Martin Atkins	affe2c3295	addrs: Expose the registry address parser's error messages ... Previously we ended up losing all of the error message detail produced by the registry address parser, because we treated any registry address failure as cause to parse the address as a go-getter-style remote address instead. That led to terrible feedback in the situation where the user _was_ trying to write a module address but it was invalid in some way. Although we can't really tighten this up in the default case due to our compatibility promises, it's never been valid to use the "version" argument with anything other than a registry address and so as a compromise here we'll use the presence of "version" as a heuristic for user intent to parse the source address as a registry address, and thus we can return a registry-address-specific error message in that case and thus give more direct feedback about what was wrong. This unfortunately won't help someone trying to install from the registry _without_ a version constraint, but I didn't want to let perfect be the enemy of the good here, particularly since we recommend using version constraints with registry modules anyway; indeed, that's one of the main benefits of using a registry rather than a remote source directly.	4 years ago
Martin Atkins	17b766c3ea	configs: EntersNewPackage methods for descendant modules ... Now that we (in the previous commit) refactored how we deal with module sources to do the parsing at config loading time rather than at module installation time, we can expose a method to centralize the determination for whether a particular module call (and its resulting Config object) enters a new external package. We don't use this for anything yet, but in later commits we will use this for some cross-module features that are available only for modules belonging to the same package, because we assume that modules grouped together in a package can change together and thus it's okay to permit a little more coupling of internal details in that case, which would not be appropriate between modules that are versioned separately.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	1a8da65314	Refactoring of module source addresses and module installation ... It's been a long while since we gave close attention to the codepaths for module source address parsing and external module package installation. Due to their age, these codepaths often diverged from our modern practices such as representing address types in the addrs package, and encapsulating package installation details only in a particular location. In particular, this refactor makes source address parsing a separate step from module installation, which therefore makes the result of that parsing available to other Terraform subsystems which work with the configuration representation objects. This also presented the opportunity to better encapsulate our use of go-getter into a new package "getmodules" (echoing "getproviders"), which is intended to be the only part of Terraform that directly interacts with go-getter. This is largely just a refactor of the existing functionality into a new code organization, but there is one notable change in behavior here: the source address parsing now happens during configuration loading rather than module installation, which may cause errors about invalid addresses to be returned in different situations than before. That counts as backward compatible because we only promise to remain compatible with configurations that are _valid_, which means that they can be initialized, planned, and applied without any errors. This doesn't introduce any new error cases, and instead just makes a pre-existing error case be detected earlier. Our module registry client is still using its own special module address type from registry/regsrc for now, with a small shim from the new addrs.ModuleSourceRegistry type. Hopefully in a later commit we'll also rework the registry client to work with the new address type, but this commit is already big enough as it is.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	31349a9c3a	Move configs/ to internal/configs/ ... This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for internal use within Terraform only. If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some other way.	5 years ago
