Feature request: add support for resource import (zones/records) about terraform-provider-powerdns HOT 6 CLOSED

Have a prototype of zone import already working

configuration:

resource "powerdns_zone" "test_com" {
  name = "test.com."
  kind = "Master"

  nameservers = formatlist("%s.", keys(local.pdns_servers))
}

$ terraform import powerdns_zone.test_com '{"name": "test.com."}'
Acquiring state lock. This may take a few moments...
powerdns_zone.test_com: Importing from ID "{\"name\": \"test.com.\"}"...
powerdns_zone.test_com: Import prepared!
  Prepared powerdns_zone for import
powerdns_zone.test_com: Refreshing state... [id=test.com.]

Import successful!

The resources that were imported are shown above. These resources are now in
your Terraform state and will henceforth be managed by Terraform.

Releasing state lock. This may take a few moments...
ck. This may take a few moments...
powerdns_zone.test_com: Importing from ID "{\"name\": \"test.com.\"}"...
powerdns_zone.test_com: Import prepared!
  Prepared powerdns_zone for import
powerdns_zone.test_com: Refreshing state... [id=test.com.]

Import successful!

state show:

terraform state show powerdns_zone.test_com
# powerdns_zone.test_com:
resource "powerdns_zone" "test_com" {
    id          = "test.com."
    kind        = "Master"
    name        = "test.com."
    nameservers = [
        "pdns-01.test.com.",
        "pdns-02.test.com.",
    ]
}

and a plan after import:

powerdns_zone.test_com: Refreshing state... [id=test.com.]

No changes. Infrastructure is up-to-date.

I'll keep working on the same for record resource and will also add tests.

from terraform-provider-powerdns.

since this is deleting any record with an empty rrSet, shouldn't this line be d.SetId("") after a successful delete?

You're right here, but the fix most likely will involve touching other places so I've opened another issue to track this.

@dannyk81 Using schema.ImportStatePassthrough wouldn’t work?

from terraform-provider-powerdns.

@splashx indeed that was my initial attempt, but using schema.ImportStatePassthrough comes with a challenge: "This function requires the Read function to be able to refresh the entire resource with d.Id() ONLY." https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/resources/import.html#importer-state-function

1. with the zone resource, I believe I have a working solution - however it requires changes to the Read and Exists methods, I will push this soon for you to take a look at. Edit: additionally, the Read didn't fetch the zone nameservers which are required attribute for the resource, so I'm adding that as well.

2. with the record resource, this is tricky - since we need both the Zone name and the Record ID to be able to retrieve the RR Set.

@splashx just pushed latest changes.

1. zone resource uses schema.ImportStatePassthrough
2. tests for importing added to both

I think this is ready for a review, let me know what you think 😄

@splashx have a question about https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-powerdns/blob/3d8c32c5ffe7c6e7932886a86f94d7e51f94eef9/powerdns/resource_powerdns_record.go#L101
