Pat Gavlin f848090479 Return all computed inputs from Provider.Check.
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.

Pulumi Fabric

The Pulumi Fabric ("Pulumi") is a framework and toolset for creating reusable cloud services.

If you are learning about Pulumi for the first time, please visit our docs website.

Build Status

Architecture Build Status
Linux x64 Linux x64 Build Status
Windows x64 Windows x64 Build Status

Installing

To install Pulumi from source, simply run:

$ go get -u github.com/pulumi/pulumi

A GOPATH must be set. A good default value is ~/go. In fact, this is the default in Go 1.8.

This installs the pulumi binary to $GOPATH/bin.

To do anything interesting with Pulumi, you will need an SDK for your language of choice. Please see sdk/README.md for information about how to obtain, install, and use such an SDK.

Development

This section is for Pulumi developers.

Prerequisites

Pulumi is written in Go, uses Dep for dependency management, and GoMetaLinter for linting:

Building and Testing

To build Pulumi, ensure $GOPATH is set, and clone into a standard Go workspace:

$ git clone git@github.com:pulumi/pulumi $GOPATH/src/github.com/pulumi/pulumi
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/pulumi/pulumi

The first time you build, you must make configure to install dependencies and perform other machine setup:

$ make configure

In the future, you can synch dependencies simply by running dep ensure explicitly:

$ dep ensure

At this point you can run make to build and run tests:

$ make

This installs the pulumi binary into $GOPATH/bin, which may now be run provided make exited successfully.

The Makefile also supports just running tests (make test), just running the linter (make lint), just running Govet (make vet), and so on. Please just refer to the Makefile for the full list of targets.

Debugging

The Pulumi tools have extensive logging built in. In fact, we encourage liberal logging in new code, and adding new logging when debugging problems. This helps to ensure future debugging endeavors benefit from your sleuthing.

All logging is done using Google's Glog library. It is relatively bare-bones, and adds basic leveled logging, stack dumping, and other capabilities beyond what Go's built-in logging routines offer.

The pulumi command line has two flags that control this logging and that can come in handy when debugging problems. The --logtostderr flag spews directly to stderr, rather than the default of logging to files in your temp directory. And the --verbose=n flag (-v=n for short) sets the logging level to n. Anything greater than 3 is reserved for debug-level logging, greater than 5 is going to be quite verbose, and anything beyond 7 is extremely noisy.

For example, the command

$ pulumi eval --logtostderr -v=5

is a pretty standard starting point during debugging that will show a fairly comprehensive trace log of a compilation.
