### First-Class Providers
These changes implement support for first-class providers. First-class
providers are provider plugins that are exposed as resources via the
Pulumi programming model so that they may be explicitly and multiply
instantiated. Each instance of a provider resource may be configured
differently, and configuration parameters may be source from the
outputs of other resources.
### Provider Plugin Changes
In order to accommodate the need to verify and diff provider
configuration and configure providers without complete configuration
information, these changes adjust the high-level provider plugin
interface. Two new methods for validating a provider's configuration
and diffing changes to the same have been added (`CheckConfig` and
`DiffConfig`, respectively), and the type of the configuration bag
accepted by `Configure` has been changed to a `PropertyMap`.
These changes have not yet been reflected in the provider plugin gRPC
interface. We will do this in a set of follow-up changes. Until then,
these methods are implemented by adapters:
- `CheckConfig` validates that all configuration parameters are string
or unknown properties. This is necessary because existing plugins
only accept string-typed configuration values.
- `DiffConfig` either returns "never replace" if all configuration
values are known or "must replace" if any configuration value is
unknown. The justification for this behavior is given
[here](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/1695/files#diff-a6cd5c7f337665f5bb22e92ca5f07537R106)
- `Configure` converts the config bag to a legacy config map and
configures the provider plugin if all config values are known. If any
config value is unknown, the underlying plugin is not configured and
the provider may only perform `Check`, `Read`, and `Invoke`, all of
which return empty results. We justify this behavior becuase it is
only possible during a preview and provides the best experience we
can manage with the existing gRPC interface.
### Resource Model Changes
Providers are now exposed as resources that participate in a stack's
dependency graph. Like other resources, they are explicitly created,
may have multiple instances, and may have dependencies on other
resources. Providers are referred to using provider references, which
are a combination of the provider's URN and its ID. This design
addresses the need during a preview to refer to providers that have not
yet been physically created and therefore have no ID.
All custom resources that are not themselves providers must specify a
single provider via a provider reference. The named provider will be
used to manage that resource's CRUD operations. If a resource's
provider reference changes, the resource must be replaced. Though its
URN is not present in the resource's dependency list, the provider
should be treated as a dependency of the resource when topologically
sorting the dependency graph.
Finally, `Invoke` operations must now specify a provider to use for the
invocation via a provider reference.
### Engine Changes
First-class providers support requires a few changes to the engine:
- The engine must have some way to map from provider references to
provider plugins. It must be possible to add providers from a stack's
checkpoint to this map and to register new/updated providers during
the execution of a plan in response to CRUD operations on provider
resources.
- In order to support updating existing stacks using existing Pulumi
programs that may not explicitly instantiate providers, the engine
must be able to manage the "default" providers for each package
referenced by a checkpoint or Pulumi program. The configuration for
a "default" provider is taken from the stack's configuration data.
The former need is addressed by adding a provider registry type that is
responsible for managing all of the plugins required by a plan. In
addition to loading plugins froma checkpoint and providing the ability
to map from a provider reference to a provider plugin, this type serves
as the provider plugin for providers themselves (i.e. it is the
"provider provider").
The latter need is solved via two relatively self-contained changes to
plan setup and the eval source.
During plan setup, the old checkpoint is scanned for custom resources
that do not have a provider reference in order to compute the set of
packages that require a default provider. Once this set has been
computed, the required default provider definitions are conjured and
prepended to the checkpoint's resource list. Each resource that
requires a default provider is then updated to refer to the default
provider for its package.
While an eval source is running, each custom resource registration,
resource read, and invoke that does not name a provider is trapped
before being returned by the source iterator. If no default provider
for the appropriate package has been registered, the eval source
synthesizes an appropriate registration, waits for it to complete, and
records the registered provider's reference. This reference is injected
into the original request, which is then processed as usual. If a
default provider was already registered, the recorded reference is
used and no new registration occurs.
### SDK Changes
These changes only expose first-class providers from the Node.JS SDK.
- A new abstract class, `ProviderResource`, can be subclassed and used
to instantiate first-class providers.
- A new field in `ResourceOptions`, `provider`, can be used to supply
a particular provider instance to manage a `CustomResource`'s CRUD
operations.
- A new type, `InvokeOptions`, can be used to specify options that
control the behavior of a call to `pulumi.runtime.invoke`. This type
includes a `provider` field that is analogous to
`ResourceOptions.provider`.
This change lets us set runtime specific options in Pulumi.yaml, which
will flow as arguments to the language hosts. We then teach the nodejs
host that when the `typescript` is set to `true` that it should load
ts-node before calling into user code. This allows using typescript
natively without an explicit compile step outside of Pulumi.
