Our test steps handle refreshes very explicitly, which is good. But we
don't actually refresh before applying the step, assuming the previous
step left our state in a good condition.
However, this means that if a config changes the value of a data
source--e.g., for a data source that generates JSON from HCL, as is
common in IAM resources--the data source's value in state won't be
updated before apply, meaning the resources depending on that data
source value will have a stale, incorrect value instead of the one in
the config.
As we advise users to not run Terraform with -refresh=false, this
doesn't mirror the user experience in production and is confusing--I
lost several hours to debugging it.
This PR explicitly runs refresh prior to applying or planning a test
step, so new data source values in the config can be accurately
reflected.
