Hey @reach2me. Thanks for reaching out to us.

It seems that you were using the really old provider version (preSnowflake one) before. Did you check the CZI_UPGRADE doc?

[reach2me]

@sfc-gh-asawicki Problem is when running locally terraform its working as expected without issue but the issue with cicd pipeline. check my the terraform configuration above source = "Snowflake-Labs/snowflake". could be pipline somehow cached with old chanzuckerberg/snowflake

the issue might configuration was already used to create some remote objects using the chanzuckerberg/snowflake provider then Terraform will be tracking in the state that those existing objects belong to that provider.

solution doesn't work which is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75998221/terraform-snowflake-provider-change-error-incompatible-provider-version

terraform state replace-provider 'chanzuckerberg/snowflake' 'Snowflake-Labs/snowflake'

[sfc-gh-asawicki]

Hey @reach2me. From what I see in your .gitlab-ci config, you have the incorrect order:

    - "terraform init -upgrade"
    - "terraform state replace-provider 'chanzuckerberg/snowflake' 'Snowflake-Labs/snowflake'"

the one listed in the docs is:

    - "terraform state replace-provider 'chanzuckerberg/snowflake' 'Snowflake-Labs/snowflake'"
    - "terraform init -upgrade"

Can you try if this helps?

@sfc-gh-asawicki

thanks, after arranging in order, getting different error.

$ terraform state replace-provider 'chanzuckerberg/snowflake' 'Snowflake-Labs/snowflake'
Backend reinitialization required. Please run "terraform init".
Reason: Initial configuration of the requested backend "gcs"

The "backend" is the interface that Terraform uses to store state,
perform operations, etc. If this message is showing up, it means that the
Terraform configuration you're using is using a custom configuration for
the Terraform backend.

Changes to backend configurations require reinitialization. This allows
Terraform to set up the new configuration, copy existing state, etc. This is
only done during "terraform init". Please run that command now then try again.

If the change reason above is incorrect, please verify your configuration
hasn't changed and try again. At this point, no changes to your existing
configuration or state have been made.

Error loading the state: Initialization required. Please see the error message above.

Please ensure that your Terraform state exists and that you've
configured it properly. You can use the "-state" flag to point
Terraform at another state file.

@reach2me it seems you are initializing the gcs backend for the first time. Is this really the case?

Also, I would advise bumping in smaller steps. There is a migration guide summarizing the manual changes needed between newer versions (https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/terraform-provider-snowflake/blob/main/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md#migration-guide). Please at least split the upgrade into the following steps:

• change the provider only (no version bump, stay on 0.47.0, no additional changes beyond the ones needed for the https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/terraform-provider-snowflake/blob/main/CZI_UPGRADE.md)
• bump the version to 0.73.0
• bump version by version according to the migration guidelines mentioned

[sfc-gh-asawicki]

Hey @reach2me. Did you manage to migrate to the newest provider version using smaller steps?

Closing due to inactivity. Please create a new issue if the problems persist in the newest provider version.
