Martin Atkins bab4979128 command/init: Remove the warnings about the "legacy" cache directory
We included these warnings in v0.14 after noticing that we'd accidentally
published some incorrect documentation about the purpose of the plugin
cache directory under .terraform/plugins. We switched to using
.terraform/providers instead so that we could treat any missing providers
that appear in the legacy directory as likely to be a result of following
that documentation, and thus produce this extra warning.

However, the further we get from v0.13 the more likely it is for this
warning to be a confusing false positive rather than something helpful,
and this is a non-trivial codepath requiring us to retain a concept that
we otherwise don't need (the "legacy cache dir"), so here we'll remove
those warnings and support code for v0.15 onwards.

These warnings were always accompanied by an error message saying that a
provider could not be found, and that error message remains after this
change. This just removes the "by the way..."-style warning we had been
emitting alongside the errors.

Martin Atkins 4b3e237668 command/init: Hint about providers in other namespaces
If a user forgets to specify the source address for a provider, Terraform
will assume they meant a provider in the registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/
namespace. If that ultimately doesn't exist, we'll now try to see if
there's some other provider source address recorded in the registry's
legacy provider lookup table, and suggest it if so.

The error message here is a terse one addressed primarily to folks who are
already somewhat familiar with provider source addresses and how to
specify them. Terraform v0.13 had a more elaborate version of this error
message which directed the user to try the v0.13 automatic upgrade tool,
but we no longer have that available in v0.14 and later so the user must
make the fix themselves.

Pam Selle b963ea8594 Update docs and add warning for -get-plugins
As of Terraform 0.13+, the get-plugins command has been
superceded by new provider installation mechanisms, and
general philosophy (providers are always installed, but
the sources may be customized). Updat the init command
to give users a warning if they are setting this flag,
to encourage them to remove it from their workflow, and
update relevant docs and docstrings as well

Alisdair McDiarmid c5c1f31db3 backend: Validate remote backend Terraform version
When using the enhanced remote backend, a subset of all Terraform
operations are supported. Of these, only plan and apply can be executed
on the remote infrastructure (e.g. Terraform Cloud). Other operations
run locally and use the remote backend for state storage.

This causes problems when the local version of Terraform does not match
the configured version from the remote workspace. If the two versions
are incompatible, an `import` or `state mv` operation can cause the
remote workspace to be unusable until a manual fix is applied.

To prevent this from happening accidentally, this commit introduces a
check that the local Terraform version and the configured remote
workspace Terraform version are compatible. This check is skipped for
commands which do not write state, and can also be disabled by the use
of a new command-line flag, `-ignore-remote-version`.

Terraform version compatibility is defined as:

- For all releases before 0.14.0, local must exactly equal remote, as
  two different versions cannot share state;
- 0.14.0 to 1.0.x are compatible, as we will not change the state
  version number until at least Terraform 1.1.0;
- Versions after 1.1.0 must have the same major and minor versions, as
  we will not change the state version number in a patch release.

If the two versions are incompatible, a diagnostic is displayed,
advising that the error can be suppressed with `-ignore-remote-version`.
When this flag is used, the diagnostic is still displayed, but as a
warning instead of an error.

Commands which will not write state can assert this fact by calling the
helper `meta.ignoreRemoteBackendVersionConflict`, which will disable the
checks. Those which can write state should instead call the helper
`meta.remoteBackendVersionCheck`, which will return diagnostics for
display.

In addition to these explicit paths for managing the version check, we
have an implicit check in the remote backend's state manager
initialization method. Both of the above helpers will disable this
check. This fallback is in place to ensure that future code paths which
access state cannot accidentally skip the remote version check.

Martin Atkins c94a6102df command: Improve consistency of the command short descriptions
The short description of our commands (as shown in the main help output
from "terraform") was previously very inconsistent, using different
tense/mood for different commands. Some of the commands were also using
some terminology choices inconsistent with how we currently talk about
the related ideas in our documentation.

