Important Factoids

Attempted to run from MacOS and Debian systems, both results in the same error. I've also run with both the released provider and built the provider from the master branch here. Same results.

I tracked down the provided error here. I also added some janky fmt.Printf "debug" code into the local build of the provider to see what was held in RecordType before it was passed to the namecheap.client but it didn't seem to be wrong in anyway. Perhaps there is a user error here somewhere?

[cyberbutler]

Just to be more concise the RecordType does not pass the CheckRecordType validation in the namecheap module. I cannot figure out why, I've also replicated the validation code with no issues:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
)
var (
    allowedRecordTypes = []string{
        "A", "AAAA", "ALIAS", "CAA", "CNAME", "MX", "MXE", "TXT", "URL", "URL301", "FRAME",
    }
)
func main() {
    if !CheckRecordType("A") {
        fmt.Printf("Invalid record type, allowed types=%s", strings.Join(allowedRecordTypes, ", "))
    } else {
        fmt.Println("We are all good here")
    }
}
func CheckRecordType(recordType string) bool {
    for _, legalRecordType := range allowedRecordTypes {
        if recordType == legalRecordType {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}
