HCL now uses a newer version of the upstream cty library which has improved treatment of unknown values: it can now track additional optional information that reduces the range of an unknown value, which allows some operations against unknown values to return known or partially-known results. (#590)
Note: This change effectively passes on cty's notion of backward compatibility whereby unknown values can become "more known" in later releases. In particular, if your caller is using cty.Value.RawEquals in its tests against the results of operations with unknown values then you may see those tests begin failing after upgrading, due to the values now being more "refined".
If so, you should review the refinements with consideration to the cty refinements docs and update your expected results to match only if the reported refinements seem correct for the given situation. The RawEquals method is intended only for making exact value comparisons in test cases, so main application code should not use it; use Equals instead for real logic, which will take refinements into account automatically.
v2.16.2
Bugs Fixed
ext/typeexpr: Verify type assumptions when applying default values, and ignore input values that do not match type assumptions. (#594)
v2.16.1
Bugs Fixed
hclsyntax: Report correct Range.End for FunctionCall with incomplete argument (#588)
v2.16.0
Enhancements
ext/typeexpr: Modify the Defaults functionality to implement additional flexibility. HCL will now upcast lists and sets into tuples, and maps into objects, when applying default values if the applied defaults cause the elements within a target collection to have differing types. Previously, this would have resulted in a panic, now HCL will return a modified overall type. (hashicorp/hcl#574)
Users should return to the advice provided by v2.14.0, and apply the go-cty convert functionality after setting defaults on a given cty.Value, rather than before.
ext/typeexpr: Skip null objects when applying defaults. This prevents crashes when null objects are creating inside collections, and stops incomplete objects being created with only optional attributes set. (#567)
ext/typeexpr: Ensure default values do not have optional metadata attached. This prevents crashes when default values are inserted into concrete go-cty values that have also been stripped of their optional metadata. (#568)
Enhancements
ext/typeexpr: With the go-cty upstream depenendency updated to v1.12.0, the Defaults struct and associated functions can apply additional and more flexible 'unsafe' conversions (examples include tuples into collections such as lists and sets, and additional safety around null and dynamic values). (#564)
ext/typeexpr: With the go-cty upstream depenendency updated to v1.12.0, users should now apply the go-cty convert functionality before setting defaults on a given cty.Value, rather than after, if they require a specific cty.Type. (#564)
v2.14.1
Bugs Fixed
ext/typeexpr: Type convert defaults for optional object attributes when applying them. This prevents crashes in certain cases when the objects in question are part of a collection. (#555)
