For historical reasons, errors from evaluating unknown or NULL values were handled on the server side rather than on the client side.
https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint/blob/v0.45.0/plugin/server.go#L143-L167

But given that EvaluateExpr is an endpoint that returns a cty.Value, it's preferable to handle this error on the client side.

This PR adds unknown and NULL value handling in plugin2host.GRPCClient.EvaluateExpr. Below are compatibility notes:

  • Before TFLint v0.46
    • Both server-side and client-side are checked for errors. However, the added error is never returned as the error is always returned on the server side only.
  • TFLint v0.46
    • An error is returned on the client side only.

For all host versions, conversion of errors on Protocol Buffers may not be necessary once the server side no longer returns errors, but is currently retained for compatibility reasons.

// ErrUnevaluable is an error when a received expression has unevaluable references.
// Deprecated: This error is no longer returned since TFLint v0.41.
ErrUnevaluable = errors.New("")

The error is removed in terraform-linters/tflint#1510. The ErrUnknownValue is now returned instead.
