- Do not require replacement of dynamic resources due to provider
changes. This is not necessary, and is almost certainly the wrong
thing to do if the dynamic provider is managing a physical resource.
- Return all inputs by default from a dynamic provider's check method.
Currently a dynamic provider that does not implement check will end up
receiving no inputs. This is confusing, and is not the correct default.
* Validate type tokens before using them
When registering or reading a resource, we take the type token given to
us from the language host and assume that it's valid, which resulted in
assertion failures in various places in the engine. This commit
validates the format of type tokens given to us from the language host
and issues an appropriate error if it's not valid.
Along the way, this commit also improves the way that fatal exceptions
are rendered in the Node language host.
* Pre-allocate an exception for ReadResource
* Fix integration test
* CR Feedback
This commit is a lower-impact change that fixes the bugs associated with
invalid types on component resources and only checks that a type is
valid on custom resources.

Instead of trying to probe for the normal path ourselves, just use
node's `require.resolve` statement to find `@pulumi/pulumi/cmd/run`.
This allows run to be found in cases where either yarn workspaces are
used, or the module has been installed globally.
Part of #1868
Node calls 'exit' event callbacks when a process is preparing to exit,
via process.exit or otherwise, but it does not execute the next callback
in the chain if a callback calls process.exit.
If a `tsconfig.json` file is not present at the root of the Pulumi
project, ts-node will look up the directory tree to see if there is
one. If there is, it will treat that as the root of the project. While
reasonable for some cases, this isn't the behavior we want for our use
of ts-node. We actually set compiler options such that in the common
case you don't even need a `tsconfig.json` and for pure JavaScript
projects, there wouldn't be a `tsconfig.json` file.
In both of these cases, there's a big foot-gun waiting. For example in
pulumi/pulumi#1772 we ran into a case where there was a tsconfig.json
file in $HOME, causing the entirety of $HOME to be analyzed by
TypeScript which made it look like Pulumi hung.
To address this, tell ts-node to not use a project in cases where
there is not a `tsconfig.json` at the root of the project.
Fixes#1772
* Fix an issue with NodeJS host logging
Related to pulumi/pulumi#1694. This issue prevented the language host
from being aware that an engine (logging endpoint) was available and
thus no log messages were sent to the engine. By default, the language
host wrote them to standard out instead, which resulted in a pretty bad
error experience.
This commit fixes the PR and adds machinery to the NodeJS langhost tests
for testing the engine RPC endpoint. It is now possible to give a "log"
function to tests which will be hooked up to the "log" RPC endpoint
normally provided by the Pulumi engine.
* Remove accidental console.log
Replace the Source-based implementation of refresh with a phase that
runs as the first part of plan execution and rewrites the snapshot in-memory.
In order to fit neatly within the existing framework for resource operations,
these changes introduce a new kind of step, RefreshStep, to represent
refreshes. RefreshSteps operate similar to ReadSteps but do not imply that
the resource being read is not managed by Pulumi.
In addition to the refresh reimplementation, these changes incorporate those
from #1394 to run refresh in the integration test framework.
Fixes#1598.
Fixespulumi/pulumi-terraform#165.
Contributes to #1449.
The plugin host can ask the language host to provide a list of
resource plugins that it thinks will be nessecary for use at
deployment time, so they can be eagerly loaded.
In NodeJS (the only language host that implements this RPC) This works
by walking the directory tree rooted at the CWD of the project,
looking for package.json files, parsing them and seeing it they have
some marker property set. If they do, we add information about them
which we return at the end of our walk.
If there is *any* error, the entire operation fails. We've seen a
bunch of cases where this happens:
- Broken symlinks written by some editors as part of autosave.
- Access denied errors when part of the tree is unwalkable (Eric ran
into this on Windows when he had a Pulumi program at the root of his
file system.
- Recusive symlinks leading to errors when trying to walk down the
infinite chain. (See #1634 for one such example).
The very frustrating thing about this is that when you hit an error
its not clear what is going on and fixing it can be non-trivial. Even
worse, in the normal case, all of these plugins are already installed
and could be loaded by the host (in the common case, plugins are
installed as a post install step when you run `npm install`) so if we
simply didn't do this check at all, things would work great.
This change does two things:
1. It does not stop at the first error we hit when discovering
plugins, instead we just record the error and continue.
2. Does not fail the overall operation if there was an error. Instead,
we return to the host what we have, which may be an incomplete view
of the world. We glog the errors we did discover for diagnostics if
we ever need them.
