Can
ignoreChangesin particular - I am using that on github resource, but it still seems to be trying to replace resource, instead of ignore the custom provider passed.

07/28/2021, 9:10 PMTo clarify: you don't mean that the provider is changing properties on your resource; you mean that you are changing the provider on your resource? And you want to leave the resource unchanged?

07/28/2021, 9:11 PMHi Paul, yes, I’ve started passing
provideractually, the reason why I started doing that is that I cannot use github.token from environment/configuration on my project for unrelated reasons, so I found needing to construct my github provider on the fly after initial resource was created.

07/28/2021, 9:14 PMThis question has been asked quite a few times. I think someone came up with a way to do it without editing the stack, but I forget how. When I have done it, I've always edited the stack manually.
Create the new provider, ideally use it at least once. Export the stack. Update all resources that your want to change; they all have a provider property in their opts. Import the stack.

Don't forget to make a backup of your stack 🙂

07/28/2021, 9:21 PMNo. The change on resources changes a pointer to the provider, not the values within the provider. You should be good to do in-provider work safely any time you need.
