This improves the overall cloud CLI experience workflow.
Now whether a stack is local or cloud is inherent to the stack
itself. If you interact with a cloud stack, we transparently talk
to the cloud; if you interact with a local stack, we just do the
right thing, and perform all operations locally. Aside from sometimes
seeing a cloud emoji pop-up ☁️, the experience is quite similar.
For example, to initialize a new cloud stack, simply:
$ pulumi login
Logging into Pulumi Cloud: https://pulumi.com/
Enter Pulumi access token: <enter your token>
$ pulumi stack init my-cloud-stack
Note that you may log into a specific cloud if you'd like. For
now, this is just for our own testing purposes, but someday when we
support custom clouds (e.g., Enterprise), you can just say:
$ pulumi login --cloud-url https://corp.acme.my-ppc.net:9873
The cloud is now the default. If you instead prefer a "fire and
forget" style of stack, you can skip the login and pass `--local`:
$ pulumi stack init my-faf-stack --local
If you are logged in and run `pulumi`, we tell you as much:
$ pulumi
Usage:
pulumi [command]
// as before...
Currently logged into the Pulumi Cloud ☁️https://pulumi.com/
And if you list your stacks, we tell you which one is local or not:
$ pulumi stack ls
NAME LAST UPDATE RESOURCE COUNT CLOUD URL
my-cloud-stack 2017-12-01 ... 3 https://pulumi.com/
my-faf-stack n/a 0 n/a
And `pulumi stack` by itself prints information like your cloud org,
PPC name, and so on, in addition to the usuals.
I shall write up more details and make sure to document these changes.
This change also fairly significantly refactors the layout of cloud
versus local logic, so that the cmd/ package is resonsible for CLI
things, and the new pkg/backend/ package is responsible for the
backends. The following is the overall resulting package architecture:
* The backend.Backend interface can be implemented to substitute
a new backend. This has operations to get and list stacks,
perform updates, and so on.
* The backend.Stack struct is a wrapper around a stack that has
or is being manipulated by a Backend. It resembles our existing
Stack notions in the engine, but carries additional metadata
about its source. Notably, it offers functions that allow
operations like updating and deleting on the Backend from which
it came.
* There is very little else in the pkg/backend/ package.
* A new package, pkg/backend/local/, encapsulates all local state
management for "fire and forget" scenarios. It simply implements
the above logic and contains anything specific to the local
experience.
* A peer package, pkg/backend/cloud/, encapsulates all logic
required for the cloud experience. This includes its subpackage
apitype/ which contains JSON schema descriptions required for
REST calls against the cloud backend. It also contains handy
functions to list which clouds we have authenticated with.
* A subpackage here, pkg/backend/state/, is not a provider at all.
Instead, it contains all of the state management functions that
are currently shared between local and cloud backends. This
includes configuration logic -- including encryption -- as well
as logic pertaining to which stacks are known to the workspace.
This addresses pulumi/pulumi#629 and pulumi/pulumi#494.
Previously, we were inconsistent on how we handled argument validation
in the CLI. Many commands used cobra.Command's Args property to
provide a validator if they took arguments, but commands which did not
rarely used cobra.NoArgs to indicate this.
This change does two things:
1. Introduce `cmdutil.ArgsFunc` which works like `cmdutil.RunFunc`, it
wraps an existing cobra type and lets us control the behavior when an
arguments validator fails.
2. Ensure every command sets the Args property with an instance of
cmdutil.ArgsFunc. The cmdutil package defines wrapers for all the
cobra validators we are using, to prevent us from having to spell out
`cmduitl.ArgsFunc(...)` everywhere.
Fixes#588
This change introduces an abstraction for a `backend` which manages
the implementation of some CLI commands. As part of defining the
interface, we introduce a new local backend implementation that just
uses data local to the machine.
