The GetBuilds function, available on both HCL2 and legacy JSON
configuration objects, used to return the Build interface.
This typing by interface is not useful in this instance, since all the
uses of `GetBuilds' are self-contained within Packer, and we're never
using any other implementation for it than `*CoreBuild`.
We've been relying on the dynamic type for all the builds being
*CoreBuild in some places of the code, so to avoid potential surprises
in the future, we'll change the signature now so it returns only
concrete types.
Since the protos for uploading an SBOM for a build have been changed to
use an enumeration instead of a plain string with the latest revisions
to the HCP Packer SBOM support feature, we update how we reference those
values for the SBOM format to use that enum instead.
Since packer now supports keeping track of SBOMs produced during a
build, we add the code to integrate those changes into the internal/hcp
package, so we do upload them on build completion.
The hcp-sbom provisioner is a provisioner that acts essentially like a
download-only file provisioner, which also verifies the file downloaded
is a SPDX/CycloneDX JSON-encoded SBOM file, and sets up its upload to
HCP Packer later on.
As we're trying to move away from gob for serialising data over the
wire, this commit adds the capability for Packer to pick dynamically
between gob or protobuf for the serialisation format to communicate with
plugins.
As it stands, if all the plugins discovered are compatible with
protobuf, and we have not forced gob usage, protobuf will be the
serialisation format picked.
If any plugin is not compatible with protobuf, gob will be used for
communicating with all the plugins that will be used over the course of
a command.
Following up on the DAG work, this commit adds a new option for
initialisation that disables DAG on request.
By default we are going to use the DAG approach, with an option to
fallback to using the older algorithm for evaluation in case users
end-up in an edge-case that prevents them from building a template.
In a couple places in the codebase we didn't check the errors from
functions we execute.
In some cases this is harmless (or at least ignorable), but others may
need to log what went wrong, so for all the reported occurrences we
either ignore explicitly or handle the error with a log.
Some of the variables we create are flagged by our linters as
ineffective assignments, which makes sense as those are generally fed by
code below, so we don't need to use the declaration/assignation syntax
(:=) but instead can fall back to using var with a type to get the zero
value of the declared entity.
Since the enumer implementation we used hadn't been updated for 5+
years, this didn't work with recent linux/go versions, and enumer
crashed while attempting to parse/analyse the source files.
There's another alternative on Github, forked from the one we used,
which seems more maintained now, and does produce the expected files in
Packer.
When Discovering plugins installed through the `Discover` function, we
use the base name of the plugin binary we discovered preliminarly, then
we match its name against a regex to extract the prefix for the plugin's
components.
Extracting the base path used to be done with `path.Base`, which while
working perfectly on UNIX systems, does not on Windows as it uses `\\`
as their path separator.
To circumvent this problem, we use the `filepath` package to extract the
base name of the plugin instead, making the discovery logic work again
on Windows.
Listing installed plugins on Windows requires the extension to be set in
the ListOptions, otherwise they are not discovered.
While working on the discovery code, and consolidating it in a single
location, we've forgotten to pass the argument to ListInstallations, so
that makes it impossible to automatically discover installed components
on Windows.
This commit fixes this issue for the plugins required, and the general
discovery process during build/validate.
If a plugin is installed in the PACKER_PLUGIN_PATH, and its version
contains metadata, we reject it. This is because metadata is free-form
data, which could then make it possible to have multiple conflicting
versions of a plugin installed, so we don't support it and explicitely
reject plugins like those.
A valid plugin with metadata in its version information should be
installed without its metadata part, so there can only be one variant of
the plugin installed at a specific version.
The ParsePluginSource function can be invoked from either a HCL2 context
(when parsing a required_plugins block), or from the command-line
itself.
While in the first context a hcl.Diagnostics is coherent, in case the
source to parse is a command-line argument, for example when installing
or removing a plugin, the error message cannot have an HCL context,
leading to errors that are incorrectly prefixed by a <nil> string dure
to the lack of a reference to attach the diagnostic to.
Therefore, in order to fix this behaviour, the logic that parses plugin
sources now returns an error, and attaching the error to an HCL subject
is done independently, if needed.
When specifying/installing plugins, a source URI is required for Packer
to be able to locate or install a plugin to the local plugin hierarchy.
The plugin hierarchy is based on the plugin source, where each component
in this hierarchy will become a directory.
In order to avoid sources with too many levels of nesting, causing a lot
of mkdirs, we limit the number of sources to 16 in this commit, this
should be long enough for most of our users.
When running a packer command on an HCL2 template, depending on whether
or not there are required_plugin blocks defined, Packer may need to
discover and register a plugin's components multiple times.
This is the behaviour ever since those blocks were introduced to Packer,
but given we are doing the operation multiple times, this is suboptimal.
This commit changes the way things works by first doing the restricted
discovery of plugins (as dictated by required_plugins), then proceeding
to the global discovery, with the change that subsequent component
discoveries will not have precedence over those pre-discovered anymore.
This allows us to invert the call order of both discovery phases safely,
and maintains the constraints described in the templates.
When a user defines PACKER_PLUGIN_PATH in their environment, we need to
error if their path defines multiple directories separated by `:`.
This used to be supported, but this is removed with 1.11 as we're
simplifying the loading process for plugins, so we opted to fall-back to
only one plugin directory supported.
