When we originally introduced the trust-on-first-use checksum locking
mechanism in v0.14, we had to make some tricky decisions about how it
should interact with the pre-existing optional read-through global cache
of provider packages:
The global cache essentially conflicts with the checksum locking because
if the needed provider is already in the cache then Terraform skips
installing the provider from upstream and therefore misses the opportunity
to capture the signed checksums published by the provider developer. We
can't use the signed checksums to verify a cache entry because the origin
registry protocol is still using the legacy ziphash scheme and that is
only usable for the original zipped provider packages and not for the
unpacked-layout cache directory. Therefore we decided to prioritize the
existing cache directory behavior at the expense of the lock file behavior,
making Terraform produce an incomplete lock file in that case.
Now that we've had some real-world experience with the lock file mechanism,
we can see that the chosen compromise was not ideal because it causes
"terraform init" to behave significantly differently in its lock file
update behavior depending on whether or not a particular provider is
already cached. By robbing Terraform of its opportunity to fetch the
official checksums, Terraform must generate a lock file that is inherently
non-portable, which is problematic for any team which works with the same
Terraform configuration on multiple different platforms.
This change addresses that problem by essentially flipping the decision so
that we'll prioritize the lock file behavior over the provider cache
behavior. Now a global cache entry is eligible for use if and only if the
lock file already contains a checksum that matches the cache entry. This
means that the first time a particular configuration sees a new provider
it will always be fetched from the configured installation source
(typically the origin registry) and record the checksums from that source.
On subsequent installs of the same provider version already locked,
Terraform will then consider the cache entry to be eligible and skip
re-downloading the same package.
This intentionally makes the global cache mechanism subordinate to the
lock file mechanism: the lock file must be populated in order for the
global cache to be effective. For those who have many separate
configurations which all refer to the same provider version, they will
need to re-download the provider once for each configuration in order to
gather the information needed to populate the lock file, whereas before
they would have only downloaded it for the _first_ configuration using
that provider.
This should therefore remove the most significant cause of folks ending
up with incomplete lock files that don't work for colleagues using other
platforms, and the expense of bypassing the cache for the first use of
each new package with each new configuration. This tradeoff seems
reasonable because otherwise such users would inevitably need to run
"terraform providers lock" separately anyway, and that command _always_
bypasses the cache. Although this change does decrease the hit rate of the
cache, if we subtract the never-cached downloads caused by
"terraform providers lock" then this is a net benefit overall, and does
the right thing by default without the need to run a separate command.
Go 1.19's "fmt" has some awareness of the new doc comment formatting
conventions and adjusts the presentation of the source comments to make
it clearer how godoc would interpret them. Therefore this commit includes
various updates made by "go fmt" to acheve that.
In line with our usual convention that we make stylistic/grammar/spelling
tweaks typically only when we're "in the area" changing something else
anyway, I also took this opportunity to review most of the comments that
this updated to see if there were any other opportunities to improve them.
This also sets an additional variable if it detects that this is an alpha
or development build, which currently does nothing but might eventually
turn on the ability to use experimental features, if we make that
something available only in prereleases.
