Error: Incompatible provider version since version ~> 0.3

[eexit]

Hello,

Since version ~> 0.3, I'm getting incompatible provider error:

│ Error: Incompatible provider version
│ 
│ Provider registry.terraform.io/ugns/bref v0.3.2 does not have a package
│ available for your current platform, linux_amd64.
│ 
│ Provider releases are separate from Terraform CLI releases, so not all
│ providers are available for all platforms. Other versions of this provider
│ may have different platforms supported.

Provider config:

bref = {
      source  = "ugns/bref"
      version = "~> 0.3"
}

We are using:

Terraform v1.4.4 on linux_amd64

Any clue?

Thanks!

[jbouse]

Hmm... that is interesting. I see the linux_386, linux_amd64, linux_arm, and linux_arm64 artifacts on the release...

[jbouse]

I am thinking this may be an issue with the Terraform Registry since changing the organization from UGNS to ugns. When I go to the site it's still showing it capitalized but when I try to test locally performing the terraform init I get the same result.

[jbouse]

Indications due seem to agree with that theory... The last version I'm able to set is version = "0.2.0" which was the last version before I changed the organization name to lowercase. I'll try to open a ticket with the registry.

Yes, we had to pin to that version on our side.

Thanks!

[jbouse]

I've got a ticket opened with Terraform Registry, and as soon as I have some resolution, I'll let you know.

Thank you for your contribution.

Just an update... Still radio silence from Hashicorp but I have confirmed the issue is on their side with my org change from UGNS to ugns... When I tried to access the new v0.3.3 release via https://registry.terraform.io/v1/providers/ugns/bref/0.3.3/download/linux/amd64 I get the error message of {"errors":["signing key A616887B07872891 not found for UGNS"]} which is the right GPG key signing the release but it's registed with the ugns namespace and I can no longer add it back under UGNS namespace. It appears like they [Hashicorp] are treating the namespace as both case-insensitive and case-sensitive under different contexts. Even if you add it as UGNS/bref in the required_providers source you will note the init process will display it attempting to download as ugns/bref.

Have you tried to set a new PGP key? Maybe it's needed when renaming an org. No idea. Will this break previous versions if you do so?

Thanks for the update 👍🏻

[jbouse]

The key is uploaded and listed under the ugns namespace, but it is trying to look for it under the UGNS namespace. I can not upload any keys to the UGNS namespace now that I've changed it to lowercase.

[jbouse]

Going back into my Hashicorp support tickets this was original an issue I opened up 2 years ago with them when I changed the organization case to be lowercase and they still haven't resolved it because I'm not paying them for support.

[eexit]

Oh gosh... and I guess reverting to uppercase won't solve the issue either?

Thanks for the update!

[jbouse]

Probably not... it also only affects providers, not modules, as only the provider releases are GPG signed. My modules are a mix of uppercase and lowercase, depending on when they were set up (before or after the change), and they work fine. I'm only having this issue with my provider.

[jbouse]

So looks like Hashicorp won't ever get to resolving this issue with name changes or ability to remove the provider/module so it could be re-published, so that leaves me with the option of change my organization name or change the repo name... I created a fork of this repo as terraform-provider-brefphp and published that and it is working fine now... https://registry.terraform.io/providers/ugns/brefphp/latest

[eexit]

Hi @jbouse,

Thank you! It would be worth trying deleting the repo and re-creating? Maybe that's the workaround?

[jbouse]

No, because the issue is on Hashicorp's side, not GitHub's... GitHub operates in a case-insensitive manner in this regard, and UGNS/terraform-provider-bref and ugns/terraform-provider-bref go to the same destination... The Hashicorp Registry does the same, sort of, in that UGNS/bref and ugns/bref display the same information, the issue is when you go to require the provider it looks for the GPG key with the namespace in a case-sensitive manner, so UGNS vs. ugns are two entirely different meanings in this regard.

Deleting the GitHub repo will stay the same because the Hashicorp Registry already believes it has been published, and Hashicorp doesn't provide any means to unpublish/delete once published. What they need is a means to update the namespace, but they don't offer the community with any viable support. They only offer support if you pay for service, which completely disregards the community producing providers that don't pay despite encouraging community development.

[eexit]

Sorry, I meant the registry, not the Github repo.

[jbouse]

If I could delete the registry and then re-publish, that would solve the issue, but Hashicorp doesn't provide any means to delete once published. Once it's set up and published the first time, the only option you're given is to synchronize the webhook, nothing to update the namespace or delete the provider/module entirely.
