, opening up the
ability for resource maintainers to mark some fields as sensitive.
Sensitive fields are hidden in the output, and, possibly in the future,
could be encrypted.
This means it’s shown correctly in a plan and takes into account any
actions that are dependant on the tainted resource and, vice verse, any
actions that the tainted resource depends on.
So this changes the behaviour from saying this resource is tainted so
just forget about it and make sure it gets deleted in the background,
to saying I want that resource to be recreated (taking into account the
existing resource and it’s place in the graph).
Internally a data source read is represented as a creation diff for the
resource, but in the UI we'll show it as a distinct icon and color so that
the user can more easily understand that these operations won't affect
any real infrastructure.
Unfortunately by the time we get to formatting the plan in the UI we
only have the resource names to work with, and can't get at the original
resource mode. Thus we're forced to infer the resource mode by exploiting
knowledge of the naming scheme.
New resources logically don't have "old values" for their attributes, so
showing them as updates from the empty string is misleading and confusing.
Instead, we'll skip showing the old value in a creation diff.
Sometimes in all the output from ```terraform plan```, it is difficult
to see the ```(forces new resource)``` message.
This patch adds a little bit of color.