I believe that long term most of this code gets deleted anyway. I
expect we will move to a model long term where the engine faults in
the plugin (downloading it if needed) when a request for the plugin
arrives. But for now, we shouldn't block normal operations just
because we couldn't answer a question with full fidelity.
Fixes#1478
The pulumi runtime used to lazily load and parse both config and
settings data set by the language host. The initial reason for this
design was that we wanted the runtime to be usable in a normal node
environment, but we have moved away from supporting that.
In addition, while we claimed we loaded these value "lazily", we
actually forced their loading quite eagerly when we started
up. However, when capturing config (or settings, as we now do), we
would capture all the logic about loading these values from the
environment.
Even worse, in the case where you had two copies of @pulumi/pulumi
loaded, it would be possible to capture a config object which was not
initialized and then at runtime the initialization logic would try to
read PULUMI_CONFIG from the process environment and fail.
So we adopt a new model where configuration and settings are parsed as
we load their containing modules. In addition, to support SxS
scinerios, we continue to use `process.env` as a way to control both
configuration and settings. This means that `run.ts` must now ensure
that these values are present in the environment before either the
config or runtime modules have been loaded.
Set the following compiler defaults:
```
"target": "es6",
"module": "commonjs",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
```
Which allows us to not even include a tsconfig.json file. If one is
present, `ts-node` will use its options, but the above settings will
override any settings in a local tsconfig.json file. This means if you
want full control over the target, you'll need to go back to the raw
tsc workflow where you explicitly build ahead of time.
This change lets us set runtime specific options in Pulumi.yaml, which
will flow as arguments to the language hosts. We then teach the nodejs
host that when the `typescript` is set to `true` that it should load
ts-node before calling into user code. This allows using typescript
natively without an explicit compile step outside of Pulumi.
This works even when a tsconfig.json file is not present in the
application and should provide a nicer inner loop for folks writing
typescript (I'm pretty sure everyone has run into the "but I fixed
that bug! Why isn't it getting picked up? Oh, I forgot to run tsc"
problem.
Fixes#958
When a resource fails to initialize (i.e., it is successfully created,
but fails to transition to a fully-initialized state), and a user
subsequently runs `pulumi update` without changing that resource, our
CLI will fail to warn the user that this resource is not initialized.
This commit begins the process of allowing our CLI to report this by
storing a list of initialization errors in the checkpoint.
This commit adds CLI support for resource providers to provide partial
state upon failure. For resource providers that model resource
operations across multiple API calls, the Provider RPC interface can now
accomodate saving bags of state for resource operations that failed.
This is a common pattern for Terraform-backed providers that try to do
post-creation steps on resource as part of Create or Update resource
operations.
* Delete Before Create
This commit implements the full semantics of delete before create. If a
resource is replaced and requires deletion before creation, the engine
will use the dependency graph saved in the snapshot to delete all
resources that depend on the resource being replaced prior to the
deletion of the resource to be replaced.

This changes two primary things about dynamic providers:
1) Always echo back the __provider upon read, even if there is a
missing read function on the dynamic provider. In fact, return
the full input state in that case.
2) Store the __provider in the output state of the dynamic resource,
in addition to the input state. My recollection of the "model"
discussion we had weeks ago was that the output properties are
mean to capture the state of a resource in its entirety; not having
this meant that refresh would marshal the outputs only, and find
on the other side of the RPC boundary that __provider was missing.
Note that an alternative to the latter fix would be to use some hybrid
of input and output state, as we used to do, by merging property maps.
These changes enable tracing of Pulumi API calls.
The span with which to associate an API call is passed via a
`context.Context` parameter. This required plumbing a
`context.Context` parameter through a rather large number of APIs,
especially in the backend.
In general, all API calls are associated with a new root span that
exists for essentially the entire lifetime of an invocation of the
Pulumi CLI. There were a few places where the plumbing got a bit hairier
than I was willing to address with these changes; I've used
`context.Background()` in these instances. API calls that receive this
context will create new root spans, but will still be traced.
Instead of using a shell script to jump from the language host into
node, just invoke node directly. This makes our start-up path a little
simpler to understand and indirectly fixespulumi/home#156, where we
would fail on Windows if the `-exec` script was in a folder that had
spaces in it (due to a subtle interaction between how go launches cmd
files and how cmd.exe parses arguments).