This works even when a tsconfig.json file is not present in the
application and should provide a nicer inner loop for folks writing
typescript (I'm pretty sure everyone has run into the "but I fixed
that bug! Why isn't it getting picked up? Oh, I forgot to run tsc"
problem.
Fixes#958
In pulumi/pulumi#1356, we observed that we can fail during a destroy
because we attempt to load the language plugin, which now eagerly looks
for the @pulumi/pulumi package.
This is also blocking ingestion of the latest engine bits into the PPC.
It turns out that for destroy (and refresh), we have no need for the
language plugin. So, let's skip loading it when appropriate.
This change suppresses the warning
warning: resource plugin aws is expected to have version >=0.11.3,
but has 0.11.1-dev-1523506162-g06ec765; the wrong version may
be on your path, or this may be a bug in the plugin
when the PULUMI_DEV envvar is set to a truthy value.
This warning keeps popping up in demos since I'm always using dev builds
and I'd like a way to shut it off, even though this can legitimately
point out a problem. Eventually I'll switch to official buildsa but,
until then, it seems worth having a simple way to suppress.
* Refactor the SnapshotManager interface
Lift snapshot management out of the engine by delegating it to the
SnapshotManager implementation in pkg/backend.
* Add a event interface for plugin loads and use that interface to record plugins in the snapshot
* Remove dead code
* Add comments to Events
* Add a number of tests for SnapshotManager
* CR feedback: use a successful bit on 'End' instead of having a separate 'Abort' API
* CR feedback
* CR feedback: register plugins one-at-a-time instead of the entire state at once
This change lets plugin versions to float in two ways:
1) If a `pulumi plugin install` detects a newer version is available
already, there's no need to download and install the older version.
2) If the engine attempts to load a plugin at a particular version,
if a newer version is available, it will be accepted without error.
As part of this, we permit $PATH to have the final say when determining
which version to accept. That is, it can always override the choice.
Note that I highly suspect, in the limit, that we'll want to stop doing
this for major version incompatibilities. For now, since we don't
envision any such version changes imminently, this will suffice.
This change uses the prior checkpoint's deployment manifest to pre-
populate all plugins required to complete the destroy operation. This
allows for subsequent attempts to load a resource's plugin to match the
already-loaded version. This approach obviously doesn't work in a
hypothetical future world where plugins for the same resource provider
are loaded side-by-side, but we already know that.
As it stands, we allow plugin load requests to race. Not only does this
create a situation in which we may load and then immediately throw away
a plugin (potentially leaking its process), it also creates the
possibility of races when reading from/writing to the various plugin
caches. These changes serialize all plugin loads and cache accesses by
running all accesses for a particular host in a single goroutine.
Fixes#1020.
This API was introduced to aid the refactoring, but it isn't something
we want to support long term. Remove it and for a few places, push
passing config.Key around more, instead of converting to the old type
eagerly.
config.Key has become a pair of namespace and name. Because the whole
world has not changed yet, there continues to be a way to convert
between a tokens.ModuleMember and config.Key, however now sometime the
conversion from tokens.ModuleMember can fail (when the module member
is not of the form `<package>:config:<name>`).
As it stands, we only configure those providers for which configuration
is present. This can lead to surprising failure modes if those providers
are then used to create resources. These changes ensure that all
resource providers that are not configured during plan initialization
are configured upon first load.
Fixes#758.
Previously, we would prefer a plugin on the $PATH which is more or
less always the case for people hacking on `pulumi`. Later, when we
went to check the loaded plugin version matched the one we requested,
we fail.
Now, if we have a version, we'll first consult the local plugin
cache. If that fails, we'll fall back to the $PATH as we used to.
When we are loading a plugin without a version, we continue to use the
one on the $PATH (without testing the cache) on the assumption it is
newer.
In addition, we've turned the "plugin versions are mis-matched" from
an error into a warning. We expect that we'll only ever see this
warning when something strange is going on (since in the normal case,
we'll have found the exact version in the cache) but having it not
hard fail does help in development cases.
Fixes#977
This brings back the Node.js language plugin's GetRequiredPlugins
function, reimplemented in Go now that the language host has been
rewritten from JavaScript. Fairly rote translation, along with
some random fixes required to get tests passing again.
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 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

This addresses pulumi/pulumi#628.
These changes introduce a new field, `Raw`, to `diag.Message`. This
field indicates that the contents of the message are not a format string
and should not be rendered via `Sprintf` during stringification.
