Aws_route53_record: Error Building Changeset

When Im trying to deploy my code, I’m getting this error:
module.rest_api.aws_route53_record.xxx: Creating…
[ERR]: Error building changeset: InvalidChangeBatch: [Tried to create resource record set [name=‘MYNAME’, type=‘MYTYPE’] but it already exists]
status code: 400, request id: XXXXXXXXXX
When I inspect the stack, it seems empty, so I’m not able to delete the stack? Could anyone help with this, I’m a newcomer to terraform. Thanks in advance!

What are you meaning by “the stack”?

That error means that you are trying to create a record in a Route53 zone but one with the same name already exists.

You need to either delete the existing record or use terraform import to add it to the state file.

Hi thanks for your response, it turns out to be route53 issue, and I deleted that record on their console and I was able to make it work. Thanks for getting back to me !
