The initial implementation of the module testing language included some
elements deeply embedded inside "package terraform", which is primarily
concerned with the traditional Terraform language, which we might now call
the "module language" to distinguish it from the test language and the
stacks language.
That was a reasonable design decision due to the modules runtime needing
to evaluate some expressions in a similar way to how the modules language
does it, but unfortunately it caused the test language runtime to depend
a little too closely on some current implementation details of how the
modules runtime deals with expression evaluation, and those details are
about to change as we teach Terraform to be able to deal with unknown
values in new places, as part of resolving this issue:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/30937
This commit therefore refactors the test runtime a little so that it
doesn't intrude so deeply into the module runtime's business. Instead of
directly extending the module runtime's expression evaluator, we'll
instead call into it in a similar way to how the "terraform console"
command does, by wrapping the evaluation data produced by the module
runtime to extend it with the only two special things that the test
runtime needs: references to the output values of previous runs, and
references to test-only variables that aren't declared as part of the
module under test.
This effectively means that the test runtime can now evaluate a superset
of the expressions that would be valid in the global scope of the module
under test using only the public API of the modules runtime, with no
testing-specific evaluation logic embedded inside the modules runtime.
This new strategy is also somewhat similar to how the stacks runtime calls
into the modules runtime to evaluate components, but the stacks runtime
only actually cares about output values and so doesn't need a full
evaluation scope. This means the result here is a little more symmetrical
with the approach we took in stacks, which will hopefully allow experience
working on one to translate better to the other.
