Terraform v0.14.0-rc1 Released

Terraform
15

In testing 0.14.0-rc1, I’ve come across an issues which appear to be a regression. Unless this is already tracked elsewhere, I’ll go ahead and open a new for this in github.

Issue: terraform output no longer respects newline characters

I used to get…

my_out = This is a
multiline
string.

but now I get:

my_out = This is a\nmultiline\nstring.

This is problematic since I have several modules which render outputs with URLs for the user to click on - those are now completely mashed and the multi-line output is no longer readable.

By chance, is this known/expected with 0.14.0-rc?

UPDATE: second issue regarding invalid auto-reformat:

I also noted that running terraform fmt on my existing project created a few syntax errors due to incorrect handling of parenthesis…

locals {
  value_a = ([
    [1,2,3],
    [1]
  ])
  value_b = 4
}

…becomes syntactically invalid after terraform fmt:

locals {
  value_a = ([
    [1, 2, 3],
    [1]
    ]
  ) value_b = 4
}

UPDATE: GitHub issues logged here and here.
