[Bug] citrix application cannot create 😢

[dimi4ik]

Describe the bug

Summary of the issue

With the new provider version, I am unable to create a Citrix application and receive the following message:

│ The Terraform Provider unexpectedly returned no resource state after having no errors in the resource creation. This is always an issue in the Terraform Provider and should be reported to the provider developers.
│ 
│ The resource may have been successfully created, but Terraform is not tracking it. Applying the configuration again with no other action may result in duplicate resource errors. Import the resource if the resource was actually created and Terraform should be
│ tracking it.

I have now manually created the application via the GUI and imported it with terraform import. After that, I can destroy the application, but unfortunately, I cannot create it again, as I receive the same message.

Terraform command (import, apply, etc): Resource impacted:

Versions

Use the terraform -v command to find the Terraform and Citrix Provider versions. Terraform: citrix/citrix provider: Operation system:

For on-premises customers fill out any that apply with the CU or LTSR version (eg 2402). CVAD (DDC, VDA, etc): Storefront:

}

Terraform console output

Paste the output from Terraform CLI including any errors and the transactionIds if present.

Hi @dimi4ik ,

Is this issue occurring only for this specific application, or are you experiencing similar problems with other applications as well? Could you also try creating the application again using only the essential parameters?

@yashbhokare-citrix The issue occurs with every application, and the root cause seems to be the limit_visibility_to_users parameter. When I run it without this parameter, it works perfectly. Could I kindly ask you to test and fix this?

[yashbhokare-citrix]

Hi @dimi4ik,

Thank you for trying it out. I was able to reproduce the same issue at my end by providing a user who does not exist.

Could you please try to create an application and then try to add the given user using the UI?

Regards, Yash Bhokare
