Martin Atkins	05caff2ca3	Move tfdiags/ to internal/tfdiags/ ... 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
Martin Atkins	7f78342953	command: Experimental "terraform test" command ... This is just a prototype to gather some feedback in our ongoing research on integration testing of Terraform modules. The hope is that by having a command integrated into Terraform itself it'll be easier for interested module authors to give it a try, and also easier for us to iterate quickly based on feedback without having to coordinate across multiple codebases. Everything about this is subject to change even in future patch releases. Since it's a CLI command rather than a configuration language feature it's not using the language experiments mechanism, but generates a warning similar to the one language experiments generate in order to be clear that backward compatibility is not guaranteed.	5 years ago
Martin Atkins	8330f8e991	internal/moduletest: Experimental module testing helpers ... As part of ongoing research into Terraform testing we'd like to use an experimental feature to validate our current understanding that expressing tests as part of the Terraform language, as opposed to in some other language run alongside, is a good and viable way to write practical module integration tests. This initial experimental incarnation of that idea is implemented as a provider, just because that's an easier extension point for research purposes than a first-class language feature would be. Whether this would ultimately emerge as a provider similar to this or as custom language constructs will be a matter for future research, if this first experiment confirms that tests written in the Terraform language are the best direction to take. The previous incarnation of this experiment was an externally-developed provider apparentlymart/testing, listed on the Terraform Registry. That helped with showing that there are some useful tests that we can write in the Terraform language, but integrating such a provider into Terraform will allow us to make use of it in the also-experimental "terraform test" command, which will follow in subsequent commits, to see how this might fit into a development workflow.	5 years ago
