Terraform Version

Terraform v0.12.24
+ provider.google v3.44.0

Affected Resource(s)

• google_dataflow_job

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "google" {
  project = "my-project"
}

resource "google_storage_bucket" "bucket" {
  name = "my-bucket"
  force_destroy = true
}

resource "google_dataflow_job" "job" {
  name = "my-job"
  region = "us-central1"
  template_gcs_path = "gs://dataflow-templates/latest/Word_Count"
  temp_gcs_location = google_storage_bucket.bucket.url
  parameters = {
    inputFile = "gs://dataflow-samples/shakespeare/various.txt"
    output = "${google_storage_bucket.bucket.url}/output"
  }
  on_delete = "cancel"
}

Expected Behavior

Job should be created successfully.

Actual Behavior

Job failed to create due to zone being required despite region being specified. This is inconsistent with Dataflow API behavior.

google_dataflow_job.job: Creating...                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                      
Error: Cannot determine zone: set in this resource, or set provider-level zone.  

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Agree, Zone isn't required when region is given in the config. Able to create hit the API with just region to create a data flow job
