Import terraform AWS VPC subnet having CIDR in resource name-CodePudding

I need to import AWS VPC subnets into terraform using import command. When I run terraform plan command I get below output

module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play["10.76.175.0/24"]

how do I import this resource as it contains this ["10.76.175.0/24"] cidr block. Below are the command I tried which is failing with this error Error: Invalid number literal

terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play[10.76.175.0/24] sub-xyz

I tired below commands that got successful import but unable to recognise resources when I run terraform plan again.

terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play sub-xyz
terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play[0] sub-xyz

CodePudding user response：

The module probably use a for_each condition, so the right command should be

terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play["10.76.175.0/24"] sub-xyz

terraform import 'module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play["10.76.175.0/24"]' sub-xyz

with quotes. Because you reference a resource by the key.

It's also possible to reference the resources by a number that represent the order in the map but is not recommended because it's hard to understand if you are doing the right import.

So, doing the commands

terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play sub-xyz
terraform import module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play[0] sub-xyz

you already imported the resources so you don't see that in plan anymore. You can remove the resource from the state by

terraform state rm module.test-vpc.aws_subnet.play[0]

and re-import the resource
