Terraform Version

Terraform v1.0.2 provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google v3.75.0

Affected Resource(s)

resource "google_monitoring_alert_policy"

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "google_monitoring_alert_policy" "alert_policy" {
  display_name = "test_alert"
  combiner     = "OR"
  conditions {
    display_name = "condition"

      duration = "300s"
    }
  }
  user_labels = {
    owner = "sre"
  }
}

Expected Behavior

As you can see from the Terraform Plan output it will create one resource - an alerting policy within GCP's Monitoring.

Actual Behavior

Expected type 'Duration' but got 'String'.

It complains that the duration argument needs to be in the data type 'Duration' and not a string. Is it possible to cast a Duration data type? However, if I then remove the string and make it an integer I get the following error.

Illegal duration format; duration must end with 's'

Doesn't that then mean it has to be a string? It seems to contradict itself.

Here is what's on the Terraform Docs for Duration:

This appears to be an API bug. Duration in below request is working
