aviatrix_firewall_instace user_data type string but seems to expect json

[rtrentinavx]

Describe the problem

user_data does not work on GCP for CheckPoint/Fortinet.

To Reproduce

user_data type is string and when a string is used the following error is raised:

│ Error: failed to create a new firewall instance: rest API add_firewall_instance POST failed: invalid user data. Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) │ │ with aviatrix_firewall_instance.firewall_instance, │ on main.tf line 1, in resource "aviatrix_firewall_instance" "firewall_instance": │ 1: resource "aviatrix_firewall_instance" "firewall_instance" {

Expected behavior Controller works with key pair variables and correctly configure the data field under the instance.

Additional data / screenshots Include any relevant tf files.

Environment:

• Provider version: aviatrix_firewall_instance 3.1.1
• Terraform version Terraform v1.5.5
• Aviatrix Controller version 7.1.1906
