Where i can find documentation more detailed for attributes resources for providers?

[VGzsysadm]

Greetings.

I'm using the vsphere provider, but i don't have clarify about how to use this provider through terrascript:

Actually i'm using the following configuration:

config += data.vsphere_datacenter('dc',
    name = "MainDC",
)

config += data.vsphere_resource_pool('pool',
    name = "VW_CLUSTER/Resources",
    datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id
)

returning the following error:

datacenter_id = data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id
AttributeError: type object 'vsphere_datacenter' has no attribute 'dc'

just comparing with this: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs

Im sure tha't i'm doing this wrong, but where i can check atributtes expecteds by classes?

Thanks for your time.

Hi @VGzsysadm, here's some background information to start with.

Terrascript is only a thin wrapper and does not check whether the resulting Terraform configuration is correct.

The data.vsphere_datacenter and all other classes are effectively just "aliases" for terrascript.Data, e.g.

class vsphere_datacenter(terrascript.Data):
    pass

which itself is simply a terrascript.NamedBlock.

class Data(NamedBlock):
    """ Terraform data source block. """

    pass

class NamedBlock(Block):
    def __init__(self, _name, **kwargs):
        self._name = _name
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

So if you take the definition of the vsphere_datacenter data source in Terraform

data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
  name = "dc1"
}

"datacenter" is the name of the block and "dc1" the name attribute of the data source.

Regarding your issue; I am quite out of practice with this but in the data.vsphere_resource_pool, data.vsphere_datacenter is a class and not an instance of a class. Also, if you want to reference the data source you add first you have to "remember" it in a variable.

I haven't tested this but the code below should get you closer.

# Create the data source
dc = data.vsphere_datacenter('dc',
    name = "MainDC",
)

# Add the data source to the config.
config += dc

config += data.vsphere_resource_pool('pool',
    name = "VW_CLUSTER/Resources",
    # Reference the data source
    datacenter_id = dc.id
)

Let me know whether that helped.

Hi mjuenema, thanks for your help.

I still investigating, trying to compare the json generated by terrascript with my terraform HCL.

I will add the solution when the errors gone..

Thanks!!.
