Thse changes make a subtle but critical adjustment to the process the
Pulumi engine uses to determine whether or not a difference exists
between a resource's actual and desired states, and adjusts the way this
difference is calculated and displayed accordingly.
Today, the Pulumi engine get the first chance to decide whether or not
there is a difference between a resource's actual and desired states. It
does this by comparing the current set of inputs for a resource (i.e.
the inputs from the running Pulumi program) with the last set of inputs
used to update the resource. If there is no difference between the old
and new inputs, the engine decides that no change is necessary without
consulting the resource's provider. Only if there are changes does the
engine consult the resource's provider for more information about the
difference. This can be problematic for a number of reasons:
- Not all providers do input-input comparison; some do input-state
comparison
- Not all providers are able to update the last deployed set of inputs
when performing a refresh
- Some providers--either intentionally or due to bugs--may see changes
in resources whose inputs have not changed
All of these situations are confusing at the very least, and the first
is problematic with respect to correctness. Furthermore, the display
code only renders diffs it observes rather than rendering the diffs
observed by the provider, which can obscure the actual changes detected
at runtime.
These changes address both of these issues:
- Rather than comparing the current inputs against the last inputs
before calling a resource provider's Diff function, the engine calls
the Diff function in all cases.
- Providers may now return a list of properties that differ between the
requested and actual state and the way in which they differ. This
information will then be used by the CLI to render the diff
appropriately. A provider may also indicate that a particular diff is
between old and new inputs rather than old state and new inputs.

Our logic to export a resource as a stack output transforms the
resource into a plain old object by eliding internal fields and then
just serializing the resource as a POJO.
The custom serialization logic we used here unwrapped an Output
without care to see if it held a secret. Now, when it does, we
continue to return an Output as the thing to be serialized and that
output is marked as a secret.
Fixes#2862
Currently, if a secret was present, the value of variable "value" is used as the
key for the dictionary object containing the output. This leads to KeyError
exceptions in various places, as reported in #2782. This PR changes that to use
the literal string "value".
Fixes#2782.
@keen99 pointed out that newer versions of golangci-lint were failing
due to some spelling errors. This change fixes them up. We have also
now have a work item to track moving to a newer golangci-lint tool in
the future.
Fixes#2841
We no longer support Node 6.X (it went end of life at the end of
April, we stopped testing on it, and now we use features that are not
in Node 6 like `Object.values`.
Note that we support 8+, and add an `engines` section to our
package.json so folks who try to install on older versions of node see
warnings.
Currently if you log into s3://bucket/subdirectory, Pulumi will write
files to s3://bucket/.pulumi and not s3://bucket/subdirectory/.pulumi,
this corrects the error.