Here I've tried to add some consistency by first rewriting them all in
the imperative mood (except the ones that just are just subcommand
groupings), and tweaking some of the terminology to hopefully gel better
with how we present similar ideas in our recently-updated docs.

While working on this I inevitably spotted some similar inconsistencies
in the longer-form help output of some of the commands. I've not reviewed
all of these for consistency, but I did update some where the wording
was either left inconsstent with the short form changes I'd made or
where the prose stood out to me as particularly inconsistent with our
current usual documentation language style.

All of this is subjective, so I expect we'll continue to tweak these over
time as we continue to develop our documentation writing style based on
user questions and feedback.

Martin Atkins 30204ecded command/cliconfig: Allow development overrides for providers
For normal provider installation we want to associate each provider with
a selected version number and find a suitable package for that version
that conforms to the official hashes for that release.

Those requirements are very onerous for a provider developer currently
testing a not-yet-released build, though. To allow for that case this new
CLI configuration feature allows overriding specific providers to refer
to give local filesystem directories.

Any provider overridden in this way is not subject to the usual
restrictions about selected versions or checksum conformance, and
activating an override won't cause any changes to the selections recorded
in the lock file because it's intended to be a temporary setting for one
developer only.

This is, in a sense, a spiritual successor of an old capability we had to
override specific plugins in the CLI configuration file. There were
some vestiges of that left in the main package and CLI config package
but nothing has actually been honoring them for several versions now and
so this commit removes them to avoid confusion with the new mechanism.

Martin Atkins e70ab09bf1 command: new cache directory .terraform/providers for providers
Terraform v0.10 introduced .terraform/plugins as a cache directory for
automatically-installed plugins, Terraform v0.13 later reorganized the
directory structure inside but retained its purpose as a cache.

The local cache used to also serve as a record of specifically which
packages were selected in a particular working directory, with the intent
that a second run of "terraform init" would always select the same
packages again. That meant that in some sense it behaved a bit like a
local filesystem mirror directory, even though that wasn't its intended
purpose.

Due to some unfortunate miscommunications, somewhere a long the line we
published some documentation that _recommended_ using the cache directory
as if it were a filesystem mirror directory when working with Terraform
Cloud. That was really only working as an accident of implementation
details, and Terraform v0.14 is now going to break that because the source
of record for the currently-selected provider versions is now the
public-facing dependency lock file rather than the contents of an existing
local cache directory on disk.

After some consideration of how to move forward here, this commit
implements a compromise that tries to avoid silently doing anything
surprising while still giving useful guidance to folks who were previously
using the unsupported strategy. Specifically:

- The local cache directory will now be .terraform/providers rather than
  .terraform/plugins, because .terraform/plugins is effectively "poisoned"
  by the incorrect usage that we can't reliably distinguish from prior
  version correct usage.

- The .terraform/plugins directory is now the "legacy cache directory". It
  is intentionally _not_ now a filesystem mirror directory, because that
  would risk incorrectly interpreting providers automatically installed
  by Terraform v0.13 as if they were a local mirror, and thus upgrades
  and checksum fetches from the origin registry would be blocked.

- Because of the previous two points, someone who _was_ trying to use the
  legacy cache directory as a filesystem mirror would see installation
  fail for any providers they manually added to the legacy directory.

  To avoid leaving that user stumped as to what went wrong, there's a
  heuristic for the case where a non-official provider fails installation
  and yet we can see it in the legacy cache directory. If that heuristic
  matches then we'll produce a warning message hinting to move the
  provider under the terraform.d/plugins directory, which is a _correct_
  location for "bundled" provider plugins that belong only to a single
  configuration (as opposed to being installed globally on a system).

This does unfortunately mean that anyone who was following the
incorrectly-documented pattern will now encounter an error (and the
aforementioned warning hint) after upgrading to Terraform v0.14. This
seems like the safest compromise because Terraform can't automatically
infer the intent of files it finds in .terraform/plugins in order to
decide automatically how best to handle them.

