Include Resource Private State In Protocol Data Output
bflad opened this issue · comments
terraform-plugin-go version
v0.13.0
Use cases
Using the TF_LOG_SDK_PROTO_DATA_DIR
environment variable, it is possible to output the data being sent between Terraform and providers. This data does not currently include the resource private state, which is managed solely by providers, but must be passed across the protocol to be preserved. It can be helpful to see this data when troubleshooting private state functionality.
Attempted solutions
Viewing private state information via the state file from manual Terraform executions, outside the provider acceptance testing framework.
Proposal
For protocol RPCs that have private state fields, include them in TF_LOG_SDK_PROTO_DATA_DIR
output:
- If empty, writing a
..._{FIELD}.empty
file. - If non-empty, writing the
[]byte
directly to a..._{FIELD}
file.
