Bug

If I write a layerform.json like this:

{
  "layers": [
    {
      "name": "foo",
      "files": ["foo.tf"]
    },
    {
      "name"  : "bar",
      "files": ["bar.tf"],
      "dependencies": ["foo", "this_layer_does_not_exist"]
    },
    {
      "name"  : "baz",
      "files": ["baz.tf"],
      "dependencies": ["foo"]
    }
  ]
}

Then run layerform configure on this file, layerform will just panic. See video below:

Solution

We should not assume that all layer listed in dependencies array always exists, we should check if that is the case and fail with a good error message to the user.

This validation can be performed in this method:
