[Bug]: glue_data_quality_ruleset rules not supporting multi line string

[vaquarkhan]

Terraform Core Version

v1.5.4

AWS Provider Version

registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v5.59.0

Affected Resource(s)

"glue_data_quality_ruleset" not supporting multiline string <<-EOF EOF

resource "aws_glue_data_quality_ruleset" "this" {
  name        = var.ruleset_name
  description =  var.description  
  ruleset   =   var.rules          #"Rules = [Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8]"
  target_table {
    database_name = var.database_name
    table_name    = var.table_name
  }
  tags        = var.tags
}

in terraform.auto.tfvars i am using

rules         = "Rules = [Completeness \"vendorid\" between 0.4 and 0.8, Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8,IsComplete \"vendorid\" , ColumnLength \"vendorid\" <= 91 ,Uniqueness \"vendorid\" > 0.95]"

Code is working without issue now better readability i am changing this to multi line string

rules         = <<-EOF
                  "Rules = [
                            Completeness \"vendorid\" between 0.4 and 0.8, 
                            Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8,
                            IsComplete \"vendorid\" ,
                            ColumnLength \"vendorid\" <= 91 ,
                            Uniqueness \"vendorid\" > 0.95
                          ]"
                EOF

Now code is failed with following error message

│ {
│   RespMetadata: {
│     StatusCode: 400,
│     RequestID: "f82fff7e-8210-4b9b-b9f8-4242ebaa66e7"

Expected Behavior

Should work without issue in both string single line vs multiline

Actual Behavior

Failed with error

│   RespMetadata: {

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet

No response

Terraform Configuration Files

main.tf, outputs.tf ,varibles.tf

Steps to Reproduce

Use code and tfvars file

1. Create a Glue database using console
2. Create a table in database using crawler you can use simple csv and add crawler
3. After successfully run crawler you can see table and data
4. now run terraform using single line and see all working as expected now change to multiline and see errors i share above

Hey @vaquarkhan 👋 Thank you for taking the time to raise this! Based on the configuration provided, I believe the issue is with your heredoc string (the reference for which may be found here). You're wrapping your string in quotes, escaping where necessary. This isn't needed in heredoc, so literally quotes will be sent with your request.

Can you try removing the quotes and testing again to verify that resolves the issue? I don't have a quick way of testing this on my end, but based on the example content you provided, it should look something like:

rules         = <<-EOF
                  Rules = [
                            Completeness "vendorid" between 0.4 and 0.8, 
                            Completeness "id" between 0.4 and 0.8,
                            IsComplete "vendorid",
                            ColumnLength "vendorid" <= 91,
                            Uniqueness "vendorid" > 0.95
                          ]
                EOF

@justinretzolk r u looking any other information . please let me know if i can help you to fix issue

[justinretzolk]

Hey @vaquarkhan 👋 Thanks for the follow up here. Looks like this was a misunderstanding of the requirements on my part. The API doesn't appear to accept a multiline sting, so while you can adjust your Terraform configuration to make it a bit more readable, you'll need the end result to be a single line string with quotes escaped where needed.

I threw together a sample configuration that achieves something similar:

variable "rules" {
  type = list(string)
  default = [
    "Completeness \"vendorid\" between 0.4 and 0.8",
    "Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8",
    "IsComplete \"vendorid\"",
    "ColumnLength \"vendorid\" <= 91",
    "Uniqueness \"vendorid\" > 0.95"
  ]
}

output "ruleset" {
  value = "Rules = [${join(", ", var.rules)}]"
}

Results:

$ terraform apply --auto-approve

Changes to Outputs:
  + ruleset = "Rules = [Completeness \"vendorid\" between 0.4 and 0.8, Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8, IsComplete \"vendorid\", ColumnLength \"vendorid\" <= 91, Uniqueness \"vendorid\" > 0.95]"

You can apply this plan to save these new output values to the Terraform state, without changing any real infrastructure.

Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

ruleset = "Rules = [Completeness \"vendorid\" between 0.4 and 0.8, Completeness \"id\" between 0.4 and 0.8, IsComplete \"vendorid\", ColumnLength \"vendorid\" <= 91, Uniqueness \"vendorid\" > 0.95]"

Can you give that a shot and see if it resolves your issue?
