Construct with same name when using generate_config_for_import

Terraform CDK for Terraform
1

I am new to cdktf and I am using it as a tool to loop through large amounts of resource IDs to generate import blocks in HCL.

I am coming across this error below when using cdktf synth --hcl

RuntimeError: Error: There is already a Construct with name '<NAME>' in TerraformStack [cdktf]

I think I understand that this error is related to when I use the method .generate_config_for_import(self, import_to_id=<NAME>, import_from_id=<ID>). This creates multiple different TF resources using the same TF resource name in the generated import blocks.

I think this is related to the link below, but for import blocks.

import {
  to = azurerm_mssql_virtual_machine.<NAME1>
}

import {
  to = azurerm_virtual_machine.<NAME1>
}

I have attempted to look at the solution for this which was to use the method .override_logical_id() but that did not seem to work.

Here is some example code of where I am seeing this issue


virtualMachines = {
"<RESOURCE_ID>": "<NAME1>"
}

SqlVirtualMachines = {
"<RESOURCE_ID>": "<NAME1>"
}

class MyStack(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope: Construct, id: str):
        super().__init__(scope, id)

        AzurermProvider(
            self,
            id="az",
            features={
                "resource_group": {"prevent_deletion_if_contains_resources": True}
            },
            skip_provider_registration=True,
        )

        for k,v in virtualMachines.items():
            VirtualMachine.generate_config_for_import(
                self, import_to_id=v, import_from_id=k
            )

        for k,v in SqlVirtualMachines.items():
                    MssqlVirtualMachine.generate_config_for_import(
                        self, import_to_id=v, import_from_id=k
                    )

If I use the below code this still errors out. The only way to get this to work is to comment out one of the for loops.

for k,v in SqlVirtualMachines.items():
                    MssqlVirtualMachine.generate_config_for_import(
                        self, import_to_id=v, import_from_id=k
                    ).override_logical_id("abc")

Is there a way to resolve this?