This will let us share argument parsing and some display information
between the local case and the pulumi.com case in the CLI. We can
continue to refine this interface over time (e.g. today we have the
implementation of the Destroy/Update/Preview actually writing output
but instead they should be returning strongly typed data that the CLI
knows how to display and is unified across Pulumi.com deploys and
local deploys).
But this is a good first step.
We now encrypt secrets at rest based on a key derived from a user
suplied passphrase.
The system is designed in a way such that we should be able to have a
different decrypter (either using a local key or some remote service
in the Pulumi.com case in the future).
Care is taken to ensure that we do not leak decrypted secrets into the
"info" section of the checkpoint file (since we currently store the
config there).
In addtion, secrets are "pay for play", a passphrase is only needed
when dealing with a value that's encrypted. If secure config values
are not used, `pulumi` will never prompt you for a
passphrase. Otherwise, we only prompt if we know we are going to need
to decrypt the value. For example, `pulumi config <key>` only prompts
if `<key>` is encrypted and `pulumi deploy` and friends only prompt if
you are targeting a stack that has secure configuration assoicated
with it.
Secure values show up as unecrypted config values inside the language
hosts and providers.
The event diagnostic goroutines could error out sometimes during
early program exits, due to a race between the goroutine writing to
the channel and the early exiting goroutine which closed the channel.
This change stops closing the channels entirely on the abrupt exit
paths, since it's not necessary and we want to exit immediately.
I sometimes revert back to some ancient version of the system, and
I figure with so many other tools using different verbs here, it's
worth at least improving our help text with the SuggestFors.
The change to use a Goroutine for pumping output causes a hang
when an error occurs. This is because we unconditionally block
on the <-done channel, even though the failure means the done
will actually never occur. This changes the logic to only wait
on the channel if we successfully began the operation in question.
Previously we used the word "Environment" as the term for a deployment
target, but since then we've started to use the term Stack. Adopt this
across the CLI.
From a user's point of view, there are a few changes:
1. The `env` verb has been renamed to `stack`
2. The `-e` and `--env` options to commands which operate on an
environment now take `-s` or `--stack` instead.
3. Becase of (2), the commands that used `-s` to display a summary now
only support passing the full option name (`--summary`).
On the local file system, we still store checkpoint data in the `env`
sub-folder under `.pulumi` (so we can reuse existing checkpoint files
that were written to the old folder)
Previously, the engine would write to io.Writer's to display output.
When hosted in `pulumi` these writers were tied to os.Stdout and
os.Stderr, but other applications hosting the engine could send them
other places (e.g. a log to be sent to an another application later).
While much better than just using the ambient streams, this was still
not the best. It would be ideal if the engine could just emit strongly
typed events and whatever is hosting the engine could care about
displaying them.
As a first step down that road, we move to a model where operations on
the engine now take a `chan engine.Event` and during the course of the
operation, events are written to this channel. It is the
responsibility of the caller of the method to read from the channel
until it is closed (singifying that the operation is complete).
The events we do emit are still intermingle presentation with data,
which is unfortunate, but can be improved over time. Most of the
events today are just colorized in the client and printed to stdout or
stderr without much thought.
Previously, you could pass an explicit path to a Pulumi program when
running preview or update and the tool would use that program when
planning or deploying, but continue to write state in the cwd. While
being able to operate on a specific package without having to cd'd all
over over the place is nice, this specific implemntation was a little
scary because it made it easier to run two different programs with the
same local state (e.g config and checkpoints) which would lead to
surprising results.
Let's move to a model that some tools have where you can pass a
working directory and the tool chdir's to that directory before
running. This way any local state that is stored will be stored
relative to the package we are operating on instead of whatever the
current working directory is.
Fixes#398
Previously, the engine was concered with maintaing information about
the currently active environment. Now, the CLI is in charge of
this. As part of this change, the engine can now assume that every
environment has a non empty name (and I've added asserts on the
entrypoints of the engine API to ensure that any consumer of the
engine passes a non empty environment name)
