"openvpncloud_service" strange output every "terraform plan"

[sahaqaa]

Hello, I'm trying to create resource "openvpncloud_service" with next code:

resource "openvpncloud_service" "name" {
  name              = "test1234"
  type              = "IP_SOURCE"
  description       = "test"
  routes            = ["10.0.0.2/32"]
  network_item_type = "NETWORK"
  network_item_id   = data.openvpncloud_network.mynetwork.network_id
}

When i execute "terraform apply" -> resource being created OK, but when i re-run "terraform plan" i see next output:

  # openvpncloud_service.name will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "openvpncloud_service" "name" {
        id                = "0a88ff52-30e3-466c-8149-a78b35900e66"
        name              = "test1234"
      ~ routes            = [
          - "",
          + "10.0.0.2/32",
        ]
        # (4 unchanged attributes hidden)

      - config {
          - service_types = [
              - "ANY",
            ] -> null
        }
    }

Interesting that when i open WebUI of CloudConnexa and navigate to this menu in UI -> before and after applying -> in UI there is no visible changes.

In file "resource_service.go" section "config" is not marked as "required", but without it Terraform plan shows output above ^^

  config {
    service_types = ["ANY"]
  }

When i add "config" section and try to apply terraform with next block:

resource "openvpncloud_service" "name" {
  name              = "test1234"
  type              = "IP_SOURCE"
  description       = "test"
  routes            = ["10.0.0.2/32"]
  network_item_type = "NETWORK"
  network_item_id   = data.openvpncloud_network.mynetwork.network_id

  config {
    service_types = ["ANY"]
  }
}

i see next output:

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # openvpncloud_service.name will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "openvpncloud_service" "name" {
        id                = "0a88ff52-30e3-466c-8149-a78b35900e66"
        name              = "test1234"
      ~ routes            = [
          - "",
          + "10.0.0.2/32",
        ]
        # (4 unchanged attributes hidden)

        # (1 unchanged block hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

I don't understand what can i do with "routes" so "terraform plan" would not show-up "changes"

I ran into this bug also. A work-around is

  # TODO workaround for https://github.com/OpenVPN/terraform-provider-openvpn-cloud/issues/80
  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      routes,
    ]
  }

Be aware that if the route ever needs to change after initial creation, this should be removed.

I think this is a bad solution, terraform needs to be dynamic, in my use case every day a new route can be added, and this will prevent it from running...

for me, this is a big problem because it fails my drift detection

Please give new provider a try, hopefully it will fix your issue.
