In order to allow lazy evaluation of resource indexes, we can't index
resources immediately via GetResourceInstance. Change the evaluation to
always return whole Resources via GetResource, and index individual
instances during expression evaluation.
This will allow us to always check for invalid index errors rather than
returning an unknown value and ignoring it during apply.

Enumerates a set of regular file names from a given glob pattern. Implemented via the Go stdlib `path/filepath.Glob()` functionality. Notably, stdlib does not support `**` or `{}` extended patterns. See also: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11862
To support the extended glob patterns, it will require adding a dependency on a third party library or adding our own matching code.
These existing upstream cty functions allow matching strings against
regular expression patterns, which can be useful if you need to consume
a non-standard string format that Terraform doesn't (and can't) have a
built-in function for.
* lang/funcs: lookup() can work with maps of lists, maps and objects
lookup() can already handle aribtrary objects of (whatever) and should
handle maps of (whatever) similarly.
Mistakenly using dynamic on an attribute will lead to a panic when
attempting to resolve variable references with a partial body, because
the dynamic blocks have yet to be expanded and validated. Check that the
block element type is actually an object before generating a schema.
The function would previously panic when one or more null values were among the arguments.
The new behavior treats nulls as empty strings, therefore, it removes them.
These follow the same principle as jsondecode and jsonencode, but use
YAML instead of JSON.
YAML has a much more complex information model than JSON, so we can only
support a subset of it during decoding, but hopefully the subset supported
here is a useful one.
Because there are many different ways to _generate_ YAML, the yamlencode
function is forced to make some decisions, and those decisions are likely
to affect compatibility with other real-world YAML parsers. Although the
format here is intended to be generic and compatible, we may find that
there are problems with it that'll we'll want to adjust for in a future
release, so yamlencode is therefore marked as experimental for now until
the underlying library is ready to commit to ongoing byte-for-byte
compatibility in serialization.
The main use-case here is met by yamldecode, which will allow reading in
files written in YAML format by humans for use in Terraform modules, in
situations where a higher-level input format than direct Terraform
language declarations is helpful.
This is similar to the function of the same name in Python, generating a
sequence of numbers as a list that can then be used in other
sequence-oriented operations.
The primary use-case for it is to turn a count expressed as a number into
a list of that length, which can then be iterated over or passed to a
collection function to produce that number of something else, as shown
in the example at the end of its documentation page.
Added higher-level test for matchkeys to exercise mixing
types in searchset. This had to be in the functions tests so the HCL
auto conversion from tuple to list would occur.
`matchkeys` was returning a (false) error if the searchset was a
variable, since then the type of the keylist and searchset parameters
would not match.
This does slightly change the behavior: previously matchkeys would
produce an error if the parameters were not of the same type, for e.g.
if searchset was a list of strings and keylist was a list of integers.
This no longer produces an error.
If a dynamic block is evaluated zero times, the body content will
contain 0 blocks. Allow the probe for ConfigModeAttr to accept that no
blocks with a matching attribute should still be converted to a block if
they are called with dynamicExpand.
Previously the type-selection codepath for an input tuple referred
unconditionally to the start and end index values. In the Type callback,
only the types of the arguments are guaranteed to be known, so any access
to the values must be guarded with an .IsKnown check, or else the function
will not short-circuit properly when an unknown value is passed.
Now we will check the start and end indices are in range when we have
enough information to do so, but we'll return an approximate result if
either is unknown.
FlattenFunc can return lists and tuples when individual elements are
unknown. Only return an unknown tuple if the number of elements cannot
be determined because it contains an unknown series.
Make sure flatten can handle non-series elements, which were previously
lost due to passing a slice value as the argument.
When slicing a list containing unknown values, the list itself is known,
and slice should return the proper slice of that list.
Make SliceFunc return the correct type for slices of tuples, and
disallow slicing sets.
cty now guarantees that sets of primitive values will iterate in a
reasonable order. Previously it was the caller's responsibility to deal
with that, but we invariably neglected to do so, causing inconsistent
ordering. Since cty prioritizes consistent behavior over performance, it
now imposes its own sort on set elements as part of iterating over them so
that calling applications don't have to worry so much about it.
This change also causes cty to consistently push unknown and null values
in sets to the end of iteration, where before that was undefined. This
means that our diff output will now consistently list additions before
removals when showing sets, rather than the ordering being undefined as
before.
The ordering of known, non-null, non-primitive values is still not
contractually fixed but remains consistent for a particular version of
cty.
* lang/funcs: testing of functions through the lang package API
The function-specific unit tests do not cover the HCL conversion that happens when the functions are called in a terraform configuration. For e.g., HCL converts sets to lists before passing it to the function. This means that we could not test passing a set in the function _unit_ tests.
This adds a higher-level acceptance test, plus a check that every (pure) function has a test.
* website/docs: update function documentation
* funcs/coalesce: return the first non-null, non-empty element from a
sequence.
The go-cty coalesce function, which was originally used here, returns the
first non-null element from a sequence. Terraform 0.11's coalesce,
however, returns the first non-empty string from a list of strings.
This new coalesce function aims to preserve terraform's documented
functionality while adding support for additional argument types. The
tests include those in go-cty and adapted tests from the 0.11 version of
coalesce.

When a top-level list-of-object contains an attribute that is also
list-of-object we need to do the fixup again inside the nested body (using
our synthetic attributes-only schema) so that the attr-as-blocks mechanism
can apply within the nested blocks too.
Previously it was calling directly to hcldec.Variables, and thus missing
the special fixups we do inside ReferencesInBlock to deal with
Terraform-specific concerns such as our attribute-as-blocks preprocessing.
In order to preserve pre-v0.12 idiom for list-of-object attributes, we'll
prefer to use block syntax for them except for the special situation where
the user explicitly assigns an empty list, where attribute syntax is
required in order to allow existing provider logic to differentiate from
an implicit lack of blocks.
For compatibility with documented patterns from existing providers we are
now allowing (via a pre-processing step) any attribute whose type is a
list-of-object or set-of-object type to optionally be assigned using one
or more blocks whose type is the attribute name.
The pre-processing functionality was implemented in previous commits but
we were not correctly detecting references within these blocks that are,
from the perspective of the primary schema, invalid. Now we'll use an
alternative implementation of variable detection that is able to apply the
same schema rewriting technique we used to implement the transform and
thus can find all of the references as if they were already in their
final locations.
Because we handle FixUpBlockAttrs after dynamic block expansion, when
resolving variables we unfortunately need to consider the possibility of
both dynamic block expansion _and_ the block attrs fixup.
To accommodate this we have a variant of dynblock.VariablesHCLDec that
instead walks using the configschema.Block representation of the schema
and applies the same opportunistic schema rewrite used by FixUpBlockAttrs
at each body encountered during the walk.
