func NormalizeObjectFromLegacySDK ¶

func NormalizeObjectFromLegacySDK(val cty.Value, schema *configschema.Block) cty.Value

NormalizeObjectFromLegacySDK takes an object that may have been generated by the legacy Terraform SDK (i.e. returned from a provider with the UnsafeToUseLegacyTypeSystem opt-out set) and does its best to normalize it for the assumptions we would normally enforce if the provider had not opted out.

In particular, this function guarantees that a value representing a nested block will never itself be unknown or null, instead representing that as a non-null value that may contain null/unknown values.

The input value must still conform to the implied type of the given schema, or else this function may produce garbage results or panic. This is usually okay because type consistency is enforced when deserializing the value returned from the provider over the RPC wire protocol anyway.