This change moves us away from using JavaScript RTTI, by way of
`instanceof`, for built-in Pulumi types. If we use `instanceof`,
then the same logical type loaded from separate copies of the
SDK package -- as will happen in SxS scenarios -- are considered
different. This isn't actually what we want. The solution is
simple: implement our own quasi-RTTI solution, using __pulumi*
properties and manual as* and is* functions. Note that we could
have skipped the as* and is* functions, but I found that they led
to slightly easier to read code.
There is one strange thing in here, which I spoke to
@CyrusNajmabadi about: SerializedOutput<T>, because it implements
Output<T> as an _interface_, did not previously masquerade as an
actual Output<T>. In other words, `instanceof` would have returned
false, and indeed a few important properties (like promise) are
missing. This change preserves that behavior, although I'll admit
that this is slightly odd. I suspect we'll want to revisit this as
part of https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1074.
Fixes https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1203.
Prior to this change, if you ended up with multiple Pulumi SDK
packages loaded side-by-side, we would fail in obscure ways. The
reason for this was that we initialize and store important state
in static variables. In the case that you load the same library
twice, however, you end up with separate copies of said statics,
which means we would be missing engine RPC addresses and so on.
This change adds the ability to recover from this situation by
mirroring the initialized state in process-wide environment
variables. By doing this, we can safely recover simply by reading
them back when we detect that they are missing. I think we can
eventually go even further here, and eliminate the entry point
launcher shim altogether by simply having the engine launch the
Node program with the right environment variables. This would
be a nice simplification to the system (fewer moving pieces).
There is still a risk that the separate copy is incompatible.
Presumably the reason for loading multiple copies is that the
NPM/Yarn version solver couldn't resolve to a shared version.
This may yield obscure failure modes should RPC interfaces change.
Figuring out what to do here is part of pulumi/pulumi#957.
This fixespulumi/pulumi#777 and pulumi/pulumi#1017.
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.
We need to support the current version of the nodejs language host
running programs that use older version of @pulumi/pulumi where the
runtime expected config keys to look like
`<package>:config:<name>`. In the language host we actually did the
transformation from the new format to the old one, for compatability
reasons but we then droped the transfomed value on the floor.
This API was introduced to aid the refactoring, but it isn't something
we want to support long term. Remove it and for a few places, push
passing config.Key around more, instead of converting to the old type
eagerly.
We now unify new Config("package") and new Config("package:config"),
printing a warning when the new Config("package:config") form is
used and pointing consumers towards just new Config("package")
I've updated our examples to use the newer syntax, but I've added a
test ot the langhost to ensure both forms work.
Fixes#923
* Produce better error messages when the main module is not found
If we fail to load a program's main module, inspect the program's
package.json and attempt to diagnose why the main module load failed.
* Code review feedback: entrypoint -> entry point, call out npm build explicitly, simplify control flow
* Code review feedback: add a little more levity to the unknown exception error message
On Windows, when we launch the language host, it will end up with
a ".exe" file extension at the end of os.Args[0]. This leads us to
produce a garbage filename for the -exec script -- namely,
pulumi-language-nodejs.exe-exec -- which, of course fails. We simply
need to trim off the ".exe" bit before producing the script name.
We have had a long-standing bug in here where we waiting on a
stdout channel that never got populated, when the language plugin
fails to load entirely. This would lead to hung processes. The
fix is simple: only wait for stdout/stderr channels to drain that
have actually been wired up to enjoy the requisite signaling.
This adds support for two things:
* Installing all plugins that a project requires with a single command:
$ pulumi plugin install
* Listing the plugins that this project requires:
$ pulumi plugin ls --project
$ pulumi plugin ls -p
This brings back the Node.js language plugin's GetRequiredPlugins
function, reimplemented in Go now that the language host has been
rewritten from JavaScript. Fairly rote translation, along with
some random fixes required to get tests passing again.
This change adds a GetRequiredPlugins RPC method to the language
host, enabling us to query it for its list of plugin requirements.
This is language-specific because it requires looking at the set
of dependencies (e.g., package.json files).
It also adds a call up front during any update/preview operation
to compute the set of plugins and require that they are present.
These plugins are populated in the cache and will be used for all
subsequent plugin-related operations during the engine's activity.