The internals of the .terraform directory are always considered
implementation detail for a particular Terraform version and so switching
to a new directory for the _actual_ cache directory fits within our usual
set of guarantees, though it's definitely non-ideal in isolation but okay
when taken in the broader context of this problem, where the alternative
would be silent misbehavior when upgrading.

Martin Atkins 2611e08430 command/init: Mention using the lock file for provider selection
This probably isn't the best UI we could do here, but it's a placeholder

and checking for new versions anyway.

Martin Atkins b3f5c7f1e6 command/init: Read, respect, and update provider dependency locks
This changes the approach used by the provider installer to remember
between runs which selections it has previously made, using the lock file
format implemented in internal/depsfile.

This means that version constraints in the configuration are considered
only for providers we've not seen before or when -upgrade mode is active.

Martin Atkins 59b116f7bf command/init: Remove support for legacy provider addresses
We no longer need to support 0.12-and-earlier-style provider addresses
because users should've upgraded their existing configurations and states
on Terraform 0.13 already.

For now this is only checked in the "init" command, because various test
shims are still relying on the idea of legacy providers the core layer.
However, rejecting these during init is sufficient grounds to avoid
supporting legacy provider addresses in the new dependency lock file
format, and thus sets the stage for a more severe removal of legacy
provider support in a later commit.

Martin Atkins f53264d378 command/init: Better error message for provider unsupported platform
As we add and remove support for different target platforms over time,
there will be transition periods where the available platforms for
each provider will be different than the available platforms for Terraform
CLI itself.

In recognition of that possibility, here we add a more specialized error
message for that situation which tries to explain the problem a little
more clearly than the generic error message that came before it.

In an ideal world we'd be able to detect situations where a newer or older
version has support in a similar vein to what we do with provider protocol
incompatibilities, but we don't currently have logic to fetch the data
necessary to implement that, so this is instead a presentation-only change
aimed at allowing some possible near-future changes to the supported
target platforms.

Martin Atkins 0b734a2803 command: Make provider installation interruptible
In earlier commits we started to make the installation codepath
context-aware so that it could be canceled in the event of a SIGINT, but
we didn't complete wiring that through the API of the getproviders
package.

Here we make the getproviders.Source interface methods, along with some
other functions that can make network requests, take a context.Context
argument and act appropriately if that context is cancelled.

The main providercache.Installer.EnsureProviderVersions method now also
has some context-awareness so that it can abort its work early if its
context reports any sort of error. That avoids waiting for the process
to wind through all of the remaining iterations of the various loops,
logging each request failure separately, and instead returns just
a single aggregate "canceled" error.

We can then set things up in the "terraform init" and
"terraform providers mirror" commands so that the context will be
cancelled if we get an interrupt signal, allowing provider installation
to abort early while still atomically completing any local-side effects
that may have started.

Alisdair McDiarmid 9f824c53a5 command: Better in-house provider install errors
When init attempts to install a legacy provider required by state and
fails, but another provider with the same type is successfully
installed, this almost definitely means that the user is migrating an
in-house provider. The solution here is to use the `terraform state
replace-provider` subcommand.

This commit makes that next step clearer, by detecting this specific
case, and displaying a list of commands to fix the existing state
provider references.

upgrade is necessary to move to it.

Alisdair McDiarmid f028b0a2bf command: Fix backend config schema validation

presence of all required fields, as the override can be a partial

overrides have been merged, which init already does.

Alisdair McDiarmid 677aabc767 command: Fix backend config override validation
When loading a backend config override file, init was doing two things
wrong:

- First, if the file failed to parse, we accidentally didn't return,
  which caused a panic due to the parsed body being nil;
- Secondly, we were overzealous with the validation of the file,
  allowing only attributes. While most backend configs are attributes
  only, the enhanced remote backend body also contains a `workspaces`
  block, which we need to support here.

