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 includes logic to resolve dependencies declared by stacks. The design
is described in https://github.com/marapongo/mu/blob/master/docs/deps.md.
In summary, each stack may declare dependencies, which are name/semver pairs. A
new structure has been introduced, ast.Ref, to distinguish between ast.Names and
dependency names. An ast.Ref includes a protocol, base part, and a name part (the
latter being an ast.Name); for example, in "https://hub.mu.com/mu/container/",
"https://" is the protocol, "hub.mu.com/" is the base, and "mu/container" is the
name. This is used to resolve URL-like names to package manager-like artifacts.
The dependency resolution phase happens after parsing, but before semantic analysis.
This is because dependencies are "source-like" in that we must load and parse all
dependency metadata files. We stick the full transitive closure of dependencies
into a map attached to the compiler to avoid loading dependencies multiple times.
Note that, although dependencies prohibit cycles, this forms a DAG, meaning multiple
inbound edges to a single stack may come from multiple places.
From there, we rely on ordinary visitation to deal with dependencies further.
This includes inserting symbol entries into the symbol table, mapping names to the
loaded stacks, during the first phase of binding so that they may be found
subsequently when typechecking during the second phase and beyond.
This change introduces a Workspace interface that can be used as a first
class object. We will embellish this as we start binding to dependencies,
which requires us to search multiple paths. This change also introduces a
workspace.InstallRoot() function to fetch the Mu install path.
This change implements the aws/cf extension provider, so that AWS resources
may be described and encapsulated inside of other stacks. Each aws/cf instantiation
requires just two fields -- type and properties -- corresponding to the equivalent
AWS resource object. The result is simply plugged in as an AWS resource, after
Mu templates have been expanded, permitting stack properties, etc. to be used.
This change introduces the notion of "Stack subclassing" in two ways:
1. A Stack may declare that it subclasses another one using the base property:
name: mystack
base: other/stack
.. as before ..
2. A Stack may declare that it is abstract; in other words, that it is meant
solely for subclassing, and cannot be compiled and deployed independently:
name: mystack
abstract: true
.. as before ..
Note that non-abstract Stacks are required to declare at least one Service,
whether that is public, private, or both.
This adds some tests around cloud targeting, in addition to enabling builds
to use in-memory Mufiles (mostly to make testing simpler, but this is a
generally useful capability to have when hosting the compiler API).
This change implements most of the cloud target and architecture detection
logic, along with associated verification and a bunch of new error messages.
There are two settings for picking a cloud destination:
* Architecture: this specifies the combination of cloud (e.g., AWS, GCP, etc)
plus scheduler (e.g., none, Swarm, ECS, etc).
* Target: a named, preconfigured entity that includes both an Architecture and
an assortment of extra default configuration options.
The general idea here is that you can preconfigure a set of Targets for
named environments like "prod", "stage", etc. Those can either exist in a
single Mufile, or the Mucluster file if they are shared amongst multiple
Mufiles. This can be specified at the command line as such:
$ mu build --target=stage
Furthermore, a given environment may be annointed the default, so that
$ mu build
selects that environment without needing to say so explicitly.
It is also possible to specify an architecture at the command line for
scenarios where you aren't intending to target an existing named environment.
This is good for "anonymous" testing scenarios or even just running locally:
$ mu build --arch=aws
$ mu build --arch=aws:ecs
$ mu build --arch=local:kubernetes
$ .. and so on ..
This change does little more than plumb these settings around, verify them,
etc., however it sets us up to actually start dispating to the right backend.
This change adds rudimentary type binding to phase 2 of the binder. Note that
we still don't have the notion of predefined types (for the primitives), so this
basically rejects any well-formed Mufile. Primitives are on deck.
This change lays some groundwork that registers symbols when doing semantic
analysis of the resulting AST. For now, that just entails detecting duplicate
services by way of symbol registration.
Note that we've also split binding into two phases to account for the fact
that intra-stack dependencies are wholly legal.
This change introduces a check during parse-tree analysis that dependencies
are valid, along with some tests. Note that this could technically happen later
during semantic analysis and I will likely move it so that we can get better
diagnostics (more errors before failing). I've also cleaned up and unified some
of the logic by introducing the general notion of a Visitor interface, which the
parse tree analyzer, binder, and analyzers to come will all implement.
This change ensures that Stack semantic version numbers specified in Mufiles
are correct. Note that we do not accept ranges for the version number itself,
although obviously when checking dependencies we will permit it.
This change adds a few more compiler tests and rearranges some bits and pieces
that came up while doing so. For example, we now issue warnings for incorrect
casing and/or extensions of the Mufile (and test these conditions). As part of
doing that, it became clear the layering between the mu/compiler and mu/workspace
packages wasn't quite right, so some logic got moved around; additionally, the
separation of concerns between mu/workspace and mu/schema wasn't quite right, so
this has been fixed also (workspace just understands Mufile related things while
schema understands how to unmarshal the specific supported extensions).
This change adds a compiler test that just checks the basic "Mufile is missing"
error checking. The test itself is mostly uninteresting; what's more interesting
is the addition of some basic helper functionality that can be used for future
compiler tests, like capturing of compiler diagnostics for comparisons.
This change includes some progress on actual compilation (albeit with several
TODOs remaining before we can actually spit out a useful artifact). There are
also some general cleanups sprinkled throughout. In a nutshell:
* Add a compiler.Context object that will be available during template expansion.
* Introduce a diag.Document abstraction. This is better than passing raw filenames
around, and lets us embellish diagnostics as we go. In particular, we will be
in a better position to provide line/column error information.
* Move IO out of the Parser and into the Compiler, where it can cache and reuse
Documents. This will become important as we start to load up dependencies.
* Rename PosRange to Location. This reads nicer with the new Document terminology.
* Rename the mu/api package to mu/schema. It's likely we will need to introduce a
true AST that is decoupled from the serialization format and contains bound nodes.
As a result, treating the existing types as "schema" is more honest.
* Add in a big section of TODOs at the end of the compiler.Compiler.Build function.
This adds a bunch of general scaffolding and the beginning of a `build` command.
The general engineering scaffolding includes:
* Glide for dependency management.
* A Makefile that runs govet and golint during builds.
* Google's Glog library for logging.
* Cobra for command line functionality.
The Mu-specific scaffolding includes some packages:
* mu/pkg/diag: A package for compiler-like diagnostics. It's fairly barebones
at the moment, however we can embellish this over time.
* mu/pkg/errors: A package containing Mu's predefined set of errors.
* mu/pkg/workspace: A package containing workspace-related convenience helpers.
in addition to a main entrypoint that simply wires up and invokes the CLI. From
there, the mu/cmd package takes over, with the Cobra-defined CLI commands.
Finally, the mu/pkg/compiler package actually implements the compiler behavior.
Or, it will. For now, it simply parses a JSON or YAML Mufile into the core
mu/pkg/api types, and prints out the result.
