Import a S3 Bucket from a different region of my global provider #13750

Closed nilo closed 7 years ago

nilo commented 7 years ago

Hi there, The problem: I have an S3 Bucket with my states on ca-central-1 and all my other infra are on us-east-2. I never created anything on us-east-2 when I ran terraform apply I can't create a Bucket resource on ca-central-1 that already exists, so I need to import it using something like: terraform import aws_s3_bucket.bucket states-terraform-stage. When I do this I get this error: 

Error importing: 1 error(s) occurred:

* aws_s3_bucket.bucket (import id: states-terraform-stage): import aws_s3_bucket.bucket (id: states-terraform-stage): Error importing AWS S3 bucket policy: BucketRegionError: incorrect region, the bucket is not in 'us-east-2' region
        status code: 301, request id: , host id:

Terraform is trying to import the resource from us-east-2 and not from ca-central-1. A -region= option should resolve the problem.

Terraform Version

0.9.3

Affected Resource(s)

Expected Behavior

import an s3 bucket from another region.

Actual Behavior

It is trying to import a bucket from the same region of the provider.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an S3 bucket on ca-central-1 using AWS console eg: states-tr
  2. Create a S3 bucket config aws_s3_bucket with the provider point to ca-central-1 with the same name
  3. Create all you infra on us-east-2
  4. Try to import it using: terraform import aws_s3_bucket.bucket states-tr

Hey @nilo, thanks for the issue!

If you specify the correct provider for the ca-central-1 region does the import work? ie: 

$ terraform import -provider=ca-central-provider aws_s3_bucket.bucket states-tr

That's what I was looking for @grubernaut thanks!

Is there a minimum version of terraform where this works? I keep getting errors still on v.0.8.8

i am using latest version of terraform with s3 backend KMS and server side encryption and this work fine for me. Terraform v0.11.6 terraform import -provider=aws aws_s3_bucket.bucket_tfstates tfstates-dockerswarm-1

The resources that were imported are shown above. These resources are now in your Terraform state and will henceforth be managed by Terraform.
