The clistate package includes a Locker interface which provides a simple
way for the local backend to lock and unlock state, while providing
feedback to the user if there is a delay while waiting for the lock.
Prior to this commit, the backend was responsible for initializing the
Locker, passing through direct access to the cli.Ui instance.
This structure prevented commands from implementing different
implementations of the state locker UI. In this commit, we:
- Move the responsibility of creating the appropriate Locker to the
source of the Operation;
- Add the ability to set the context for a Locker via a WithContext
method;
- Replace the Locker's cli.Ui and Colorize members with a StateLocker
view;
- Implement views.StateLocker for human-readable UI;
- Update the Locker interface to return detailed diagnostics instead of
errors, reducing its direct interactions with UI;
- Add a Timeout() method on Locker to allow the remote backend to
continue to misuse the -lock-timeout flag to cancel pending runs.
When an Operation is created, the StateLocker field must now be
populated with an implementation of Locker. For situations where locking
is disabled, this can be a no-op locker.
This change has no significant effect on the operation of Terraform,
with the exception of slightly different formatting of errors when state
locking or unlocking fails.
The enhanced backends (local and remote) need to be able to render
diagnostics during operations. Prior to this commit, this functionality
was supported with a per-backend `ShowDiagnostics` function pointer.
In order to allow users of these backends to control how diagnostics are
rendered, this commit moves that function pointer to the `Operation`
type. This means that a diagnostic renderer is configured for each
operation, rather than once per backend initialization.
Some secondary consequences of this change:
- The `ReportResult` method on the backend is now moved to the
`Operation` type, as it needs to access the `ShowDiagnostics` callback
(and nothing else from the backend);
- Tests which assumed that diagnostics would be written to the backend's
`cli.Ui` instance are migrated to using a new record/playback diags
helper function;
- Apply, plan, and refresh commands now pass a pointer to the `Meta`
struct's `showDiagnostics` method.
This commit should not change how Terraform works, and is refactoring in
preparation for more changes which move UI code out of the backend.
CountHook is an implementation of terraform.Hook which is used to
calculate how many resources were added, changed, or destroyed during an
apply. This hook was previously injected in the local backend code,
which means that the apply command code has no access to these counts.
This commit moves the CountHook code into the command package, and
removes an unused instance of the hook in the plan code path. The goal
here is moving UI code into the command package.
Terraform remote version conflicts are not a concern for operations. We
are in one of three states:
- Running remotely, in which case the local version is irrelevant;
- Workspace configured for local operations, in which case the remote
version is meaningless;
- Forcing local operations with a remote backend, which should only
happen in the Terraform Cloud worker, in which case the Terraform
versions by definition match.
This commit therefore disables the version check for operations (plan
and apply), which has the consequence of disabling it in Terraform Cloud
and Enterprise runs. In turn this enables Terraform Enterprise runs with
bundles which have a version that doesn't exactly match the bundled
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.
The remote backend tests spent most of their execution time sleeping in
various polling and backoff waits. This is unnecessary when testing
against a mock server, so reduce all of these delays when under test to
much lower values.
Only one remaining test has an artificial delay: verifying the discovery
of services against an unknown hostname. This times out at DNS
resolution, which is more difficult to fix than seems worth it at this
time.
* unlock the state if Context() has an error, exactly as backend/remote does today
* terraform console and terraform import will exit before unlocking state in case of error in Context()
* responsibility for unlocking state in the local backend is pushed down the stack, out of backend.go and into each individual state operation
* add tests confirming that state is not locked after apply and plan
* backend/local: add checks that the state is unlocked after operations
This adds tests to plan, apply and refresh which validate that the state
is unlocked after all operations, regardless of exit status. I've also
added specific tests that force Context() to fail during each operation
to verify that locking behavior specifically.
Previously we did not allow -target to be used with the remote backend
because there was no way to send the targets to Terraform Cloud/Enterprise
via the API.
There is now an attribute in the request for creating a plan that allows
us to send target addresses, so we'll remove that restriction and copy
the given target addresses into the API request.
In order to support free organizations, we need a way to load the `remote` backend and then, depending on the used offering/plan, enable or disable remote operations.
In other words, we should be able to dynamically fall back to the `local` backend if needed, after first configuring the `remote` backend.
To make this works we need to change the way this was done previously when the env var `TF_FORCE_LOCAL_BACKEND` was set. The clear difference of course being that the env var would be available on startup, while the used offering/plan is only known after being able to connect to TFE.
This work was done against APIs that were already changed in the branch
before work began, and so it doesn't apply to the v0.12 development work.
To allow v0.12 to merge down to master, we'll revert this work out for now
and then re-introduce equivalent functionality in later commits that works
against the new APIs.
In some cases this is needed to keep the UX clean and to make sure any remote exit codes are passed through to the local process.
The most obvious example for this is when using the "remote" backend. This backend runs Terraform remotely and stream the output back to the local terminal.
When an error occurs during the remote execution, all the needed error information will already be in the streamed output. So if we then return an error ourselves, users will get the same errors twice.
By allowing the backend to specify the correct exit code, the UX remains the same while preserving the correct exit codes.
If the policy passes, only show that instead of the full check output to prevent cluttering the output. So a passing policy will only show:
-----------------------------------------------
Organization policy check: passed
-----------------------------------------------