We now cache the language plugins, so that we may load them
eagerly too, which we never did previously due to the fact that
we needed to pass the monitor address at load time. This was a
bit bizarre anyhow, since it's really the Run RPC function that
needs this information. So, to enable caching and eager loading
-- which we need in order to invoke GetRequiredPlugins -- the
"phone home" monitor RPC address is passed at Run time.
In a subsequent change, we will switch to faulting in the plugins
that are missing -- rather than erroring -- in addition to
supporting the `pulumi plugin install` CLI command.

As documented in issue #616, the inputs/defaults/outputs model we have
today has fundamental problems. The crux of the issue is that our
current design requires that defaults present in the old state of a
resource are applied to the new inputs for that resource.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for the engine to decide which
defaults remain applicable and which do not; only the provider has that
knowledge.
These changes take a more tactical approach to resolving this issue than
that originally proposed in #616 that avoids breaking compatibility with
existing checkpoints. Rather than treating the Pulumi inputs as the
provider input properties for a resource, these inputs are first
translated by `Check`. In order to accommodate provider defaults that
were chosen for the old resource but should not change for the new,
`Check` now takes the old provider inputs as well as the new Pulumi
inputs. Rather than the Pulumi inputs and provider defaults, the
provider inputs returned by `Check` are recorded in the checkpoint file.
Put simply, these changes remove defaults as a first-class concept
(except inasmuch as is required to retain the ability to read old
checkpoint files) and move the responsibilty for manging and
merging defaults into the provider that supplies them.
Fixes#616.
This change adds a new manifest section to the checkpoint files.
The existing time moves into it, and we add to it the version of
the Pulumi CLI that created it, along with the names, types, and
versions of all plugins used to generate the file. There is a
magic cookie that we also use during verification.
This is to help keep us sane when debugging problems "in the wild,"
and I'm sure we will add more to it over time (checksum, etc).
For example, after an up, you can now see this in `pulumi stack`:
```
Current stack is demo:
Last updated at 2017-12-01 13:48:49.815740523 -0800 PST
Pulumi version v0.8.3-79-g1ab99ad
Plugin pulumi-provider-aws [resource] version v0.8.3-22-g4363e77
Plugin pulumi-langhost-nodejs [language] version v0.8.3-79-g77bb6b6
Checkpoint file is /Users/joeduffy/dev/code/src/github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/.pulumi/stacks/webserver/demo.json
```
This addresses pulumi/pulumi#628.
This change switches from child lists to parent pointers, in the
way resource ancestries are represented. This cleans up a fair bit
of the old parenting logic, including all notion of ambient parent
scopes (and will notably address pulumi/pulumi#435).
This lets us show a more parent/child display in the output when
doing planning and updating. For instance, here is an update of
a lambda's text, which is logically part of a cloud timer:
* cloud:timer:Timer: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud:☁️timer:Timer::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
* cloud:function:Function: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud:☁️function:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
* aws:serverless:Function: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud::aws:serverless:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
~ aws:lambda/function:Function: (modify)
[id=lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots-fee4f3bf41280741]
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud::aws:lambda/function:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
- code : archive(assets:2092f44) {
// etc etc etc
Note that we still get walls of text, but this will be actually
quite nice when combined with pulumi/pulumi#454.
I've also suppressed printing properties that didn't change during
updates when --detailed was not passed, and also suppressed empty
strings and zero-length arrays (since TF uses these as defaults in
many places and it just makes creation and deletion quite verbose).
Note that this is a far cry from everything we can possibly do
here as part of pulumi/pulumi#340 (and even pulumi/pulumi#417).
But it's a good start towards taming some of our output spew.
Adds support for top-level exports in the main script of a Pulumi Program to be captured as stack-level output properties.
This create a new `pulumi:pulumi:Stack` component as the root of the resource tree in all Pulumi programs. That resources has properties for each top-level export in the Node.js script.
Running `pulumi stack` will display the current value of these outputs.
Because the Pulumi.yaml file demarcates the boundary used when
uploading a program to the Pulumi.com service at the moment, we
have trouble when a Pulumi program uses "up and over" references.
For instance, our customer wants to build a Dockerfile located
in some relative path, such as `../../elsewhere/`.
To support this, we will allow the Pulumi.yaml file to live
somewhere other than the main Pulumi entrypoint. For example,
it can live at the root of the repo, while the Pulumi program
lives in, say, `infra/`:
Pulumi.yaml:
name: as-before
main: infra/
This fixespulumi/pulumi#575. Further work can be done here to
provide even more flexibility; see pulumi/pulumi#574.
