Creating group with aliases in single plan fails

[dortort]

Creating a group with aliases often causes:

Error: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing

or at times, will stall at Still creating... and finally return the error:

Error: [ERROR] Error creating group: googleapi: Error 409: Entity already exists., duplicate

Creating the group without aliases in one "apply" and then adding the aliases in a following "apply" succeeds.

Hi @dortort - thank you for reporting this issue.

Can you try if you still have this issue with this branch? https://github.com/DeviaVir/terraform-provider-gsuite/pull/143

You can run make dev from that branch, which will install into your ~/.terraform.d

Closing, including this in release 0.1.48 - feel free to reopen if this is still an issue in that release.

I've tried with v0.1.50 and still encountered the issue. Despite the error, the group is created, but without any aliases. The group creation, however, is not recorded in the state.

That's an interesting error. Do you mind trying with 0.1.52? I was not able to reproduce that error but I was able to create a group with aliases in a single apply using that version.

I'll try. Here's the snippet I'm using, BTW:

resource "gsuite_group" "simple_forward" {
  count = length(var.email_forwards)

  name    = var.email_forwards[count.index].name
  email   = var.email_forwards[count.index].email
  aliases = lookup(var.email_forwards[count.index], "aliases", [])
}

resource "gsuite_group_member" "simple_forward" {
  count = length(var.email_forwards)

  group = var.email_forwards[count.index].email
  email = var.email_forwards[count.index].forward_to
}

Perhaps the issue is related to the use of a loop?
