Error: error setting deployment inputs - error: &errors.errorString{s:"inputs.disks: '' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type '[]interface {}', value: '[]'"}

What's your inputs, vRA provider & TF version? How to reproduce?

Same issue here whether I specify id or name.

data "vra_deployment" "this" {
  id = "01cc2b84-357a-4fd9-98d9-0f7a94922da1"
}

$ terraform -version
Terraform v1.4.6
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/vmware/vra v0.7.2

I only have another data source for a vra_security_group that works well.

I tried provider version v0.4.1 and 0.3.9, same error

The provider takes string, number, bool as inputs. For example, if you use "Properties", you have to "jsonencode" it to be able to send it to vRA.

What is the type of "inputs.Local_Mapping1"?

What is the type of "inputs.Local_Mapping1"?

I didn't define anything named as such so I have no idea. The provider is defined this way:

provider "vra" {
  url = var.vra_endpoint
}

And I run terraform with

export VRA_ACCESS_TOKEN="<your access token>"
terraform apply

[an2ane]

No issue at all using the last version of the vra provider, nor a custom made for a future push.

terraform -version
Terraform v1.2.6
on windows_amd64
+ provider local/vmware/vra v0.7.3

Working on vRA Cloud 8.12.1

data "vra_deployment" "this" {
  id = "myid"
}

output "test" {
  value = data.vra_deployment.this
}

Changes to Outputs:
   test = {
       blueprint_id         = "wwwww"
       blueprint_version    = "1.0.9"
       catalog_item_id      = "yyyyy"
       catalog_item_version = "1.0.9"
       created_at           = "2023-05-23T13:44:31.900Z"
       created_by           = "myname@company.com"
       description          = ""
       expand_last_request  = false
       expand_project       = false
       expand_resources     = false
       expense              = []
       id                   = "myid"
       ...
}

You should check the Terraform logs

$env:TF_LOG = "TRACE"
$env:TF_LOG_PATH="./logs/terraform_TRACE.log"
