Add Fir generation validation for `heroku_build` resource #406

heroku-johnny · 2025-09-17T22:43:08Z

Description

Work Item: W-19048403 [terraform-provider-heroku] Fir Compatibility: Builds

This PR implements Fir generation validation for the heroku_build resource, preventing incompatible buildpack configurations for Fir apps while maintaining full backward compatibility with traditional Cedar buildpack workflows.

Key Features

Build validation: Automatic blocking of buildpacks for Fir generation apps
CNB compatibility: Clear guidance directing users to Cloud Native Buildpacks via project.toml
Plan & apply validation: Two-layer validation for comprehensive error handling
Consistent UX: Aligns with Heroku CLI behavior preventing silent API failures

Changes

Feature Matrix Enhancement

Add build-specific features to generation matrix (buildpacks vs cloud_native_buildpacks)
Cedar generation: Supports traditional buildpack URLs and configurations
Fir generation: Blocks traditional buildpacks, supports Cloud Native Buildpacks via project.toml

Build Resource Validation

Add plan-time validation with dependency-aware logic in CustomizeDiff
Add apply-time validation preventing misleading API "success"
Implement comprehensive error handling with actionable user guidance
Add acceptance tests with real API validation (2 test scenarios)
Update documentation with generation examples and CNB migration guidance

Usage Examples

# Cedar generation - traditional buildpacks (works as before)
resource "heroku_build" "cedar_build" {
  app_id     = heroku_app.cedar_app.id
  buildpacks = ["heroku/nodejs", "heroku/procfile"]
  
  source {
    path = "path/to/source"
  }
}

# Fir generation - Cloud Native Buildpacks only
resource "heroku_build" "fir_build" {
  app_id = heroku_app.fir_app.id  # App in Fir space
  # No buildpacks - configured via project.toml in source
  
  source {
    path = "path/to/cnb/source"  # Contains project.toml
  }
}

# This will FAIL with clear error:
resource "heroku_build" "invalid" {
  app_id     = heroku_app.fir_app.id
  buildpacks = ["heroku/nodejs"]  # ❌ Error at apply time
  
  source {
    path = "path/to/source"
  }
}

Error Handling

Apply-time validation prevents invalid configurations:
"Error: buildpacks cannot be specified for fir generation apps. Use project.toml to configure Cloud Native Buildpacks instead. See: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/using-multiple-buildpacks-for-an-app"

Test Coverage

Comprehensive unit tests for feature matrix validation (4 test cases)
Acceptance test scenarios with real API validation:
- Cedar build with buildpacks (success)
- Fir build without buildpacks (success)
- Fir build with buildpacks (apply-time error)
Manual validation confirmed end-to-end error handling

Documentation Updates

Generation compatibility section with Cedar vs Fir comparison
Cloud Native Buildpacks guidance with project.toml examples
Updated examples showing both Cedar and Fir generation usage
Clear migration path from traditional buildpacks to CNB

Technical Implementation

DRY validation logic: Shared helper functions for consistent behavior
Two-layer validation: Plan-time (when possible) + apply-time (guaranteed)
Dependency handling: Graceful plan-time behavior when app doesn't exist yet
API behavior fix: Prevents misleading "success" when buildpacks are silently ignored

Breaking Changes: None
Backward Compatible: Yes (no generation field added to build resource)
Foundation: Extends existing feature matrix framework from previous fir compatibility PRs
Dependencies: Requires feature matrix foundation and app generation detection from previous PRs

Changes: - App 'generation' field is now computed-only (was optional) - Apps in Fir spaces automatically get generation = 'fir' - Apps in Cedar spaces (or no space) get generation = 'cedar' Core Improvements: -

Changed space-scoped drain from logs-only to traces+metrics - Updated endpoint from otlp to otlphttp format - Resolves API parameter validation error in acceptance tests * Remove space-scoped drain from acceptance test - Space-scoped telemetry drains encounter API validation issues - Simplified to test only app-scoped drains which work reliably - Acceptance test now passes both locally and on CI * Make headers required for telemetry drains and add space-scoped drain test - API testing revealed headers are required for all telemetry drains - Updated schema to make headers required instead of optional - Added space-scoped telemetry drain back to acceptance test with headers -
