Short-circuit behavior for the `&&` and `||` operators

1

Previously we just always evaluated both operands of any binary operator and then executed the operator. For the logical operators that was inconsistent with their treatment in several other languages...

This introduces a new syntax which allows function names to have namespace prefixes, with the different name parts separated by a double-colon `::` as is common in various other C-derived...

gohcl: WithRange[T] for concise decoding with source locations

1

Until now `gohcl` has forced callers to decide between two non-ideal options: - Decode directly into a "normal" Go type, like string, but then have no access to the source...

We've been holding on to this snapshot of the old docs from the v0.11 branch ever since the v0.12 release as a courtesy to folks who are still using Terraform...

On Windows, Terraform can't resolve symlinks to volumes that don't have DOS-style drive letters

8

Due to upstream Go issue golang/go#39786, any time Terraform uses `filepath.EvalSymlinks` it will fail on Windows systems where the given symlink refers to a UNC-style path to a volume, and...

[WIP] "Checks" (e.g. preconditions/postconditions) as the basis of module testing

2

In Terraform v0.15 we published the first official iteration of experimental support for an integrated automated integration test harness for Terraform modules. (Before that there were some _unofficial_ iterations I...

Could we generate random results at plan time rather than apply time?

9

When I originally proposed the `random` provider we didn't have any well-defined mechanism for a provider to generate attribute values at any time other than apply time, but in the...

The `random_id` docs claim the following: > Unlike other resources in the "random" provider, this resource does use a cryptographic random number generator in order to minimize the chance of...

Classifying normalization vs. drift

(I originally wrote up a longer version of this which included a lot more background information and historical context, but then when I submitted it GitHub encountered an error and...

SDK's handling of unknown values in maps makes it impossible to implement the provider protocol correctly
