AT011

AT011

The AT011 analyzer reports likely extraneous use of ID-only refresh testing. Most resources should prefer to include a TestStep with ImportState instead since it will cover the same testing functionality along with verifying resource import support.

However for cases where IDRefreshName is being already being used, the IDRefreshIgnore field is considered valid. If IDRefreshName is not being used, then this analyzer will return a report.

Flagged Code

func TestAccExampleThing_Attr1(t *testing.T) {
    resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
        PreCheck:  func() { testAccPreCheck(t) },
        Providers: testAccProviders,
        IDRefreshIgnore: []string{"attr1"},
        Steps: []resource.TestStep{
            {
                Config: testAccExampleThingConfig(),
                Check: resource.ComposeTestCheckFunc(
                    resource.TestCheckResourceAttrSet("example_thing.test", "attr1"),
                ),
            },
        },
    })
}

    resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
        PreCheck:      func() { testAccPreCheck(t) },

Ignoring Reports

Singular reports can be ignored by adding the a //lintignore:AT011 Go code comment on the line immediately proceding, e.g.

func TestAccExampleThing_Attr1(t *testing.T) {
    resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
        PreCheck:  func() { testAccPreCheck(t) },
        Providers: testAccProviders,
        //lintignore:AT011
        IDRefreshIgnore: []string{"attr1"},
        Steps: []resource.TestStep{
            {
                Config: testAccExampleThingConfig(),
                Check: resource.ComposeTestCheckFunc(
                    resource.TestCheckResourceAttrSet("example_thing.test", "attr1"),
                ),
            },
        },
    })
}
