Martin Atkins	6a9f710b12	backend: Update interface and implementations for new config loader The new config loader requires some steps to happen in a different order, particularly in regard to knowing the schema in order to decode the configuration. Here we lean directly on the configschema package, rather than on helper/schema.Backend as before, because it's generally sufficient for our needs here and this prepares us for the helper/schema package later moving out into its own repository to seed a "plugin SDK".	8 years ago
Martin Atkins	0fe43c8977	cli: allow disabling "next steps" message in terraform plan In #15884 we adjusted the plan output to give an explicit command to run to apply a plan, whereas before this command was just alluded to in the prose. Since releasing that, we've got good feedback that it's confusing to include such instructions when Terraform is running in a workflow automation tool, because such tools usually abstract away exactly what commands are run and require users to take different actions to proceed through the workflow. To accommodate such environments while retaining helpful messages for normal CLI usage, here we introduce a new environment variable TF_IN_AUTOMATION which, when set to a non-empty value, is a hint to Terraform that it isn't being run in an interactive command shell and it should thus tone down the "next steps" messaging. The documentation for this setting is included as part of the "...in automation" guide since it's not generally useful in other cases. We also intentionally disclaim comprehensive support for this since we want to avoid creating an extreme number of "if running in automation..." codepaths that would increase the testing matrix and hurt maintainability. The focus is specifically on the output of the three commands we give in the automation guide, which at present means the following two situations: * "terraform init" does not include the final paragraphs that suggest running "terraform plan" and tell you in what situations you might need to re-run "terraform init". * "terraform plan" does not include the final paragraphs that either warn about not specifying "-out=..." or instruct to run "terraform apply" with the generated plan file.	9 years ago
Mitchell Hashimoto	3cedfa00f4	command: use backend.CLIIinit I made this interface way back with the original backend work and I guess I forgot to hook it up! This is becoming an issue as I'm working on our 2nd enhanced backend that requires this information and I realized it was hardcoded before. This propertly uses the CLIInit interface allowing any backend to gain access to this data.	9 years ago
Mitchell Hashimoto	8a070ddef0	backend: introduce the backend set of interfaces Backends are a mechanism that allow abstracting the behavior of Terraform CLI from the actual core. This allows us to slip in special behavior such as state loading, remote operations, etc.	9 years ago
