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 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 bunch of refactorings I made in prep for
doing refresh (first, the command, see pulumi/pulumi#1081):
* The primary change is to change the way the engine's core update
functionality works with respect to deploy.Source. This is the
way we can plug in new sources of resource information during
planning (and, soon, diffing). The way I intend to model refresh
is by having a new kind of source, deploy.RefreshSource, which
will let us do virtually everything about an update/diff the same
way with refreshes, which avoid otherwise duplicative effort.
This includes changing the planOptions (nee deployOptions) to
take a new SourceFunc callback, which is responsible for creating
a source specific to the kind of plan being requested.
Preview, Update, and Destroy now are primarily differentiated by
the kind of deploy.Source that they return, rather than sprinkling
things like `if Destroying` throughout. This tidies up some logic
and, more importantly, gives us precisely the refresh hook we need.
* Originally, we used the deploy.NullSource for Destroy operations.
This simply returns nothing, which is how Destroy works. For some
reason, we were no longer doing this, and instead had some
`if Destroying` cases sprinkled throughout the deploy.EvalSource.
I think this is a vestige of some old way we did configuration, at
least judging by a comment, which is apparently no longer relevant.
* Move diff and diff-printing logic within the engine into its own
pkg/engine/diff.go file, to prepare for upcoming work.
* I keep noticing benign diffs anytime I regenerate protobufs. I
suspect this is because we're also on different versions. I changed
generate.sh to also dump the version into grpc_version.txt. At
least we can understand where the diffs are coming from, decide
whether to take them (i.e., a newer version), and ensure that as
a team we are monotonically increasing, and not going backwards.
* I also tidied up some tiny things I noticed while in there, like
comments, incorrect types, lint suppressions, and so on.
This commit does two things:
1. All dependencies of a resource, both implicit and explicit, are
communicated directly to the engine when registering a resource. The
engine keeps track of these dependencies and ultimately serializes
them out to the checkpoint file upon successful deployment.
2. Once a successful deployment is done, the new `pulumi stack
graph` command reads the checkpoint file and outputs the dependency
information within in the DOT format.
Keeping track of dependency information within the checkpoint file is
desirable for a number of reasons, most notably delete-before-create,
where we want to delete resources before we have created their
replacement when performing an update.
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.
This change adds rudimentary delete-before-create support (see
pulumi/pulumi#450). This cannot possibly be complete until we also
implement pulumi/pulumi#624, becuase we may try to delete a resource
while it still has dependent resources (which almost certainly will
fail). But until then, we can use this to manually unwedge ourselves
for leaf-node resources that do not support old and new resources
living side-by-side.
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

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.
