Hi all, I'm running into an issue importing existing resources from azure. For example, if I try to import a VirtualNetworkGateway, I'm getting the following error:

Diagnostics:
  azure:network:VirtualNetworkGateway (cgw-snm-net-blue):
    error: azure:network/virtualNetworkGateway:VirtualNetworkGateway resource 'cgw-snm-net-blue' has a problem: Missing required property 'type'
    error: azure:network/virtualNetworkGateway:VirtualNetworkGateway resource 'cgw-snm-net-blue' has a problem: Missing required property 'sku'
    error: azure:network/virtualNetworkGateway:VirtualNetworkGateway resource 'cgw-snm-net-blue' has a problem: Missing required property 'ipConfigurations'
    error: Preview failed: one or more inputs failed to validate

  pulumi:pulumi:Stack (autopilot-azure-autopilot-azure):
    error: preview failed

Interestingly enough though, if I look at the debug output, it does have a type, sku and ip configurations. What would be the recommended way moving forward? Just trying to import the resource manually by patching the stack?

Could you show me your code for

VirtualNetworkGateway

?

do you mean, the code that imports the resource? because I haven't written the code for the resource yet. It's been manually clicked together by somebody and I need to absorb it into my code

How are you running the import?

I've tried the pulumi command line, so

pulumi import azure:network/virtualNetworkGateway:VirtualNetworkGateway cgw-snm-net-blue /subscri....

And then copying the resulting code to your program?

yes, that's the process that i'm following right now, just to get the skeleton

So, could you show me that code that you pasted?

the import isn't generating any code for this resource, as it's failing

That’s the problem then

thing is, if I write the code without importing, i worry it will create a duplicate resource

You could write your code manually but add

ImportId

option to the resource

I'll give that a try

As in https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/adopting/import/#pulumi-import-resource-operation

I was just reading that bit as well

But please open an issue for the failing import command: that sounds like a bug somewhere

cool, I'll do that! Thanks. I'll also add the resolution if it works by manually writing the code
