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.	5 years ago
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.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	1d3e34e35e	command: New -replace=... planning option ... This allows a similar effect to pre-tainting an object but does the action within the context of a normal plan and apply, avoiding the need for an intermediate state where the old object still exists but is marked as tainted. The core functionality for this was already present, so this commit is just the UI-level changes to make that option available for use and to explain how it contributed to the resulting plan in Terraform's output.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	6bed3008a5	website: Reworking of the "terraform plan" docs, and related pages ... It's been a long time since we gave this page an overhaul, and with our ongoing efforts to make plan and apply incorporate all of the side-effects that might need to be done against a configuration it seems like a good time for some restructuring in that vein. The starting idea here is to formally split the many "terraform plan" options into a few different categories: - Planning modes - Planning options - Other options The planning modes and options are the subset that are also accepted by "terraform apply" when it's running in its default mode of generating a plan and then prompting for interactive approval of it. This then allows us to avoid duplicating all of that information on the "terraform apply" page, and thus allows us to spend more words discussing each of them. This set of docs is intended as a fresh start into which we'll be able to more surgically add in the information about -refresh-only and -replace=... once we have those implemented. Consequently there are some parts of this which may seem a little overwraught for what it's currently describing; that's a result of my having prepared this by just deleting the -refresh-only and -replace=... content from our initial docs draft and submitted the result, in anticipation of re-adding the parts I've deleted here in the very near future in other commits.	5 years ago
Pam Selle	e1b0e3ce92	Remove -module option for taint and untaint ... This has been an error with help text, and can be removed.	5 years ago
