Martin Atkins	c60dd7c783	command: Improve consistency of the command short descriptions ... The short description of our commands (as shown in the main help output from "terraform") was previously very inconsistent, using different tense/mood for different commands. Some of the commands were also using some terminology choices inconsistent with how we currently talk about the related ideas in our documentation. Here I've tried to add some consistency by first rewriting them all in the imperative mood (except the ones that just are just subcommand groupings), and tweaking some of the terminology to hopefully gel better with how we present similar ideas in our recently-updated docs. While working on this I inevitably spotted some similar inconsistencies in the longer-form help output of some of the commands. I've not reviewed all of these for consistency, but I did update some where the wording was either left inconsstent with the short form changes I'd made or where the prose stood out to me as particularly inconsistent with our current usual documentation language style. All of this is subjective, so I expect we'll continue to tweak these over time as we continue to develop our documentation writing style based on user questions and feedback.	6 years ago
Alisdair McDiarmid	67203dade8	command: Simplify Meta.process helper method ... After some refactoring, this helper method had an unused argument (vars) and an always-nil error return value. This commit cleans this up.	6 years ago
Martin Atkins	8664749b59	backend: Allow certain commands to opt out of required variable checks ... Terraform Core expects all variables to be set, but for some ancillary commands it's fine for them to just be set to placeholders because the variable values themselves are not key to the command's functionality as long as the terraform.Context is still self-consistent. For such commands, rather than prompting for interactive input for required variables we'll just stub them out as unknowns to reflect that they are placeholders for values that a user would normally need to provide. This achieves a similar effect to how these commands behaved before, but without the tendency to produce a slightly invalid terraform.Context that would fail in strange ways when asked to run certain operations.	7 years ago
Kristin Laemmert	c9d62bb2f6	command: discard output from flags package and return errs directly (#22373) ... Any command using meta.defaultFlagSet *might* occasionally exit before the flag package's output got written. This caused flag error messages to get lost. This PR discards the flag package output in favor of directly returning the error to the end user.	7 years ago
