[levid0s]

This issue is exactly as described as #5742

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "enable_oslogin_at_project_level" {
  count      = "${contains(local.project_services, "compute.googleapis.com") ? 1 : 0}"
  project    = "${google_project.project.project_id}"
  key        = "enable-oslogin"
  value      = "TRUE"
  depends_on = ["google_project_service.project_services"]
}

Debug Output

@KbLev The use case for import is that resource was created outside of terraform and you want terraform to manage it going forward by importing them. During the import command your terraform config should be empty alike

resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "enable_oslogin_at_project_level" {
  
}

Once the resource is imported to terraform state you can fill in your config's key/value pairs as per the values in the state.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the response. I just got back to test it and no luck so far.

I tried three combinations of commented-out fields:

resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "enable_oslogin_at_project_level" {
  project    = "${google_project.project.project_id}"
  key        = "enable-oslogin"
  # # value      = "TRUE"
  depends_on = ["google_project_service.project_services"]
}

resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "enable_oslogin_at_project_level" {
  project    = "grey-rat-617512"
  # key        = "enable-oslogin"
  # # value      = "TRUE"
  # depends_on = ["google_project_service.project_services"]
}

resource "google_compute_project_metadata_item" "enable_oslogin_at_project_level" {
  # project    = "${google_project.project.project_id}"
  # key        = "enable-oslogin"
  # # value      = "TRUE"
  # depends_on = ["google_project_service.project_services"]
}

Same error:

PS> tf-14-8 import module.project.google_compute_project_metadata_item.enable_oslogin_at_project_level[0]  enable-oslogin

Try importing the resource without the module and see if it works. I am not sure the module you are using expects project to be passed.

@KbLev have you tried the suggestion?

[edwardmedia]

@KbLev is this still an issue?

@KbLev closing assuming this is no longer an issue
