Im trying to update a

gcp.bigquery.Table

Its an external data table so I don’t mind deleting it when I make changes, but I can’t replace it.

error: update failed

  gcp:bigquery:Table (syslog_parsed):
    error: deleting urn:pulumi:dev::myproj-agent::gcp:bigquery/table:Table::syslog_parsed: 1 error occurred:
        * cannot destroy instance without setting deletion_protection=false and running `terraform apply`

I explicitly set:

export const syslogTable = new gcp.bigquery.Table(
  "syslog_parsed",
  {
    datasetId: coreroDataset.datasetId,
    project: coreroDataset.project,
    tableId: "syslog_parsed",
    deletionProtection: false,

............

  {
    deleteBeforeReplace: true,
  }

The documentation says: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/gcp/api-docs/bigquery/table

Note: On newer versions of the provider, you must explicitly set deletion_protection=false

Is there something I am missing?

This looks like https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/issues/876 which was marked closed. One thing I'd try is to do an update which just sets deletionProtection. Then do another update which triggers the replace.

I’m having the same issue with a SQL db when doing a

down

. Ver annoying. In gcp console and my pulumi script, deletion protection is false. I also have refresh enabled as well.
