Debug Output

Sorry, I think this is short enough to just paste:

  1 Shortname was inconsistent with current Stacks
An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  ~ update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  ~ aws_opsworks_application.foo-app
      short_name: "foobar" => "FooBar"


Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

Expected Behavior

Either shortname should have changed or resource should have been recreated.

Actual Behavior

Terraform said it'd change the shortname but it stayed the same.

I checked in AWS Console and apparently you can't change shortname.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply with some shortname
2. Change the shortname to something else
3. terraform apply
4. Check that the app remains with the same shortname

The fix for properly triggering resource recreation on short_name updates has been merged and will release with version 1.43.0 of the AWS provider, likely later today or tomorrow. 👍
