Question

Hi everybody I ve been struggling to import a `gcp pubsub SubscriptionIAMBinding` resource I got first this error ```gcp pubsub SubscriptionIAMBinding communications applications worker iam binding error Preview failed importing projects lt my project id gt subscriptions lt my subscription name gt roles pubsub subscriber Wrong number of parts to Binding id projects lt my project id gt subscriptions lt my subscription name gt roles pubsub subscriber expected resource name role condition title ``` Then at the suggestions of < green school 95910> many thanks I used a two part string including the resource name and the role attached to the binding separated by a whitespace But then I got the following error ```gcp pubsub SubscriptionIAMBinding communications applications worker iam binding error Preview failed importing projects lt my project id gt subscriptions lt my subscription name gt roles pubsub subscriber project required field is not set``` I m a bit puzzled as the resource name does indeed contain a reference to the project Here s my code I m using TS ```const communicationsApplicationsWorker = new gcp pubsub SubscriptionIAMBinding communications applications worker iam binding project projectId members `serviceAccount $ serviceAccountEmail ` role roles pubsub subscriber subscription subscriptionName import `projects $ projectId subscriptions $ subscriptionName roles pubsub subscriber` protect true ``` Any ideas what I m doing wrong Many thanks slightly smiling face

thinking face I could try to replicate that tomorrow on my GCP subscription

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

do you use default GCP provider or you explicitly create one in your project

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

do you have project set there

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

it s a blind guess but that s the only thing that came to my mind

Hi < prehistoric activity 61023> Thanks for replying so quickly 1 I m using gcp classic provider 2 The projectId is passed as a resource arg

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

How is your provider configured within the project though Does it have a default project set

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

btw can you paste the full import command you re trying to use

green-school-95910 · Answer

There is a comment on the code with a not so gentle indication that this is unnecessary I didn t read up to that point the last time

green-school-95910 · Answer

Now for this specific error During the import it doesn t use the value you provide on the resource That is used on a later stage of the planning when it calculates the diff What the provider is doing is trying to get the `project` field If it does not exist it If the provider does not have a project ID it Problem is the it uses on the API does not include a `project` field on the So importing only works for pubsub subscriptions on the project set on the provider It could get it from the resource path you are trying to import but it You can open an issue on Terraform s google beta provider for that

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

< green school 95910> so basically what I was guessing was right

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

that s why I asked how the provider is initialised and whether it has a default project set

green-school-95910 · Answer

Yeah only works for the provider project You were right

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

so I guess as a workaround for < fast easter 23401> he can explicitly set the project why executing the `import` command

green-school-95910 · Answer

As the comment says and I had totally forgot IAMBinding and IAMMember resources are idempotent there is no need to import them

green-school-95910 · Answer

Creating over the existing ones do not fail and don t change anything

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

I forgot about that as well sweat smile

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

anyway I wonder if setting up a project would resolve the issue

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

I d even try to pass it temporarily using env variable I guess it might work

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

something like ```GOOGLE PROJECT=use this you blind import command pulumi import ``` wink

green-school-95910 · Answer

If it is the default global provider than yes if it is an instance I don t think it reads from the environment

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

I guess so

fast-easter-23401 · Answer

Very much appreciated < green school 95910> and < prehistoric activity 61023>

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

if you explicitly created a provider that s usually my case you need to pass the project there

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

but then again you have to execute `pulum import` with ` provider` flag

prehistoric-activity-61023 · Answer

Anyway if that operation is idempotent and you already have to specify all the data needed to create this resource while importing it you might as well just write the resources yourself and forget about importing them smile
