We previously attempted to make the special diff apply behavior for nested sets of objects work with attribute mode by totally discarding attribute mode for all shims. In practice, that is too broad a solution: there are lots of other shimming behaviors that we _don't_ want when attribute mode is enabled. In particular, we need to make sure that the difference between null and empty can be seen in configuration. As a compromise then, we will give all of the shims access to the real ConfigMode and then do a more specialized fixup within the diff-apply logic: we'll construct a synthetic nested block schema and then use that to run our existing logic to deal with nested sets of objects, while using the previous behavior in all other cases. In effect, this means that the special new behavior only applies when the provider uses the opt-in ConfigMode setting on a particular attribute, and thus this change has much less risk of causing broad, unintended regressions elsewhere.
Helper Libraries
This folder contains helper libraries for Terraform plugins. A running joke is that this is "Terraform standard library" for plugins. The goal of the packages in this directory are to provide high-level helpers to make it easier to implement the various aspects of writing a plugin for Terraform.
