Martin Atkins	879899d434	plugin/discovery: plugin caching mechanism ... For users that have metered or slow internet connections it is annoying to have Terraform constantly re-downloading the same files when they initialize many separate directories. To help such users, here we add an opt-in mechanism to use a local directory as a read-through cache. When enabled, any plugin download will be skipped if a suitable file already exists in the cache directory. If the desired plugin isn't in the cache, it will be downloaded into the cache for use next time. This mechanism also serves to reduce total disk usage by allowing plugin files to be shared between many configurations, as long as the target system isn't Windows and supports either hardlinks or symlinks.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	ac250d2792	plugin/discovery: trim off .exe suffix when parsing filenames ... On Windows systems the plugin binaries use a .exe suffix, which we were misparsing as part of either the "v" or "x" parts of the filename. This fixes #15578.	9 years ago

Martin Atkins	a94e9a4362	plugin/discovery: find plugins in a given set of directories ... For now this supports both our old and new directory layouts, so we can preserve compatibility with existing configurations until a future major release where support for the old paths will be removed. Currently this allows both styles in all given directories, which means we support more variants than we actually intend to but this is accepted to keep the interface simple such that we can easily remove the legacy exception later. The documentation will reflect only the subset of path layouts that we actually intend to support.	9 years ago
