Import multiple resource groups into one state file.

[Akky8055]

Is there any way to import multiple resource groups in one single state.

I tried to --append command but fails.

I ran below commands on single empty dir. Sorry I'm new to this. Aztfy rg "rg name1" aztfy --append rg "rg name2"

Error: flag provided but not defined: -append

Error:

Hi @Akky8055 try aztfy rg —append:)

You will also need to differentiate each set of resources by resource group within the generated .tf file otherwise you get the default "res-" prefix generated for each resource imported from each resource group - this will lead to immediate collisions with the "azurerm_resource_group.res-0" resource generated for each resource group

You get around this by invoking -p or --pattern { rg_specific_string } when you invoke aztfy

aztfy rg --append -p { rg_specific_string } { rg_name }

This will allow you to run aztfy rg --append multiple times in the same directory and it will ensure that there are no collisions in the exported/generated code

Of course you will still need to deal with the static/explicit dependencies, and re/create your modules from the exported .tfstate/ generated .tf files - but at least you don;t have to write it all from scratch

@Akky8055 Instead of running the rg subcommand with --append multiple times, you can try the query subcommand to query multiple resource groups under a subscription.

Since we haven't get further response from you, I'll mark this issue as closed for now. Feel free to reopen it if the issue still remains.
