this is given as an example for a GCP `InstanceTemplate`:

* const instanceTemplate = new gcp.compute.InstanceTemplate("instanceTemplate", {
 *     // boot disk
 *     disks: [{}],
 *     machineType: "n1-standard-1",
 *     namePrefix: "instance-template-",
 *     // networking
 *     networkInterfaces: [{}],
 *     region: "us-central1",
 * });

but fails on creation with:

Diagnostics:
  gcp:compute:InstanceTemplate (instanceTemplate):
    error: gcp:compute/instanceTemplate:InstanceTemplate resource 'instanceTemplate' has a problem: "name": conflicts with name_prefix

Did you copy/paste that exactly? I don't see

name

defined there.

@gentle-diamond-70147 yes, the name property is set via the first argument "instanceTemplate" and can't be omitted

There's also a separate

name

property that lets you override the auto-naming functionality. I wasn't sure if you set that too. Sounds like a bug. Can you open an issue at https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-gcp/issues ?

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/143 is related - but that was fixed a year ago. I wonder if there is some remaining symptom here.

@gentle-diamond-70147 I can open an issue
