Export Does Not Capture privateIPAllocationMethod For Static IP NICs

[jeffh-cloudflare]

I created several Network Interface objects when defining them in the Azure Portal. I assigned a Static IP to each Network Interface (default is Dynamic).

It doesn't seem like aztfexport reflects cases where a Network interface has a Static IP.

Any time I attempt to run Terraform to apply the configuration, I get the following error message:

Error: creating Network Interface (Subscription: "REDACTED" Resource Group Name: "my_resource_group" Network Interface Name: "vm_01_interface_eth0"): performing CreateOrUpdate: unexpected status 400 (400 Bad Request) with error: PrivateIPAddressMissing: Private IP address is required when privateIPAllocationMethod is Static in IP configuration /subscriptions/REDACTED/resourceGroups/my_resource_group/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/vm_01_interface_eth0/ipConfigurations/ipconfig1.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create Network Interface object
2. Edit properties
3. Settings -> IP congurations
4. Allocation: Static
5. Private IP address: 10.10.10.100 (within subnet in corresponding virtual network)
6. Run aztfexport and select the Resource Group (aztfexport resource-group my_resource_group)
7. Remove Resource Group and all objects via the Azure Portal
8. Run 'terraform apply'

I receive the aforementioned error message within a minute or so.

Hey Jeff,

Is there a reason you're attempting to remove all the resources/resource group in step 7? The tool cannot guarantee perfect repro of the resources that you create in the portal, the list of reasons of which are listed here.

Thanks for getting back to me and sharing that resource with me!

I think I was able to identify the root cause of the issue. I'm about to try it out right now...

I found this message within the main.tf file:

  depends_on = [
    # One of azurerm_subnet.res-23,azurerm_subnet_route_table_association.res-24 (can't auto-resolve as their ids are identical)
  ]
}

I'm trying to see if I can manually resolve this.

I'm a Terraform n00b - so this is all a bit of a stretch right now. I'll get there. :-)

Glad to see you've found this! Feel free to close if this is resolve or re-comment if there are issues.
