Martin Atkins	b88e29e473	configs: Show tailored message for optional attrs experiment ... Since we've both concluded the module_variables_optional_attrs experiment and made experiments available only in alpha releases in the same minor release, we accidentally made the more general message about experiments not being available mask the specific message about the experiment being concluded. In order to give better feedback to those who were participating in the experiment in earlier Terraform releases, we'll retain a minimal exception to our checks to allow the "experiment has concluded" error message to shine through if and only if that is the only selected experiment.	4 years ago
Martin Atkins	fda0579537	Experiments supported only in alpha/dev builds ... We originally introduced the idea of language experiments as a way to get early feedback on not-yet-proven feature ideas, ideally as part of the initial exploration of the solution space rather than only after a solution has become relatively clear. Unfortunately, our tradeoff of making them available in normal releases behind an explicit opt-in in order to make it easier to participate in the feedback process had the unintended side-effect of making it feel okay to use experiments in production and endure the warnings they generate. This in turn has made us reluctant to make use of the experiments feature lest experiments become de-facto production features which we then feel compelled to preserve even though we aren't yet ready to graduate them to stable features. In an attempt to tweak that compromise, here we make the availability of experiments _at all_ a build-time flag which will not be set by default, and therefore experiments will not be available in most release builds. The intent (not yet implemented in this PR) is for our release process to set this flag only when it knows it's building an alpha release or a development snapshot not destined for release at all, which will therefore allow us to still use the alpha releases as a vehicle for giving feedback participants access to a feature (without needing to install a Go toolchain) but will not encourage pretending that these features are production-ready before they graduate from experimental. Only language experiments have an explicit framework for dealing with them which outlives any particular experiment, so most of the changes here are to that generalized mechanism. However, the intent is that non-language experiments, such as experimental CLI commands, would also in future check Meta.AllowExperimentalFeatures and gate the use of those experiments too, so that we can be consistent that experimental features will never be available unless you explicitly choose to use an alpha release or a custom build from source code. Since there are already some experiments active at the time of this commit which were not previously subject to this restriction, we'll pragmatically leave those as exceptions that will remain generally available for now, and so this new approach will apply only to new experiments started in the future. Once those experiments have all concluded, we will be left with no more exceptions unless we explicitly choose to make an exception for some reason we've not imagined yet. It's important that we be able to write tests that rely on experiments either being available or not being available, so here we're using our typical approach of making "package main" deal with the global setting that applies to Terraform CLI executables while making the layers below all support fine-grain selection of this behavior so that tests with different needs can run concurrently without trampling on one another. As a compromise, the integration tests in the terraform package will run with experiments enabled _by default_ since we commonly need to exercise experiments in those tests, but they can selectively opt-out if they need to by overriding the loader setting back to false again.	4 years ago

Martin Atkins	9076400436	configs: Decode preconditions and postconditions ... This allows precondition and postcondition checks to be declared for resources and output values as long as the preconditions_postconditions experiment is enabled. Terraform Core doesn't currently know anything about these features, so as of this commit declaring them does nothing at all.	4 years ago
Martin Atkins	94cbc8fb5d	experiments: config_driven_move has concluded ... Based on feedback during earlier alpha releases, we've decided to move forward with the current design for the first phase of config-driven refactoring. Therefore here we've marked the experiment as concluded with no changes to the most recent incarnation of the functionality. The other changes here are all just updating test fixtures to no longer declare that they are using experimental features.	5 years ago
James Bardin	53a73a8ab6	configs: add ConstraintType to config.Variable ... In order to handle optional attributes, the Variable type needs to keep track of the type constraint for decoding and conversion, as well as the concrete type for creating values and type comparison. Since the Type field is referenced throughout the codebase, and for future refactoring if the handling of optional attributes changes significantly, the constraint is now loaded into an entirely new field called ConstraintType. This prevents types containing ObjectWithOptionalAttrs from escaping the decode/conversion codepaths into the rest of the codebase.	5 years ago
Alisdair McDiarmid	06956773dc	configs: Disable experiment warnings at link time ... This package level variable can be overridden at link time to allow temporarily disabling the UI warning when experimental features are enabled. This makes it easier to understand how UI will render when the feature is no longer experimental. This change is only for those developing Terraform.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	6b8e103d6a	configs: Include "moved" blocks when merging multiple files into a module ... An earlier commit added logic to decode "moved" blocks and do static validation of them. Here we now include that result also in modules produced from those files, which we can then use in Terraform Core to actually implement the moves. This also places the feature behind an active experiment keyword called config_driven_move. For now activating this doesn't actually achieve anything except let you include moved blocks that Terraform will summarily ignore, but we'll expand the scope of this in later commits to eventually reach the point where it's really usable.	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
