Trying to replace an AWS TargetGroup. The problem is the TargetGroup is referenced by a ListenerAction. Shouldn’t Pulumi automatically update the ListenerAction’s action? Isn’t a new TargetGroup is created before the old TargetGroup is destroyed? If not, how do I force the update of the Listener Action to the new action when a TargetGroup is replaced?

what error are you getting?

deleting Target Group: ResourceInUse: Target group ‘arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:UUID:targetgroup/RESOURCENAME/UUID’ is currently in use by a listener or a rule

do you have code to repro?

Sure. What’s the best way to share? Enormous copy/paste or a gist or something?

gist would be awesome

Let me get the relevant portion…

this is happening because you’re setting the name explicitly:

name: targetGroupName

I’d recommend removing the explicit name and using autonaming. If you don’t want to do that, set the resource property `DeleteBeforeReplace`: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/options/deletebeforereplace/

I do specifically want to change its name.
