The slices package provides type-safe generic replacements for the
old typed sort convenience functions. The codebase already uses
slices.Sort in 43 call sites; this finishes the migration for the
remaining 29.
- sort.Strings(x) -> slices.Sort(x)
- sort.Float64s(x) -> slices.Sort(x)
- sort.StringsAreSorted(x) -> slices.IsSorted(x)
Typos and other errors often result in invalid presets in a template.
Coder would import these broken templates and present them to users when
they create workspaces. An unsuspecting user who chooses a broken preset
would then experience a failed workspace build with no obvious error
message.
This PR adds additional validation beyond what is possible in the
Terraform provider schema. Coder will now present a more helpful error
message to template authors when they upload a new template version:

/>
The frontend warning is less helpful right now, but I'd like to address
that in a follow-up since I need frontend help:
