Error when trying to create a Type of Object or map or list in Terraform

[mazobeid]

Hello,

I want to create a terraform resource that have an attribute as object type.
In C#, I create an IDictionary<string, object> but when execute the Terraform plan I got this error below:
System.NotSupportedException: Unable to convert System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair`2[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e],[System.Object, System.Private.CoreLib, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e]] to Terraform type.

Any idea how to create an object in terraform using the C# plugin ?
ex.:
resource "demo_player" "player" {
name = ""
player = {
name = ""
streams = ""
}
}

THank you

If you register a custom version of ISchemaBuilder it should work

class MySchemaBuilder : ISchemaBuilder
{
    ... existing code from SchemaBuilder.cs ...
  private static string GetTerraformType(Type t)
  {
   ... existing code ...
   
   // handle object instead of throwing exception
   var properties = t.GetProperties().Select(p => //maybe filter to only properties with [Key] attribute?
   {
      var key = p.GetCustomAttribute<KeyAttribute>() ?? throw new InvalidOperationException($"Missing {nameof(KeyAttribute)} on {p.Name} in {p.PropertyType.Name}.");

      return "\"" + key.StringKey + "\":" + GetTerraformType(p.PropertyType);
   });
   return "[\"object\",{"+ string.Join(",", properties) + "}]";   
}

I should probably get a PR raised...

Object types are now supported (535e246).

Please see this example:

TerraformPluginDotNet/TerraformPluginDotNet.Test/TestResource.cs

Lines 65 to 68 in 535e246

	[Key("object_2")]
	[Description("An object.")]
	[Required]
	public TestObjectNoOptionalAttributes Object2 { get; set; }
