Our recent changes to colorization changed from a boolean to a tri-valued
enum (Always, Never, Raw). The events from the service, however, are still
boolean-valued. This changes the message payload to carry the full values.
Part of the work to make it easier to tests of diff output. Specifically, we now allow users to pass --color=option for several pulumi commands. 'option' can be one of 'always', 'never', 'raw', and 'auto' (the default).
The meaning of these flags are:
1. auto: colorize normally, unless in --debug
2. always: always colorize no matter what
3. never: never colorize no matter what.
4. raw: colorize, but preserve the original "<{%%}>" style control codes and not the translated platform specific codes. This is for testing purposes and ensures we can have test for this stuff across platform.
The change to use a Goroutine for pumping output causes a hang
when an error occurs. This is because we unconditionally block
on the <-done channel, even though the failure means the done
will actually never occur. This changes the logic to only wait
on the channel if we successfully began the operation in question.
Previously, the engine would write to io.Writer's to display output.
When hosted in `pulumi` these writers were tied to os.Stdout and
os.Stderr, but other applications hosting the engine could send them
other places (e.g. a log to be sent to an another application later).
While much better than just using the ambient streams, this was still
not the best. It would be ideal if the engine could just emit strongly
typed events and whatever is hosting the engine could care about
displaying them.
As a first step down that road, we move to a model where operations on
the engine now take a `chan engine.Event` and during the course of the
operation, events are written to this channel. It is the
responsibility of the caller of the method to read from the channel
until it is closed (singifying that the operation is complete).
The events we do emit are still intermingle presentation with data,
which is unfortunate, but can be improved over time. Most of the
events today are just colorized in the client and printed to stdout or
stderr without much thought.