The plugin std{out,err} readers have been updated to use raw messages,
and the event reader in `pulumi` has been fixed s.t. it does not format
event payloads before display.
Fixes#551.
This includes a few changes:
* The repo name -- and hence the Go modules -- changes from pulumi-fabric to pulumi.
* The Node.js SDK package changes from @pulumi/pulumi-fabric to just pulumi.
* The CLI is renamed from lumi to pulumi.
This change adds the ability to perform runtime logging, including
debug logging, that wires up to the Pulumi Fabric engine in the usual
ways. Most stdout/stderr will automatically go to the right place,
but this lets us add some debug tracing in the implementation of the
runtime itself (and should come in handy in other places, like perhaps
the Pulumi Framework and even low-level end-user code).
As explained in pulumi/pulumi-fabric#293, we were a little ad-hoc in
how configuration was "applied" to resource providers.
In fact, config wasn't ever communicated directly to providers; instead,
the resource providers would simply ask the engine to read random heap
locations (via tokens). Now that we're on a plan where configuration gets
handed to the program at startup, and that's that, and where generally
speaking resource providers never communicate directly with the language
runtime, we need to take a different approach.
As such, the resource provider interface now offers a Configure RPC
method that the resource planning engine will invoke at the right
times with the right subset of configuration variables filtered to
just that provider's package. This fixespulumi/pulumi#293.
We are renaming Lumi to Pulumi Fabric. This change simply renames the
pulumi/lumi repo to pulumi/pulumi-fabric, without the CLI tools and other
changes that will follow soon afterwards.
This adds a ReadLocations RPC function to the engine interface, alongside
the singular ReadLocation. The plural function takes a single token that
represents a module or class and we will then return all of the module
or class (static) properties that are currently known.
After 233c5a8 landed, I noticed there are a few things to be fixed up:
* Run gometalinter in all the right places. We need to run both in
lint and lint_quiet targets. I've also cleaned up some of the logic
around what to suppress so there's less repetition.
* We currently @ meaningful commands, which is unfortunate, since it
makes debugging Makefiles tough (especially when looking at CI build
logs). Going forward, we should only use @ for meaningless commands,
like @echo.
* The AWS project wasn't actually running tslint, because it needs to
say `tslint './pack/**/*.ts' --exclude='./pack/node_modules/**'`.
The current script of `tslint lib/aws/pack/...` wasn't actually
running lint, hence we missed a lot of AWS lint issues.
* Fix up the issues that these fixes uncovered. Mostly err shadowing.
This continues the previous commit and establishes the interpreter
context so that we can use the new host interface. In summary:
* Instead of using the NullSource for destructions -- which
doesn't hook up an interpreter and so any reads of configuration
variables will fail -- we will enlighten the EvalSource to know
how to orchestrate destruction interpretation. The primary
difference is that we don't actually run the code, but *we do*
perform all of the necessary configuration and variable init.
* Associate the active interpreter with the plugin context as
we are executing, so that the host object can actually read the
state from the heap as requested to do so by attached plugins.
* Rename anything "engine" related to use the term "host"; this
avoids introducing unnecesarily new terminology.
* Add a new pkg/resource/provider/ package where we can begin
consolidating helper functionality for resource providers.
Right now, this includes a wrapper interface atop the gRPC
machinery necessary to contact the host, in addition to a
Main function that hides some boilerplate entrypoint code.
* Add a rpcutil.IsBenignCloseErr routine to let us ignore
"benign" gRPC errors that are knowingly returned at shutdown.
This commit completes pulumi/lumi#117.
This addresses CR feedback from @lukehoban; namely, that we should
be going through the Read API for location reads in the plugin host
to ensure that getters are invoked as appropriate.
I also made Location's various fields private so that we aren't
tempted to make this mistake elsewhere, effectively "forcing" us
to go through the accessor methods.
This change adds an engine gRPC interface, and associated implementation,
so that plugins may do interesting things that require "phoning home".
Previously, the engine would fire up plugins and talk to them directly,
but there was no way for a plugin to ask the engine to do anything.
The motivation here is so that plugins can read evaluator state, such
as config information, but this change also allows richer logging
functionality than previously possible. We will still auto-log any
stdout/stderr writes; however, explicit errors, warnings, informational,
and even debug messages may be written over the Log API.
This change guts the deployment planning and execution process, a
necessary component of pulumi/lumi#90.
The major effect of this change is that resources are actually
connected to the live objects, instead of being snapshots taken at
inopportune moments in time.
