A critical part of the partial update protocol is to return a structured
error when a resource is successfully created, but fails to initialize.
This structured error contains the properties of the
partially-initialized resource, and instructs the engine to halt.
Most languages implement this by attaching "details" to the error, i.e.,
an arbitrary proto message attached to the error. The JavaScript
implementation is not mature enough to include all the facilities
required to use this, so here we must add a `Status` message, which
protobuf requires as part of its structure for returning details.
The RPC provider interface needs a way to convey back to the engine
that a resource being read no longer exists. To do this, we'll return
the ID property that was read back. If it is empty, it means the
resource is gone. If it is non-empty, we expect it to match the input.
This change wires up the new Read RPC method in such a manner that
Pulumi programs can invoke it. This is technically not required for
refreshing state programmatically (as in pulumi/pulumi#1081), however
it's a feature we had eons ago and have wanted since (see
pulumi/pulumi#83), and will allow us to write code like
let vm = aws.ec2.Instance.get("my-vm", "i-07043cd97bd2c9cfc");
// use any property from here on out ...
The way this works is simply by bridging the Pulumi program via its
existing RPC connection to the engine, much like Invoke and
RegisterResource RPC requests already do, and then invoking the proper
resource provider in order to read the state. Note that some resources
cannot be uniquely identified by their ID alone, and so an extra
resource state bag may be provided with just those properties required.
This came almost for free (okay, not exactly) and will come in handy as
we start gaining experience with reading live state from resources.
This commit changes two things about our resource model:
* Stop performing Pulumi Engine-side diffing of resource state.
Instead, we defer to the resource plugins themselves to determine
whether a change was made and, if so, the extent of it. This
manifests as a simple change to the Diff function; it is done in
a backwards compatible way so that we continue with legacy diffing
for existing resource provider plugins.
* Add a Read RPC method for resource providers. It simply takes a
resource's ID and URN, plus an optional bag of further qualifying
state, and it returns the current property state as read back from
the actual live environment. Note that the optional bag of state
must at least include enough additional properties for resources
wherein the ID is insufficient for the provider to perform a lookup.
It may, however, include the full bag of prior state, for instance
in the case of a refresh operation.
This is part of pulumi/pulumi#1108.
* Improve the error message arising from missing required configs for
resource providers
If the resource provider that we are speaking to is new enough, it will send
across a list of keys and their descriptions alongside an error
indicating that the provider we are configuring is missing required
config. This commit packages up the list of missing keys into an error
that can be presented nicely to the user.
* Code review feedback: renaming simplification and correcting errors in comments
* Send structured errors across RPC boundaries
This brings us closer to gRPC best practices where we send structured
errors with error codes across RPC endpoints. The new "rpcerrors"
package can wrap errors from RPC endpoints, so RPC servers can attach
some additional context as to why a request failed.
* Code review feedback:
1. Rename rpcerrors -> rpcerror, better package name
2. Rename RPCError -> Error, RPCErrorCause -> ErrorCause, names
suggested by gometalinter to improve their package-qualified names
3. Fix import organization in rpcerror.go
This change includes a lot more functionality. Enough to actually
run the webserver-py example through previews, updates, and destroys!
* Actually wire up the gRPC connections to the engine/monitor.
* Move the Node.js and Python generated Protobuf/gRPC files underneath
the actual SDK directories to simplify this generally. No more
copying during `make` and, in fact, this was required to give a smoother
experience with good packages/modules for the Python's SDK development.
* Build the Python egg during `make build`.
* Add support for program stacks. Just like with the Node.js runtime,
we will auto-parent any resources without explicit parents to a single
top-level resource component.
* Add support for component resource output properties.
* Add get_project() and get_stack() functions for retrieving the current
project and stack names.
* Properly use UNKNOWN sentinels.
* Add a set_outputs() function on Resource. This is defined by the
code-generator and allows custom logic for output property setting.
This is cleaner than the way we do this in Node.js, and gives us a
way to ensure that output properties are "real" properties, complete
with member documentation. This also gives us a hook to perform
name demangling, which the code-generator typically controls anyway.
* Add package dependencies to setuptools.py and requirements.txt.
