UPGRADE NOTES:
- config: The
list
andmap
functions, both of which were deprecated since Terraform v0.12, are now removed. You can replace uses of these functions withtolist([...])
andtomap({...})
respectively. [GH-26818] - cli: Interrupting execution will now cause terraform to exit with a non-0 status. [GH-26738]
- backend/atlas: the
atlas
backend, which was deprecated since v0.12, has been removed. [GH-26651] - backend/gcs: The
path
config argument, which was deprecated since v0.11, has been removed. Use theprefix
argument instead. [GH-26841]
ENHANCEMENTS:
- config: Terraform will now emit a warning if you declare a
backend
block in a non-root module. Terraform has always ignored such declarations, but previously did so silently. This is a warning rather than an error only because it is sometimes convenient to temporarily use a root module as if it were a child module in order to test or debug its behavior separately from its main backend. [GH-26954] - cli: Improved support for Windows console UI on Windows 10, including bold colors and underline for HCL diagnostics. [GH-26588]
- cli: The family of error messages with the summary "Invalid for_each argument" will now include some additional context about which external values contributed to the result. [GH-26747]
- cli: Typing an invalid top-level command, like
terraform destory
instead ofdestroy
, will now print out a specific error message about the command being invalid, rather than just printing out the usual help directory. [GH-26967] - provisioner/remote-exec: Can now run in a mode that expects the remote system to be running Windows and excuting commands using the Windows command interpreter, rather than a Unix-style shell. Specify the
target_platform
as"windows"
in theconnection
block. [GH-26865]
BUG FIXES:
- cli: Exit with an error if unable to gather input from the UI. For example, this may happen when running in a non-interactive environment but without
-input=false
. Previously Terraform would interpret these errors as empty strings, which could be confusing. [GH-26509]
