That error message should only be reported if the resource in question expects a `region`. Can you share the code snippet you are trying to use?

first I tried
```
export const addr = new gcp.compute.Address("name", {
        project: "project",
        name: "name",
    }, { import: "name" })```
It errored with resource does not exists.
Then I suspected the region might be the problem since that's set globally by the stack `gcp:zone: europe-west2-c`, so then I tried
```
    const regionlessProvider = new gcp.Provider("project", { project: "project" })
    export const addr = new gcp.compute.Address("name", {
        project: "project",
        name: "name",
    }, { import: "name", provider: regionlessProvider })```

I am still hoping to work around this somehow. Any ideas?

Can you put `region: 'global'`? Does that work? Or maybe `region: ''`?

ah my bad, there is a seprate endpoint on gcp, which maps to `gcp.compute.GlobalAddress` not `gcp.compute.Address`
