Terraform fails to import `flux_bootstrap_git` if `GitRepository` name is not `flux-system`

[jamiezieziula]

I am attempting to import my existing flux implementation to the new terraform resource - I am getting the following error: Config:

resource "flux_bootstrap_git" "cluster_deployment" {
  depends_on = [
    github_repository_deploy_key.cluster_deployment
  ]
  path = "cluster/dev"
}

Error:

tf import flux_bootstrap_git.cluster_deployment flux-system
│ Error: Could not get GitRepository flux-system/flux-system
│ 
│ gitrepositories.source.toolkit.fluxcd.io "flux-system" not found 

my existing GitRepository name in my cluster is cluster-deployment, but it appears the import command expects it to be flux-system. Is there anyway to add a parameter to specify the existing gitrepo name?

Could you try running the following import command instead?

tf import flux_bootstrap_git.cluster_deployment cluster-deployment

Could you try running the following import command instead?

tf import flux_bootstrap_git.cluster_deployment cluster-deployment

i used this import command :

terraform  import -var-file=var_template.tfvars flux_bootstrap_git.this flux-system 

and was getting same error :

Could not get GitRepository flux-system/flux-system

then i added new GitRepository(temporarily) named flux-system and it worked one step ahead but failed next :

Could not get Kustomization flux-system/flux-system

@phillebaba : on trying your suggestion as above , it works for GitRepository and Kustomization (with their original names, not flux-system) but then it fails giving

terraform  import -var-file=var_template.tfvars flux_bootstrap_git.this kconfig

Could not get Deployment kconfig/kustomize-controller 
deployments.apps "kustomize-controller" not found

seems it then looks for deployment in kconfig namespace instead of flux-system

[navpreet-securitas]

seems that as of now its is not supported to use names except flux-system for gitrepo and kustomization. [Need to be able to specify Kustomization and GitRepository names](https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux/issues/494)

and tf import expect namespace name, not gitrepo name https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux/blob/main/docs/resources/bootstrap_git.md#import

If you have already bootstrapped your cluster I would highly recommend deploying flux2 using the upstream helm chart, see example here and not using the flux_bootstrap_git resource. This resource expects a fresh cluster and fresh repository which you don't have.
