Tainting ELB fails

[jangrewe]

I wanted to try if tainting the ELB helps with getting rid of #9289, but this made it only worse...

Terraform Version

0.7.11

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_elb

Expected Behavior

The ELB should have been destroyed and recreated

Actual Behavior

The error above.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform taint aws_elb.elb
2. terraform apply

[mitchellh]

Hello! I tried your config and steps exactly and wasn't able to reproduce this error. Can you please point me in a direction to try to reproduce this?

[jrnt30]

I am having the same issue. One particular piece to note is that the ELB definition is contained in a module, not directly in the config. I'll see if I can reproduce this regularly via taint (our error occurred when we changed the ELB's name attribute and it was forcing a re-create).

[jrnt30]

@jangrewe Do you have any resources that use the outputs of your ELB creation that have the

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }

I believe this may be part of my issue. We have the lifecycle block on the aws_autoscaling_attachment resource. This references attributes from the ELB that was created in the module without the lifecycle block being set on the ELB and behaves exactly as yours does.

If I set the lifecycle block on the underlying ELB (and continue to keep it on the attachment), I do get past this error Destroy related error you referenced.

However I receive a notification about:

This is not an error. Your Terraform operation completed successfully.
Your real infrastructure is unaffected by this message.

While running, Terraform sometimes tests experimental features in the
background. These features cannot affect real state and never touch
real infrastructure. If the features work properly, you see nothing.
If the features fail, this message appears.

The following failures happened while running experimental features.
Please report a Terraform bug so that future Terraform versions that
enable these features can be improved!

You can report an issue at: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues

This is not an error. Your terraform operation completed successfully
and your real infrastructure is unaffected by this message.```

Thanks @jrnt30, i did have create_before_destroy set for the ASG and its Launch Configuration in a module!
Setting create_before_destroy for the ELB didn't fix it, as TF complained about duplicate ELB names then, but removing it (or at least commenting it out) in the two ASG resources allowed me to pass the run, and after that i could add it again.

My Route53 records still get modified with every run, so tainting them and the ELBs didn't fix anything, but at least i got rid of the error now.

[mitchellh]

Thanks all for the input, but unfortunately I still can't get a reproduction here. I do believe this error is real since it has been reported multiple times, but a clean reproduction so we can fix it still eludes us. Until we can get that, I unfortunately won't be able to do much here...

I'm going to close this for now, but if someone gets a repro for this please just open a new issue and we'll get going ASAP!

I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues.

If you have found a problem that seems similar to this, please open a new issue and complete the issue template so we can capture all the details necessary to investigate further.
