Martin Atkins	4d52999538	lang: EvalBlock should use ReferencesInBlock ... 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.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	87786484ea	lang/eval: Apply attr-as-nested-block fixup in EvalBlock ... For any block content we evaluate dynamically via this API, we'll make a special allowance for users to optionally write members of a list attribute instead as a sequence of nested blocks, thus allowing some existing provider features that were assuming this capability to continue to support it after v0.12. This should not be used for any new provider features, and should ideally be eventually phased out so that there aren't two similar-but-slightly-different syntaxes for saying the same thing.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	838a42d218	vendor: go get github.com/hashicorp/hcl2@master ... This includes improved functionality for HCL's "dynamic block extension", which will allow us (in a subsequent commit) to properly detect dependencies inside nested "dynamic" blocks, where currently they get missed. For this commit though, we just upgrade HCL to a version that includes it and make a small change to our "lang" package to align with an upstream renaming.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	2be524d6ac	core: Validate depends_on and ignore_changes traversals ... Both depends_on and ignore_changes contain references to objects that we can validate. Historically Terraform has not validated these, instead just ignoring references to non-existent objects. Since there is no reason to refer to something that doesn't exist, we'll now verify this and return errors so that users get explicit feedback on any typos they may have made, rather than just wondering why what they added seems to have no effect. This is particularly important for ignore_changes because users have historically used strange values here to try to exploit the fact that Terraform was resolving ignore_changes against a flatmap. This will give them explicit feedback for any odd constructs that the configuration upgrade tool doesn't know how to detect and fix.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	e63a1dfb96	lang: EvalExpr only convert if wantType is not dynamic ... This actually seems to be a bug in the underlying cty Convert function since converting to cty.DynamicPseudoType should always just return the input verbatim, but it seems like it's actually converting unknown values of any type to be cty.DynamicVal, losing the type information. We should eventually fix this in cty too, but having this extra check in the Terraform layer is harmless and allows us to make progress without context-switching.	7 years ago
Martin Atkins	3b49028b77	core: Static-validate resource references against schemas ... In the initial move to HCL2 we started relying only on full expression evaluation to catch attribute errors, but that's not sufficient for resource attributes in practice because during validation we can't know yet whether a resource reference evaluates to a single object or to a list of objects (if count is set). To address this, here we reinstate some static validation of resource references by analyzing directly the reference objects, disregarding any instance index if present, and produce errors if the remaining subsequent traversal steps do not correspond to items within the resource type schema. This also allows us to produce some more specialized error messages for certain situations. In particular, we can recognize a reference like aws_instance.foo.count, which in 0.11 and prior was a weird special case for determining the count value of a resource block, and offer a helpful error showing the new length(aws_instance.foo) usage pattern. This eventually delegates to the static traversal validation logic that was added to the configschema package in a previous commit, which also includes some specialized error messages that distinguish between attributes and block types in the schema so that the errors relate more directly to constructs the user can see in the configuration. In future we could potentially move more of the checks from the dynamic schema construction step to the static validation step, but resources are the reference type that most needs this immediately due to the ambiguity caused by the instance indexing syntax. We can safely refactor other reference types to be statically validated in later releases. This is verified by two pre-existing context validate tests which we temporarily disabled during earlier work (now re-enabled) and also by a new validate test aimed specifically at the special case for the "count" attribute.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	479c6b2466	move "configschema" from "config" to "configs" ... The "config" package is no longer used and will be removed as part of the 0.12 release cleanup. Since configschema is part of the "new world" of configuration modelling, it makes more sense for it to live as a subdirectory of the newer "configs" package.	8 years ago
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.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	a16ca2ec53	lang: new package for the runtime parts of the config language ... Whereas package "configs" deals with the static structure of the configuration language, this new package "lang" deals with the dynamic aspects such as expression evaluation. So far this mainly consists of populating a hcl.EvalContext that contains the values necessary to evaluate a block or an expression. There is also special handling here for dynamic block generation using the HCL "dynblock" extension, which is exposed in the public interface (rather than hiding it as an implementation detail of EvalBlock) so that the caller can then extract proper source locations for any result values using the expanded body. This also includes the beginnings of a replacement for the function table handling that currently lives in the old "config" package, but most of the functions are not yet ported and so this will expand in subsequent commits.	8 years ago
