Martin Atkins 42e0985839 command: use -lock=false consistently in -help output
Previously the docs for this were rather confusing because they showed an
option to turn _on_ state locking, even though it's on by default.

Instead, we'll now show -lock=false in all cases and document it as
_disabling_ the default locking.

While working on this I also noticed that the equivalent docs on the
website were differently inconsistent. I've not made them fully consistent
here but at least moreso than they were before.

Martin Atkins 874f1abb2b cli+website: -ignore-remote-version docs and other cleanup
We previously had only very short descriptions of what
-ignore-remote-version does due to having the documentation for it inline
on many different command pages and -help output.

Instead, we'll now centralize the documentation about this argument on
the remote backend page, and link to it or refer to it from all other
locations. This then allows us to spend more words on discussing what
Terraform normally does _without_ this option and warning about the
consequences of using it.

This continues earlier precedent for some local-backend-specific options
which we also don't recommend for typical use. While this does make these
options a little more "buried" than before, that feels justified given
that they are all "exceptional use only" sort of options where users ought
to learn about various caveats before using them.

While there I also took this opportunity to fix some earlier omissions
with the local-backend-specific options and a few other minor consistency
tweaks.

Alisdair McDiarmid 2d1976bbda clistate: Update clistate.Locker for command views
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.

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.

Alisdair McDiarmid b239570abb command: Always validate workspace name
The workspace name can be overridden by setting a TF_WORKSPACE
environment variable. If this is done, we should still validate the
resulting workspace name; otherwise, we could end up with an invalid and
unselectable workspace.

This change updates the Meta.Workspace function to return an error, and
handles that error wherever necessary.

command: discard output from flags package and return errs directly (#22373)
Any command using meta.defaultFlagSet *might* occasionally exit before
the flag package's output got written. This caused flag error messages
to get lost. This PR discards the flag package output in favor of
directly returning the error to the end user.

Sander van Harmelen ef9054562e commands: make sure the correct flagset is used
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.

So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.

Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.

Sander van Harmelen 79a9a15879 command/state: lock when pushing state
Next to adding the locking for the `state push` command, this commit also fixes a small bug where the lock would not be propertly released when running the `state show` command.

And finally it renames some variables in the `[un]taint` code in order to try to standardize the var names of a few frequently used variables (e.g. statemgr.Full, states.State, states.SyncState).

Martin Atkins a3403f2766 terraform: Ugly huge change to weave in new State and Plan types
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.

The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.

The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.

Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.

Martin Atkins c937c06a03 terraform: ugly huge change to weave in new HCL2-oriented types
Due to how deeply the configuration types go into Terraform Core, there
isn't a great way to switch out to HCL2 gradually. As a consequence, this
huge commit gets us from the old state to a _compilable_ new state, but
does not yet attempt to fix any tests and has a number of known missing
parts and bugs. We will continue to iterate on this in forthcoming
commits, heading back towards passing tests and making Terraform
fully-functional again.

The three main goals here are:
- Use the configuration models from the "configs" package instead of the
  older models in the "config" package, which is now deprecated and
  preserved only to help us write our migration tool.
- Do expression inspection and evaluation using the functionality of the
  new "lang" package, instead of the Interpolator type and related
  functionality in the main "terraform" package.
- Represent addresses of various objects using types in the addrs package,
  rather than hand-constructed strings. This is not critical to support
  the above, but was a big help during the implementation of these other
  points since it made it much more explicit what kind of address is
  expected in each context.

Since our new packages are built to accommodate some future planned
features that are not yet implemented (e.g. the "for_each" argument on
resources, "count"/"for_each" on modules), and since there's still a fair
amount of functionality still using old-style APIs, there is a moderate
amount of shimming here to connect new assumptions with old, hopefully in
a way that makes it easier to find and eliminate these shims later.

I apologize in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge
commit while spelunking through the commit history.

Martin Atkins ebafa51723 command: Various updates for the new backend package API
This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.

A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.

James Bardin bdd475e149 use the new clistate.Locker in commands
Use the new StateLocker field to provide a wrapper for locking the state

2018-02-23 16:48:15 -05:00
James Bardin e9a76808df create clistate.Locker interface
Simplify the use of clistate.Lock by creating a clistate.Locker
instance, which stores the context of locking a state, to allow unlock
to be called without knowledge of how the state was locked.

This alows the backend code to bring the needed UI methods to the point
where the state is locked, and still unlock the state from an outer
scope.

Provide a NoopLocker as well, so that callers can always call Unlock
without verifying the status of the lock.

Add the StateLocker field to the backend.Operation, so that the state
lock can be carried between the different function scopes of the backend
code. This will allow the backend context to lock the state before it's
read, while allowing the different operations to unlock the state when
they complete.

Martin Atkins 418a8a8bc9 command + backend: rename various API objects to "Workspace" terminology
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.

Change taint behaviour to act as a normal resource
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).
