Alisdair McDiarmid 7c0ec0107f backend: Replace ShowDiagnostics with view.Diagnostics 2021-02-25 11:26:05 -05:00
Martin Atkins d2c3403ab6 command: Use the new terminal.Streams object
Here we propagate in the initialized terminal.Streams from package main,
and then onwards to backends running in CLI mode.

This also replaces our use of helper/wrappedstreams to determine whether
stdin is a terminal or a pipe. helper/wrappedstreams returns incorrect
file descriptors on Windows, causing StdinPiped to always return false on
that platform and thus causing one of the odd behaviors discussed in

Finally, this includes some wrappers around the ability to look up the
number of columns in the terminal in preparation for use elsewhere. These
wrappers deal with the fact that our unit tests typically won't populate
meta.Streams.

Martin Atkins 5782357c28 backend: Update interface and implementations for new config loader
The new config loader requires some steps to happen in a different
order, particularly in regard to knowing the schema in order to
decode the configuration.

Here we lean directly on the configschema package, rather than
on helper/schema.Backend as before, because it's generally
sufficient for our needs here and this prepares us for the
helper/schema package later moving out into its own repository
to seed a "plugin SDK".

Sander van Harmelen 97d1c46602 Update the backend import names
It’s a purely cosmetic change, but I find it easier to read them like this.

Martin Atkins 0fe43c8977 cli: allow disabling "next steps" message in terraform plan
In #15884 we adjusted the plan output to give an explicit command to run
to apply a plan, whereas before this command was just alluded to in the
prose.

Since releasing that, we've got good feedback that it's confusing to
include such instructions when Terraform is running in a workflow
automation tool, because such tools usually abstract away exactly what
commands are run and require users to take different actions to
proceed through the workflow.

To accommodate such environments while retaining helpful messages for
normal CLI usage, here we introduce a new environment variable
TF_IN_AUTOMATION which, when set to a non-empty value, is a hint to
Terraform that it isn't being run in an interactive command shell and
it should thus tone down the "next steps" messaging.

The documentation for this setting is included as part of the "...in
automation" guide since it's not generally useful in other cases. We also
intentionally disclaim comprehensive support for this since we want to
avoid creating an extreme number of "if running in automation..."
codepaths that would increase the testing matrix and hurt maintainability.

The focus is specifically on the output of the three commands we give in
the automation guide, which at present means the following two situations:

* "terraform init" does not include the final paragraphs that suggest
  running "terraform plan" and tell you in what situations you might need
  to re-run "terraform init".
* "terraform plan" does not include the final paragraphs that either
  warn about not specifying "-out=..." or instruct to run
  "terraform apply" with the generated plan file.

command: use backend.CLIIinit
I made this interface way back with the original backend work and I
guess I forgot to hook it up! This is becoming an issue as I'm working
on our 2nd enhanced backend that requires this information and I
realized it was hardcoded before.

This propertly uses the CLIInit interface allowing any backend to gain
access to this data.

backend: introduce the backend set of interfaces
Backends are a mechanism that allow abstracting the behavior of
Terraform CLI from the actual core. This allows us to slip in special
behavior such as state loading, remote operations, etc.