This change formats log messages the same way that Node.js does
in its console.log/error APIs. This ensures, for example, that
errors have their stack printed if present, and switches over to
just printing the error directly rather than manually toStringing it.
Adds OpenTracing in the Pulumi engine and plugin + langhost subprocesses.
We currently create a single root span for any `Enging.plan` operation - which is a single `preview`, `update`, `destroy`, etc.
The only sub-spans we currently create are at gRPC boundaries, both on the client and server sides and on both the langhost and provider plugin interfaces.
We could extend this to include spans for any other semantically meaningful sections of compute inside the engine, though initial examples show we get pretty good granularity of coverage by focusing on the gRPC boundaries.
In the future, this should be easily extensible to HTTP boundaries and to track other bulky I/O like datastore read/writes once we hook up to the PPC and Pulumi Cloud.
We expose a `--trace <endpoint>` option to enable tracing on the CLI, which we will aim to thread through to subprocesses.
We currently support sending tracing data to a Zipkin-compatible endpoint. This has been validated with both Zipkin and Jaeger UIs.
We do not yet have any tracing inside the TypeScript side of the JS langhost RPC interface. There is not yet automatic gRPC OpenTracing instrumentation (though it looks like it's in progress now) - so we would need to manually create meaningful spans on that side of the interface.
This change remembers that we failed due to an uncaught exception,
and defers the process.exit(1) until we actually reach the process's
exit event. This ensures that we drain the message queue before
exiting, which ensures that outbound messages actually reach their
destination.
As part of fixing the exit bug recently, we accidentally made errors
lead to zero exit codes. As a result, the Pulumi CLI thought the
prgoram exited ordinarily, and proceeded to do its usual planning and
deployment, rather than terminating abruptly.
This is a byproduct of how Node's process.uncaughtException handler
works. It hijacks and replaces all usual error logic, including the
process.exit part. This change simply adds back the non-zero exit.
I also added a test (and fixed one other that began failing
afterwards), so that we can prevent regressions down the road.
The `nodejs` language support is implemented as two programs: one that
manages the initial connection to the engine and provides the language
serivce itself, and another that the language service invokes in order
to run a `nodejs` Pulumi program. The latter is responsible for running
the user's program and communicating its resource requests to the
engine. Currently, `run` effectively assumes that the user's program
will run synchronously from start to finish, and will disconnect from
the engine once the user's program has completed. This assumption breaks
if the user's program requires multiple turns of the event loop to
finish its root resource requests. For example, the following program
would fail to create its second resource because the engine will be
disconnected once it reaches its `await`:
```
(async () => {
let a = new Resource();
await somePromise();
let = new Resource();
})();
```
These changes fix this issue by disconnecting from the engine during
process shutdown rather than after the user's program has finished its
first turn through the event loop.
This change adds functions, `pulumi.getProject()` and `pulumi.getStack()`,
to fetch the names of the project and stack, respectively. These can be
handy in generating names, specializing areas of the code, etc.
This fixespulumi/pulumi#429.
A dynamic resource is a resource whose provider is implemented alongside
the resource itself. This provider may close over and use orther
resources in the implementation of its CRUD operations. The provider
itself must be stateless, as each CRUD operation for a particular
dynamic resource type may use an independent instance of the provider.
Changes to the definition of a resource's provider result in replacement
of the resource itself (rather than a simple update), as this allows the
old provider definition to delete the old resource and the new provider
definition to create an appropriate replacement.
This change adds environment variable fallbacks for configuration
variables, such that you can either set them explicitly, as a specific
variable PULUMI_CONFIG_<K>, or an entire JSON serialized bag via
PULUMI_CONFIG.
This is convenient when simply invoking programs at the command line,
via node, e.g.
PULUMI_CONFIG_AWS_CONFIG_REGION=us-west-2 node bin/index.js
Our language host also now uses this to communicate config when invoking
a Run RPC, rather than at the command line. This fixespulumi/pulumi#336.
This resource provider accepts a single configuration parameter, `testing:provider:module`, that is the path to a Javascript module that implements CRUD operations for a set of resource types. This allows e.g. a test case to provide its own implementation of these operations that may succeed or fail in interesting ways.
Fixes#338.
This exposes the existing runtime logging functionality in a way meant
for 3rd-parties to consume. This can be useful if we want to introduce
debug logging, warnings, or other things, that fit nicely with the
Pulumi CLI and overall developer workflow.
