- [sdk/nodejs] - Allow returning failures from Call in the provider without setting result outputs.
- [sdk/go] - Allow specifying Call failures from the provider.
- Add tests that return failures from Call.
Previously, any provider resource passed to multi-lang components would be instantiated as a `DependencyProviderResource` inside `Construct`, which prevents the component from being able to easily access the provider's state as an instance of of the provider (e.g. `*aws.Provider`).
This change attempts to rehydrate the provider resource in the same way that resource references are rehydrated, if it's been registered, s.t. the specific provider resource type is instantiated with its state. Otherwise falling back to returning `DependencyProviderResource`.
Adds initial support for resource methods (via a new `Call` gRPC method similar to `Invoke`), with support for authoring methods from Node.js, and calling methods from Python.
This change fixes the provider implementation of `Construct` for multi-lang components written in Node.js to wait for any in-flight RPCs to finish before returning the results, s.t. all registered child resources are created.
In additional, invocations of `construct` are now serialized so that each call runs one after another, avoiding concurrent runs, since `construct` modifies global state. We'll follow-up with a more general concurrency fix to allow nested `construct` calls within the same provider.
`log.error` will call the engine's `log` gRPC endpoint (if the engine is available; otherwise it will write to `console.error`) with `LogSeverity.ERROR`, which tell the engine to stop processing further resource operations.
Without this, any uncaught errors (such as input validation errors done inside `apply`) would be written to stderr, but wouldn't actually result in an update error.
These changes add initial support for the construction of remote
components. For now, this support is limited to the NodeJS SDK;
follow-up changes will implement support for the other SDKs.
Remote components are component resources that are constructed and
managed by plugins rather than by Pulumi programs. In this sense, they
are a bit like cloud resources, and are supported by the same
distribution and plugin loading mechanisms and described by the same
schema system.
The construction of a remote component is initiated by a
`RegisterResourceRequest` with the new `remote` field set to `true`.
When the resource monitor receives such a request, it loads the plugin
that implements the component resource and calls the `Construct`
method added to the resource provider interface as part of these
changes. This method accepts the information necessary to construct the
component and its children: the component's name, type, resource
options, inputs, and input dependencies. It is responsible for
dispatching to the appropriate component factory to create the
component, then returning its URN, resolved output properties, and
output property dependencies. The dependency information is necessary to
support features such as delete-before-replace, which rely on precise
dependency information for custom resources.
These changes also add initial support for more conveniently
implementing resource providers in NodeJS. The interface used to
implement such a provider is similar to the dynamic provider interface
(and may be unified with that interface in the future).
An example of a NodeJS program constructing a remote component resource
also implemented in NodeJS can be found in
`tests/construct_component/nodejs`.
This is the core of #2430.
