Terarfrom plan fails on Megaport Staging Environment after resource cleanup

[Kostoprav19]

Hello!

I am trying to create CD pipeline that will test Terraform code in Megaport Staging environment on Merge request. Megaport Staging environment is overwritten every 24 hours and synchronized with the production environment. So any changes that were deployed and saved in Terraform state are deleted. https://docs.megaport.com/troubleshooting/staging/

code that I am running

resource "megaport_port" "ipxgrx" {
  product_name           = "${var.name_prefix}-Port"
  port_speed             = var.ipxgrx_port_speed
  location_id            = data.megaport_location.this.id
  contract_term_months   = var.ipxgrx_port_contract_term_months
  marketplace_visibility = var.marketplace_visibility
  cost_centre            = var.cost_centre
}

My expectation is that when Terraform plan detects that resources are gone it will not fail but will try to recreate them (as Terraform is declarative infrastructure management tool).

But instead I get error while running terraform plan

This is expected behavior with how terraform handles state. You could try terraform apply -refresh-only, see the documentation here.

@mega-alex unfortunately it does not work in this case. Here is my example in Staging Portal where all resources where removed.

terraform apply -var-file test-config.tfvars -refresh-only -auto-approve

The PR waiting on an API change to go in, but after that this should work and recreate resources that are missing in the staging environment.
