Nick Fagerlund	9f85e6d5cc	website: Update configuration language section page titles	7 years ago
Nick Fagerlund	d2abdc23ac	website: Structural edit of configuration language docs ... This commit is a wide-ranging set of edits to the pages under /docs/configuration. Among other things, it - Separates style conventions out into their own page. - Separates type constraints and conversion info into their own page. - Conflates similar complex types a little more freely, since the distinction is only relevant when restricting inputs for a reusable module or resource. - Clarifies several concepts that confused me during edits.	7 years ago
Nick Fagerlund	7d5db9522f	website: Fix plugin path on Windows (#19423) ... ...and one other reference to the application data directory. Context: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/knownfolderid#folderid_roamingappdata In newer Windows versions, the folder accessible as `%APPDATA%` (and via various APIs) is actually at something like "documents and settings\user\application data\roaming", while earlier versions omit the "\roaming" part of the path. This means you can confuse people by referring to the "application data" directory by its human name, because "roaming" is the real application data directory, but it looks like a subdirectory of "application data". Thus, it's less confusing to just use the `%APPDATA%` variable, with the added benefit that you can copy and paste the path and it'll just work in most places.	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	a6cf796873	website: Revise the "Providers" configuration docs section ... These revisions reflect this sub-section's new earlier placement in the sub-section list, leading to a more guide-like style for the initial sections. Also includes some minor copy-editing to align terminology with that introduced in the prior commit for the "Resources" docs page.	8 years ago
Nick Fagerlund	b3935b29d7	website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading (#18973) ... website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading I'm attempting to keep things simple for normal users while making sure we've got the full behavior written down somewhere for plugin developers. This commit doesn't stand alone; it's paired with a commit in the terraform-website repo, to deal with some related content in the "extend" section.	8 years ago

Martin Atkins	3d33a36bf6	website: update terminology used in provider config docs ... The bulk of the text on this page hasn't been revised for some time and so parts of it were using non-idiomatic terminology or not defining terms at all. The main goal of this revision is to standardize on the following terms: - "provider configuration" refers to a specific provider block in config, as a distinct idea from the provider _itself_, which is a singleton. - "Default" vs. "additional" provider configurations, distinguishing those without and with "alias" arguments respectively. These are named here so that we can use this terminology to describe the different behaviors of each for the purposes of provider inheritance between modules.	9 years ago

James Bardin	da0e74276a	fix provider with local value test and docs ... Make sure this fails during destroy Add a note in the documentation that local values may fail during destroy.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	34956cd124	website: Document the plugin cache ... Since we don't currently auto-install provisioner plugins this is currently placed on the providers documentation page and referred to as the "Provider Plugin Cache". In future this mechanism may also apply to provisioners, in which case we'll figure out at that point where better to place this information so it can be referenced from both the provider and provisioner documentation pages.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	f19bf25945	website: don't recommend "providers" block in CLI config ... This mechanism for configuring plugins is now deprecated, since it's not capable of declaring plugin versions. Instead, we recommend just placing plugins into a particular directory, which is now documented on the main providers documentation page and linked from the more detailed docs on plugins in general.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	c5d8f2ffd2	website: clarify that provider version does not accept interpolations ... This fixes #15896.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	bb0e57fec1	website: explain how to upgrade providers ... Previously the -upgrade option was covered only on the "terraform init" usage page. It seems also worth mentioning in the main docs on provider versioning, since we're already explaining here other mechanics of the versioning/constraints system.	9 years ago
Martin Atkins	7ed70bb00e	website: new filesystem layout for core/provider split ... This repo now contains only the core docs, with other content moving elsewhere.	9 years ago
