This change just moves the assertion/failure functions from the pkg/util
package to pkg/util/contract, so things read a bit nicer (i.e.,
`contract.Assert(x)` versus `util.Assert(x)`).
This change properly transforms literal AST nodes during code-gen.
This includes emitting CloudFormation !Refs where appropriate, for
intra-stack references (capability types).
This is an initial pass at property binding. For all stack instantiations,
we must verify that the set of properties supplied are correct. We also must
remember the bound property information so that code-generation has all of
the information it needs to generate correct code (including capability refs).
This entails:
* Ensuring required properties are provided.
* Expanding missing properties that have Default values.
* Type-checking that supplied properties are of the right type.
* Expanding property values into AST literal nodes.
To do this requires a third AST pass in the semantic analysis part of the
compiler. In the 1st pass, dependencies aren't even known yet; in the 2nd
pass, dependencies have not yet been bound; therefore, we need a 3rd pass,
which can depend on the full binding information for the transitive closure
of AST nodes and dependencies to have been populated with types.
There are a few loose ends in here:
* We don't yet validate top-level stack properties.
* We don't yet validate top-level stack base type properties.
* We don't yet support complex schema property types.
* We don't yet support even "simple" complex property types, like `[ string ]`.
* We don't yet support strongly typed capability property types (just `service`).
That said, I am going to turn to writing a few tests for the basic cases, and then
resume to finishing this afterwards (tracked by marapongo/mu#25).
The prior code could miss arrays of strings during conversion because
the arrays created by the various marshalers are weakly typed. In other
words, even though they contain strings, the array type is []interface{}.
This change introduces the encoding.ArrayOfStrings function to perform
this conversion, first by checking for []string and returning that directly
where possible, and second, if that fails, checking each element and copying.
This change performs template expansion both for root stack documents in
addition to the transitive closure of dependencies. There are many ongoing
design and implementation questions about how this should actually work;
please see marapongo/mu#7 for a discussion of them.
This change adds support for Workspaces, a convenient way of sharing settings
among many Stacks, like default cluster targets, configuration settings, and the
like, which are not meant to be distributed as part of the Stack itself.
The following things are included in this checkin:
* At workspace initialization time, detect and parse the .mu/workspace.yaml
file. This is pretty rudimentary right now and contains just the default
cluster targets. The results are stored in a new ast.Workspace type.
* Rename "target" to "cluster". This impacts many things, including ast.Target
being changed to ast.Cluster, and all related fields, the command line --target
being changed to --cluster, various internal helper functions, and so on. This
helps to reinforce the desired mental model.
* Eliminate the ast.Metadata type. Instead, the metadata moves directly onto
the Stack. This reflects the decision to make Stacks "the thing" that is
distributed, versioned, and is the granularity of dependency.
* During cluster targeting, add the workspace settings into the probing logic.
We still search in the same order: CLI > Stack > Workspace.
This change moves the workspace and Mufile detection logic out of the compiler
package and into the workspace one.
This also sketches out the overall workspace structure. A workspace is "delimited"
by the presence of a .mu/ directory anywhere in the parent ancestry. Inside of that
directory we have an optional .mu/clusters.yaml (or .json) file containing cluster
settings shared among the whole workspace. We also have an optional .mu/stacks/
directory that contains dependencies used during package management.
The notion of a "global" workspace will also be present, which is essentially just
a .mu/ directory in your home, ~/.mu/, that has an equivalent structure, but can be
shared among all workspaces on the same machine.
This change mostly replaces explicit if/then/glog.Fatalf calls with
util.Assert calls. In addition, it adds a companion util.Fail family
of methods that does the same thing as a failed assertion, except that
it is unconditional.
This is another change of mostly placeholders.
In general, there will be three kinds of types handled by code-generation:
* Mu primitives will be expanded into AWS goo in a very specialized way, to
accomplish the desired Mu semantics for those abstractions.
* AWS-specific extension types (mu/extension) will be recognized, so that we
can create special AWS resources like S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, etc.
* Anything else is interpreted as a reference to another stack that will be
instantiated at deployment time (basically through template expansion).
This change does rearrange two noteworthy things in the core compiler, however:
first, it creates a place for bound nodes in the public and private service
references, so that the backend can access the raw stack types behind them; and
second, it moves the predefined types underneath their own package to avoid cycles.
This change begins to lay the groundwork for doing semantic analysis and
lowering to the cloud target's representation. In particular:
* Split the mu/schema package. There is now mu/ast which contains the
core types and mu/encoding which concerns itself with JSON and YAML
serialization.
* Notably I am *not* yet introducing a second AST form. Instead, we will
keep the parse tree and AST unified for the time being. I envision very
little difference between them -- at least for now -- and so this keeps
things simpler, at the expense of two downsides: 1) the trees will be
mutable (which turns out to be a good thing for performance), and 2) some
fields will need to be ignored during de/serialization. We can always
revisit this later when and if the need to split them arises.
* Add a binder phase. It is currently a no-op.
