but what are the commands to import? I don't see it in the current docs
Hi @Israphel ! Apologies for a delay in getting back to you.
In order to import a resource, you need to add the resource to your terraform file, and then use import
command as described in Terraform docs: https://www.terraform.io/cli/import
For example, if you want to import an Ably app, you need to add something like the following to your terraform file:
resource "ably_app" "app0" {
name = "ably-tf-provider-app-0000"
status = "enabled"
tls_only = true
}
and then run terraform import ably_app.app0 ably-tf-provider-app-0000
.
This will import the corresponding Ably app into your state file.
It is a great idea to add example of this to the docs - we will add example of importing a resource to the docs with the next release to Terraform Registry!
So apps are imported via name, understood. Thanks!
doesn't work. I think you import by ID and not by name
terraform import 'module.ably-app["stage-us"].ably_app.app' 'stage-us'
terraform plan
Terraform v1.0.11
on linux_amd64
module.ably-app["stage-us"].ably_app.app: Modifying... [id=stage-us]
╷

Tried again with:
terraform import 'module.ably-app["stage-us"].ably_app.app' '5Y9M9Q'
and it worked.
@Israphel apologies for a late response, and thanks for highlighting this. This is actually interesting, I am now kind of surprised that my code worked for me because you are correct. Let me investigate this further - and then update the docs accordingly.

We should make sure that such way exists, it is easy and straightforward to do (to the extent Terraform allows it), and it is well documented.
