Martin Atkins	0aa0e00fdc	website: Backend docs link to new .gitignore anchor The Git book seems to be using a different anchor format now, and so this link was previously effectively linking to the page as a whole rather than to the specific section we're trying to refer to.	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	6f68065326	website: Explicit example of for_each chaining between resources This pattern follows as a natural consequence of how for_each is defined, but I've noticed from community forum Q&A that newcomers often don't immediately notice the connection between what for_each expects as input and what a for_each resource produces as a result, so my aim here is to show a short example of that in the hope of helping folks see the link here and get ideas on how to employ the technique in other situations.	5 years ago

Martin Atkins	5f5432e8ea	website: v0.15 upgrade guide for sensitive resource attributes (#28355 ) * website: v0.15 upgrade guide for sensitive resource attributes Our earlier draft of this guide didn't include a section about the stabilization of the "provider_sensitive_attrs" language experiment. This new section aims to address the situation where a module might previously have been returning a sensitive value without having marked it as such, and thus that module will begin returning an error after upgrading to Terraform v0.15. As part of that, I also reviewed the existing documentation about these features and made some edits aiming to make these four different sections work well together if users refer to them all at once, as they are likely to do if they follow the new links from the upgrade guide. I aimed to retain all of the content we had before, but some of it is now in a new location. In particular, I moved the discussion about the v0.14 language experiment into the upgrade guide, because it seems like a topic only really relevant to those upgrading from an earlier version and not something folks need to know about if they are using Terraform for the first time in v0.15 or later. * minor fixups Co-authored-by: Kristin Laemmert <mildwonkey@users.noreply.github.com>	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	140c613ae8	lang/funcs: "one" function In the Terraform language we typically use lists of zero or one values in some sense interchangably with single values that might be null, because various Terraform language constructs are designed to work with collections rather than with nullable values. In Terraform v0.12 we made the splat operator [*] have a "special power" of concisely converting from a possibly-null single value into a zero-or-one list as a way to make that common operation more concise. In a sense this "one" function is the opposite operation to that special power: it goes from a zero-or-one collection (list, set, or tuple) to a possibly-null single value. This is a concise alternative to the following clunky conditional expression, with the additional benefit that the following expression is also not viable for set values, and it also properly handles the case where there's unexpectedly more than one value: length(var.foo) != 0 ? var.foo[0] : null Instead, we can write: one(var.foo) As with the splat operator, this is a tricky tradeoff because it could be argued that it's not something that'd be immediately intuitive to someone unfamiliar with Terraform. However, I think that's justified given how often zero-or-one collections arise in typical Terraform configurations. Unlike the splat operator, it should at least be easier to search for its name and find its documentation the first time you see it in a configuration. My expectation that this will become a common pattern is also my justification for giving it a short, concise name. Arguably it could be better named something like "oneornull", but that's a pretty clunky name and I'm not convinced it really adds any clarity for someone who isn't already familiar with it.	5 years ago

Martin Atkins	f47c4efb1b	website: Dynamic blocks can for_each any collection type We previously added a hint to both resource for_each and dynamic blocks about using the "flatten" and "setproduct" situations to construct suitable collections to repeat over. However, we used the same text in both places which ended up stating that dynamic blocks can only accept map or set values, which is a constraint that applies to resource for_each (because we need to assign a unique identifier to each instance) and not to dynamic blocks (which don't have any uniqueness enforced by Terraform Core itself). To remove that contradiction with the text above which talks about what is valid here, I've just generalized this to say "collection", because the primary point of this paragraph is the "one element per desired nested block" part, not specifically what sort of collections are permitted in this location. (Text further up describes the supported types.)	5 years ago

Martin Atkins	6f35c2847b	command: Reorganize docs of the local backend's legacy CLI options We have these funny extra options that date back to before Terraform even had remote state, which we've preserved along the way by most recently incorporating them as special-case overrides for the local backend. The documentation we had for these has grown less accurate over time as the details have shifted, and was in many cases missing the requisite caveats that they are only for the local backend and that backend configuration is the modern, preferred way to deal with the use-cases they were intended for. We always have a bit of a tension with this sort of legacy option because we want to keep them documented just enough to be useful to someone who finds an existing script/etc using them and wants to know what they do, but not to take up so much space that they might distract users from finding the modern alternative they should consider instead. As a compromise in that vein here I've created a new section about these options under the local backend documentation, which then gives us the space to go into some detail about the various behaviors and interactions and also to discuss their history and our recommended alternatives. I then simplified all of the other mentions of these in command documentation to just link to or refer to the local backend documentation. My hope then is that folks who need to know what these do can still find the docs, but that information can be kept out of the direct path of new users so they can focus on learning about remote backends instead. This is certainly not the most ideal thing ever, but it seemed like the best compromise between the competing priorities I described above.	5 years ago

Martin Atkins	89b2405080	lang/funcs: "sensitive" and "nonsensitive" functions These aim to allow hinting to Terraform about situations where it's not able to automatically infer value sensitivity. "nonsensitive" is for situations where Terraform's behavior is too conservative, such as when a new value is derived from a sensitive value in such a way that all of the sensitive content is removed. "sensitive", on the other hand, is for situations where Terraform can't otherwise infer that a value is sensitive. These situations should be pretty rare in a module that's making effective use of sensitive input variables and output values, but the documentation shows one example of an uncommon situation where a more direct hint via this function would be needed. Both of these functions are aimed at only occasional use in unusual situations. They are here for reasons of pragmatism, not because we expect them to be used routinely or recommend their use.	5 years ago

Martin Atkins	8d37a70987	website: Initial docs for the module integration testing experiment Since this is still at an early phase and likely to change significantly in future iterations, rather than attempting to guess on a suitable final location for documenting the testing feature I've instead taken the unusual approach of adding a new page that is explicitly about the experiment. My expectation is that once we conclude the experiment we'll replace this new page with a stub that just explains that there was once an experiment and then links to whatever final feature unfolded from the research. The URL for this page is hard-coded into the warning message in the "terraform test" command, so as we continue to evolve this feature in future releases we'll need to update the callout note on the page about which Terraform CLI version it's currently talking about, so users of older versions can clearly see when they'd need to upgrade in order to participate in a later incarnation of the experiment.	5 years ago

Nick Fagerlund	8cfcd82be3	website: Language: Remove several ghost pages, update links During the language/CLI docs reorg, we noticed several pages that were no longer viable; some were redundant, some useless, and some just very obsolete. Since we were trying to avoid breaking links at the time, we opted to remove them from the navs and leave them as "ghost pages" — still accessible, but not findable. This commit finally cleans these ghosts up and updates any remaining links to relevant modern pages. Bustin' makes me feel good. 👻🚫	5 years ago
