Hello!
New to Terraform/provider creation (using the plugin framework), and I have a very basic question that I hope someone can help me with!
Following the tutorial (which is great, by the way), I’m able to create a very simple data source that takes no parameters. So my main.tf with the following stanza works fine:
data "shepherd_projects" "test" {
}
So my provider (“shepherd”) has a data source called “project”. This works fine.
My problem comes when I want to be able to specify that this data source needs to take some arguments. So my stanza should/must look like:
data "shepherd_projects" "test" {
department_id = "893eb7c8-6141-4ea5-92cb-5a84c463461f"
region_id = "cnco1"
}
(My code needs to take that department_id and region_id and use it to call my own shepherd SDK in the data source Read() method)
How do I implement this?
Running “apply” immediately errors out with complaints that the two arguments are “Unsupported argument”
The tutorial doesn’t cover this (only shows how to create a data source with zero arguments) - and reading up on the core documentation for Data Sources - there is a discussion on how to pass provider configuration to the data source - but not how to get config data from the data source stanza itself.
Googling around the internet, I see examples on how to do this using the SDKV2, but I don’t see any for the plugin framework. This seems like a pretty basic functionality that would be useful in many custom providers, so I’m going nuts thinking I’m missing some big picture.
Any help - or pointers to code samples - would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
