v0.5.3

Upgrade notes

Upgrading to this release may fail until you've applied one of the fixes documented in #187 (comment). Consumers of the Packer plugin SDK require a replace directive within their plugin's go module file to point to a compatible version of go-cty.

The replace directive subject to change in future releases can be applied by running the packer-sdc fix sub-command to apply the replace directive to your plugin with a recommended version of the go-cty fork.

Plugins already working with Packer Plugin SDK v0.5.2 are advised to apply the updated SDK fixes by re-running packer-sdc fix against the plugin's root directory.

v0.5.2

Upgrade Notes

Upgrading to this release may fail until you've applied one of the fixes documented in packer-plugin-sdk#187. Consumers of the Packer plugin SDK require a replace directive within their plugin's go module file to point to a compatible version of go-cty. The replace directive subject to change in future releases can be applied by running the packer-sdc fix sub-command to apply the replace directive to your plugin with a recommended version of the go-cty fork.

Plugins already working with Packer Plugin SDK v0.5.1 are advised to apply the updated SDK fixes by re-running packer-sdc fix against the plugin's root directory. The updated SDK fixes will bump the supported version of the go-cty fork to v1.13.3, which is required for working with hcl/v2 version 2.17.0 and above.

• Bumped github.com/zclconf/go-cty to v1.13.1: to bring in the latest supported changes of zclconf/go-cty and hashicorp/hcl/v2 to the SDK.
• Bumped github.com/hashicorp/hcl/v2 to v2.19.1: to bring in support for the latest HCL/v2 refinements builder and enhancements. Refinements are non-breaking changes but you may see some changed results in your unit test of operations involving unknown values.
• Updated packer-sdc fix: to upgrade the replace version for github.com/nywilken/go-cty from v1.12.1 to v1.13.3.

v0.5.1

Upgrade Notes

This release is a fast follow to v0.5.0, which broke the installation of the packer-sdc command due to an invalid go.mod file. The v0.5.0 release has been retracted and should not be used. Consumers of the Packer Plugin SDK should update to v0.5.1. Upgrading to this release will fail until you've applied one of the fixes documented in packer-plugin-sdk#187. We ask that you carefully review this section for details on the released changes.

• Retracted v0.5.0: the v0.5.0 SDK release was broken because of the replace statement for go-cty. #199
• Gob supported compile time check: we added a Go compile time check to the SDK for validating that a plugins' version of github.com/zclconf/go-cty contains encoding/gob support for cty.Type and cty.Value. #189
• Bumped the github.com/zclconf/go-cty to v1.12.1: to bring in the latest supported changes of zclconf/go-cty and hashicorp/hcl/v2 to the SDK. Consumers of the Packer plugin SDK now require a replace directive within their plugin's go module file to point to a compatible version of go-cty. The packer-sdc command has been updated to help apply these types of fixes. #197
• Added a fix command to packer-sdc: to help with the manual intervention and future changes to the SDK, we've introduced a fix sub-command to apply the replace directive to your plugin with a recommended version of the go-cty fork. #190, #198

v0.5.0

Advisory ⚠️

This release breaks the installation of the packer-sdc command using go install github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk/cmd/packer-sdc@v0.5.0. Please hold-off upgrading for now, as we work on a fix for this issue and re-release the SDK.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Upgrade Notes

This release contains changes to the API that introduce compatibility constraints for zclconf/go-cty. Namely, the bundled version of go-cty used by the SDK is now provided via a fork to resolve the encoding/gob incompatibility issue introduced by the breaking change in zclconf/go-cty v1.11.0. Before upgrading we ask that you carefully review this section and refer to packer-plugin-sdk#187 for details on upgrading your plugin dependencies.

• Gob supported compile time check: we added a Go compile time check to the SDK for validating that a plugins' version of github.com/zclconf/go-cty contains encoding/gob support for cty.Type and cty.Value. GH-189
• Replaced github.com/zclconf/go-cty with a temporary fork: to avoid introducing a major breaking change to the plugin API, we've created a temporary fork of github.com/zclconf/go-cty containing support for gob encoding to use in place of the upstream go-cty package. Consumers of the Packer plugin SDK now require a replace directive within their plugin's go module file to point to a compatible version of go-cty. The packer-sdc command has been updated to help apply these types of fixes. GH-189
• Added a fix command to packer-sdc: to help with the manual intervention and future changes to the SDK, we've introduced a fix sub-command to apply the replace directive to your plugin with a recommended version of the fork. GH-190

Notes

Previously the sub-command packer-sdc mapstructure-to-hcl would ignore duplicate fields in the generated HCL schema file, which sometimes resulted in configuration input attributes being removed from the schema. The command has been updated to error, as opposed to warn, when a duplicate possible conflicting mapstructure field is found to aid plugin developers. We've marked this release a minor release because the new behavior may be breaking to some plugin components. Any new reported conflicting input attributed should be rename or consolidated if possible. GH-164

NOTES

There's been a change in the way the ssh_timeout option and the ssh_handshake_attempts work together, the behaviour is unchanged if both or none are specified, however if only one of the two is set, the other won't have a default value anymore and will be ignored.
