Manage launchdarkly_team_member where the email exists in more than one launchdarkly_team resource.

Currently, it appears that the provider tries to create the member if it doesn't exist yet, then add that member to the team. I do have a situation where I have the need to add the same email to multiple teams.

example:

resource "launchdarkly_team_member" "developer" {
  count = length(var.team_members)

  email = element(var.team_members, count.index)
  role = "reader"
}

This is pulled into a module, and then referenced more than once with the same email. e.g.

module "team-a" {
    source "./team"
    
    team_members = [ "[email protected]"]
}

module "team-b" {
    source "./team"
    
    team_members = [ "[email protected]"]
}

So I'm not expecting that the behavior of the launchdarkly_team_member resource to change, however I would like to be able to map multiple members with the same email. If there's a workaround to do this now, I'm willing to try it.

Example error:

Error: failed to create team member with email: [email protected]: 400 Bad Request: {"code":"email_already_exists_in_account","message":"Members with the following e-mail addresses already exist in this account: [email protected]","invalid_emails":["[email protected]"]}
│
│ with module.team-b.launchdarkly_team_member.developer[1],
│ on team/team.tf line 10, in resource "launchdarkly_team_member" "developer":
│ 10: resource "launchdarkly_team_member" "developer" {
│

This can also be triggered if the email exists as an account member, but not associated with any teams.

Hey @scuba10steve,

I think the issue is you have multiple modules that are attempting to create the same team member. Would it be possible to create the team members in a different module and pass the relevant team members into a module that just defines the LaunchDarkly team resource?

Sorry for the delayed response,
Henry

I believe that may be possible, I found a workaround by importing the member manually for now.
