Add timeout configuration for digitalocean_droplet resource

[dfradejas]

Hi,

When you create a big droplet from a snapshot in Digitalocean, it usually spends more than 1 hour creating this droplet. When you do it with terraform, the provider throws a timeout error because default timeout is 1 hour in the provider.

Could be possible to add timeouts block configuration to digitalocean_droplet resources?

Regards, Daniel.

I have proposed #839 as a possible solution but am very open to feedback on choices made.

Hi,

I'm trying to create the resource with timeout configuration, but it is not doing anything, the default timeout (1h) is still present, i can't configure it to, for example, 2 hours.

I am writting this block inside digitalocean_droplet resource and it goes to 1h again: timeouts { create = "1m" }

How can i configure it?

Regards, Daniel

The droplet configuration is:

resource "digitalocean_droplet" "postgres_master_droplet" {
      ...
      timeouts {
          create = "2h"
          delete = "2h"
          update = "2h"
        }
    }

And the error code after an hour:

digitalocean_droplet.postgres_master_droplet: Still creating... [57m51s elapsed]

@dfradejas Looks like we're still missing a needed change here. This should do the trick https://github.com/digitalocean/terraform-provider-digitalocean/pull/867

[dfradejas]

Hi @andrewsomething, do you notice when it is going to be merged that PR?

[NedkoHristov]

Well it has been some time, but still - #828 and #867 are not pushed, and DO is playing games with a combination of the less popular distro and droplet type.

[andrewsomething]

#867 was released as v2.22.3