This change improves our output formatting by generally adding
fewer prefixes. As shown in pulumi/pulumi#359, we were being
excessively verbose in many places, including prefixing every
console.out with "langhost[nodejs].stdout: ", displaying full
stack traces for simple errors like missing configuration, etc.
Overall, this change includes the following:
* Don't prefix stdout and stderr output from the program, other
than the standard "info:" prefix. I experimented with various
schemes here, but they all felt gratuitous. Simply emitting
the output seems fine, especially as it's closer to what would
happen if you just ran the program under node.
* Do NOT make writes to stderr fail the plan/deploy. Previously
we assumed that any console.errors, for instance, meant that
the overall program should fail. This simply isn't how stderr
is treated generally and meant you couldn't use certain
logging techniques and libraries, among other things.
* Do make sure that stderr writes in the program end up going to
stderr in the Pulumi CLI output, however, so that redirection
works as it should. This required a new Infoerr log level.
* Make a small fix to the planning logic so we don't attempt to
print the summary if an error occurs.
* Finally, add a new error type, RunError, that when thrown and
uncaught does not result in a full stack trace being printed.
Anyone can use this, however, we currently use it for config
errors so that we can terminate with a pretty error message,
rather than the monstrosity shown in pulumi/pulumi#359.
This change flips the polarity on parallelism: rather than having a
--serialize flag, we will have a --parallel=P flag, and by default
we will shut off parallelism. We aren't benefiting from it at the
moment (until we implement pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106), and there are
more hidden dependencies in places like AWS Lambdas and Permissions
than I had realized. We may revisit the default, but this allows
us to bite off the messiness of dependsOn only when we benefit from
it. And in any case, the --parallel=P capability will be useful.
This change adds an optiona dependsOn parameter to Resource constructors,
to "force" a fake dependency between resources. We have an extremely strong
desire to resort to using this only in unusual cases -- and instead rely
on the natural dependency DAG based on properties -- but experience in other
resource provisioning frameworks tells us that we're likely to need this in
the general case. Indeed, we've already encountered the need in AWS's
API Gateway resources... and I suspect we'll run into more especially as we
tackle non-serverless resources like EC2 Instances, where "ambient"
dependencies are far more commonplace.
This also makes parallelism the default mode of operation, and we have a
new --serialize flag that can be used to suppress this default behavior.
Full disclosure: I expect this to become more Make-like, i.e. -j 8, where
you can specify the precise width of parallelism, when we tackle
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106. I also think there's a good chance we will flip
the default, so that serial execution is the default, so that developers
who don't benefit from the parallelism don't need to worry about dependsOn
in awkward ways. This tends to be the way most tools (like Make) operate.
This fixespulumi/pulumi-fabric#335.
There's a fair bit of clean up in here, but the meat is:
* Allocate the language runtime gRPC client connection on the
goroutine that will use it; this eliminates race conditions.
* The biggie: there *appears* to be a bug in gRPC's implementation
on Linux, where it doesn't implement WaitForReady properly. The
behavior I'm observing is that RPC calls will not retry as they
are supposed to, but will instead spuriously fail during the RPC
startup. To work around this, I've added manual retry logic in
the shared plugin creation function so that we won't even try
to use the client connection until it is in a well-known state.
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#337 tracks getting to the bottom of this and,
ideally, removing the work around.
The other minor things are:
* Separate run.js into its own module, so it doesn't include
index.js and do a bunch of random stuff it shouldn't be doing.
* Allow run.js to be invoked without a --monitor. This makes
testing just the run part of invocation easier (including
config, which turned out to be super useful as I was debugging).
* Tidy up some messages.
This change closes the gRPC client connections, as they keep the
Node.js message loop alive on Linux (but, strangely, not Mac;
regardless, a good thing to do anyway...)
This change adds the ability to perform runtime logging, including
debug logging, that wires up to the Pulumi Fabric engine in the usual
ways. Most stdout/stderr will automatically go to the right place,
but this lets us add some debug tracing in the implementation of the
runtime itself (and should come in handy in other places, like perhaps
the Pulumi Framework and even low-level end-user code).
The organization of packages underneath lib/ breaks the easy consumption
of submodules, a la
import {FileAsset} from "@pulumi/pulumi-fabric/asset";
We will go back to having everything hanging off the module root directory.