This commit fixes the first bug with an early return and adds test cases
for missing file and intentionally-blank filename (to clear the config).

We also add a schema validation for the backend block, based on the
backend schema itself. This requires constructing an HCL body schema so
that we can call `Content` and check for diagnostic errors.

The result is more useful errors when an invalid backend config override
file is used, while also supporting the enhanced remote backend config
fully.

Does not include tests specific to the remote backend, because the
mocking involved to allow the backend to fully initialize is too
involved to be worth it.

Martin Atkins 7909dd318d command/init: Specialized error message for host that isn't registry
If the user specifies a host that isn't a provider registry in a provider
source address then we'll print out some specialized error messages for
different variants of that situation.

In particular, this includes a special case for when the error is on the
hostname "github.com", in anticipation of folks incorrectly attempting to
use GitHub repository URLs (or Go-style module paths that happen to be
on GitHub) to specify providers, so we can give a more specific hint about
that.

This is just a different presentation of an existing error case that we
are already covering in the installer tests, so there are no new tests
here. We could in principle have a test covering the exact text of these
error messages, but we don't have much precedent for command package tests
covering that level of cosmetic detail.

Martin Atkins 80ab867e57 command/init: Remove special 0.12upgrade heuristic
For Terraform v0.12 we introduced a special loading mode where we would
use the 0.11-syntax-compatible "earlyconfig" package as a heuristic to
identify situations where it was likely that the user was trying to use
0.11-only syntax that the upgrade tool might help with.

However, as the language has moved on that is no longer a suitable
heuristic in Terraform 0.13 and later: other new additions to the
language can cause the main loader to disagree with earlyconfig, which
would lead us to give poor advice about how to respond.

Instead, we'll now return the same generic "there are errors" message in
all syntax error cases. We have an extra message for errors in this
case (as compared to other commands) because "terraform init" is usually
the first command a new user interacts with and so this message gives some
extra explanation about what "terraform init" will do with the
configuration once it's valid.

This also includes a reset control character in the output of the message
as part of our ongoing mission to stop Terraform printing out whole
paragraphs of colored text, which can often be hard to read for various
reasons.

is interpreted by Terraform as:

  terraform init -backend-config= ./backend.conf

This results in an empty backend-config setting (which is semantically
valid!) followed by a custom configuration path (pointing at a file).

Due to a bug where we could exit without printing diagnostics, this
would result in a silent failure that was very difficult to diagnose.

Fetching a default namespace provider from the public registry can

configuration needs to be upgraded to use an explicit provider source.

This commit adds a more detailed diagnostic for this situation,
suggesting that the intended provider might be in a new namespace. The
recommended course of action is to run the 0.13upgrade command to
generate the correct required_providers configuration.

Alisdair McDiarmid 62d826e066 command/init: Use full config for provider reqs
Relying on the early config for provider requirements was necessary in
Terraform 0.12, to allow the 0.12upgrade command to run after init
installs providers.

However in 0.13, the same restrictions do not apply, and the detection
of provider requirements has changed. As a result, the early config
loader gives incorrect provider requirements in some circumstances,
such as those in the new test in this commit.

Therefore we are changing the init command to use the requirements found
by the full configuration loader. This also means that we can remove the
internal initwd CheckCoreVersionRequirements function.

getproviders: move protocol compatibility functions into registry client (#24846)

* getproviders: move responsibility for protocol compatibility checks into the registry client

The original implementation had the providercache checking the provider
metadata for protocol compatibility, but this is only relevant for the
registry source so it made more sense to move the logic into
getproviders.

This also addresses an issue where we were pulling the metadata for
every provider version until we found one that was supported. I've
extended the registry client to unmarshal the protocols in
`ProviderVersions` so we can filter through that list, instead of
pulling each version's metadata.
