Import since 1.6.0 does'nt work Params.count of type string

[cp3hu]

Hi since 1.6.0 release we have another cast issue on Params.count.
I cannot confirm that is was not present on previous version, cause i had the json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field Screenboard.height of type string which is fixed by 1.6.0

Do you know if there is any workaround about ?

Thanks

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.10
provider.datadog: version = "1.6"

Affected Resource(s)

datadog_screenboard

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "datadog_screenboard" "datadog_screenboard" {
}

Expected Behavior

Imported screenboard

Actual Behavior

json: cannot unmarshal number into Go struct field Params.count of type string

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:
terraform import datadog_screenboard.datadog_screenboard id

References

• Can not imported ScreenBoard got an error unmarshal #105
• datadog_screenboard - panic: interface conversion: interface {} is string, not float64 #117

[officel]

I wrote #105 . and #117 has not solved it.

After that the test was repeated.I got some conclusions

• use only terraform is OK
• manual on DataDog Site is NG
• Cause is that the value of "width" will change from "0" to "100%"(string)
  • maybe set by DataDog Site self

use DataDog API see https://docs.datadoghq.com/ja/api/#screenboards-put
like a width = 1024 (!="100%") called.

I can import any screenboards. try it.

sorry,
I do not know the target field, so check it out.
Params.count is what?

I'm having another issue similar to this casting, but with the width field:

Error: datadog_screenboard.my_service_screenboard (import id: 554985): import datadog_screenboard.my_service_screenboard (id: 554985): json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field Screenboard.width of type int

When I curl the screen, I get

"width": "100%"

which is not an Int. Is this related, right?

Terraform v0.11.11
+ provider.datadog v1.6.0

@agoulart0 yeah, you have to pull the json from the API, edit it, PUT it, and then you can import.

also of note is that this doesn't just affect import, it also affects all refreshing, so please don't use the datadog UI unless you want to risk problems :)

the width attribute of the datadog resource should probably be changed to a string type to allow for the "100%" string...

[marcomusso]

Hi all, I get the workaround for the width field but what about the original Params.count of type string error?

[wbuiejr]

@2rs2ts , how do you edit the JSON? Put quotes around the integers to turn them into strings?

[2rs2ts]

@wbuiejr it's been a while but yeah I believe that's what I did.

Hey, I apologize for the delay here. There were some changes on the api side a little while back that should help to avoid this issue going forward where these wouldn't be returned into the Terraform state. It may require any change to be made to the dashboard via the UI to have these fields be properly updated, then any terraform import/plan/apply should properly work.

Is this still an issue being faced? Additionally, the newer dashboard resource has some extra validations around them that should help avoid these types of issues in the future.

Hey, apologies again for the delay on this one. As this issue should be resolved I'll go ahead and close this out for now. Let us know if you experience any further issues with this.
