Terraform: Add `experimental-deploy` and wire-in dependency inference #19185

lilatomic · 2023-05-29T03:41:55Z

This was actually some prework for lockfiles. But Terraform has some ideas about differences between a "root" module (one you would deploy) and other modules (ones which would be included in a deployment). To model that, I creating the TerraformDeployment target type. Once you have that, might as well wire it in to the experimental-deploy goal (especially since that's most of the value of Terraform).
Also it looks like we weren't fetching dependencies (on other modules) when building up the files to run Terraform commands. Now that happens.

I feel like I'm not being efficient in this MR with the way I bundle the (pants-inferred) dependencies together with everything, since there's this ever-growing ball of files. LMK if we've got a better way.

resolves #18491

lilatomic · 2023-05-29T04:51:47Z

One complication is that this requires that the check goal is run against only terraform_deployment targets. This is technically in line with what Terraform tolerates, as it is possible for a "non-root" module to have incomplete provider blocks which would be specified in a root module (hashicorp/terraform#28490). OTOH, many non-root modules will not experience this, so maybe we should work around the need for a backend config. Is there a way to get a field only if it exists on the FieldSet?

A few nits here and there. It would be great if we could align this with other usages of the experimental-deploy so end users find some familiarity

This looks like a good candidate to be part of the generate-lockfiles goal

I agree, I'm hoping to do that next.

Naming convention: In many backends, the more recent naming convention is FooRequest and FooResult. Although I see this code moved and I did not catch the naming issue before, :(

@Eric-Arellano: Thoughts here?

wait, seems terraform_modules are deployable. I'm not sure that's desireable, or really why that's happening. Probably too loose a fieldset?

smash together parts from Helm and Terraform check

…init logic

accommodates no Vars files and will not slurp in several conflicting ones

(request them and pass to processes)

This is technically more correct, since `terraform validate` may not be valid on all modules (since they don't have full provider blocks).

GetTerraformDependenciesRequest -> TerraformDependenciesRequest TerraformDependencies -> TerraformDependenciesResponse InitialisedTerraform -> TerraformInitResponse

Dependency listing doesn't work yet, since the root_module field is just a string field. I'm planning to do what the golang backend did for the GoBinaryMainPackageField, which is to have a separate dependency inference for go_binary which adds that.

alonsodomin · 2023-06-19T06:29:44Z

LGTM 👍

+    module_address = await Get(Address, AddressInput, address_input)


I would recommend inferring root_module to point at the terraform_module in the same directory if it is not specified. This is what go_binary does for the main field. (There should only be one terraform_module per directory so this inference should always work.)

But this is fine to be done as a follow-up.