This makes a few tweaks to get the integration tests passing:
* Add `runtime: nodejs` to the minimal example's `Lumi.yaml` file.
* Remove usage of `@lumi/lumirt { printf }` and just use `console.log`.
* Remove calls to `lumijs` in the integration test framework and
the minimal example's package.json. Instead, we just run
`yarn run build`, which itself internally just invokes `tsc`.
* Add package validation logic and eliminate the pkg/compiler/metadata
library, in favor of the simpler code in pkg/engine.
* Simplify the Node.js langhost plugin CLI, and simply take an
argument rather than requiring required and optional --flags.
* Use a default path of "." if the program path isn't provided. This
is a legal scenario if you've passed a pwd and just want to load
the package's default module ("./index.js" or whatever main says).
* Add an executable script, lumi-langhost-nodejs, that fires up the
`bin/cmd/langhost/index.js` file to serve the Node.js language plugin.
This change introduces the notion of a "dry run" into the property
serialization logic, since this controls whether we wait for dependent
linked property values to arrive or not. It also changes the test
harness to run all tests both ways: once in planning mode (when properties
will show up as "unknown" and the second time in deployment mode (when
properties will have settled to their final values).
This is the initial step towards redefining Lumi as a library that runs
atop vanilla Node.js/V8, rather than as its own runtime.
This change is woefully incomplete but this includes some of the more
stable pieces of my current work-in-progress.
The new structure is that within the sdk/ directory we will have a client
library per language. This client library contains the object model for
Lumi (resources, properties, assets, config, etc), in addition to the
"language runtime host" components required to interoperate with the
Lumi resource monitor. This resource monitor is effectively what we call
"Lumi" today, in that it's the thing orchestrating plans and deployments.
Inside the sdk/ directory, you will find nodejs/, the Node.js client
library, alongside proto/, the definitions for RPC interop between the
different pieces of the system. This includes existing RPC definitions
for resource providers, etc., in addition to the new ones for hosting
different language runtimes from within Lumi.
These new interfaces are surprisingly simple. There is effectively a
bidirectional RPC channel between the Lumi resource monitor, represented
by the lumirpc.ResourceMonitor interface, and each language runtime,
represented by the lumirpc.LanguageRuntime interface.
The overall orchestration goes as follows:
1) Lumi decides it needs to run a program written in language X, so
it dynamically loads the language runtime plugin for language X.
2) Lumi passes that runtime a loopback address to its ResourceMonitor
service, while language X will publish a connection back to its
LanguageRuntime service, which Lumi will talk to.
3) Lumi then invokes LanguageRuntime.Run, passing information like
the desired working directory, program name, arguments, and optional
configuration variables to make available to the program.
4) The language X runtime receives this, unpacks it and sets up the
necessary context, and then invokes the program. The program then
calls into Lumi object model abstractions that internally communicate
back to Lumi using the ResourceMonitor interface.
5) The key here is ResourceMonitor.NewResource, which Lumi uses to
serialize state about newly allocated resources. Lumi receives these
and registers them as part of the plan, doing the usual diffing, etc.,
to decide how to proceed. This interface is perhaps one of the
most subtle parts of the new design, as it necessitates the use of
promises internally to allow parallel evaluation of the resource plan,
letting dataflow determine the available concurrency.
6) The program exits, and Lumi continues on its merry way. If the program
fails, the RunResponse will include information about the failure.
Due to (5), all properties on resources are now instances of a new
Property<T> type. A Property<T> is just a thin wrapper over a T, but it
encodes the special properties of Lumi resource properties. Namely, it
is possible to create one out of a T, other Property<T>, Promise<T>, or
to freshly allocate one. In all cases, the Property<T> does not "settle"
until its final state is known. This cannot occur before the deployment
actually completes, and so in general it's not safe to depend on concrete
resolutions of values (unlike ordinary Promise<T>s which are usually
expected to resolve). As a result, all derived computations are meant to
use the `then` function (as in `someValue.then(v => v+x)`).
Although this change includes tests that may be run in isolation to test
the various RPC interactions, we are nowhere near finished. The remaining
work primarily boils down to three things:
1) Wiring all of this up to the Lumi code.
2) Fixing the handful of known loose ends required to make this work,
primarily around the serialization of properties (waiting on
unresolved ones, serializing assets properly, etc).
3) Implementing lambda closure serialization as a native extension.
This ongoing work is part of pulumi/pulumi-fabric#311.
