Missing parameters are required for resource(repository) creation. Example declaration statement missing?.

[5obol]

Hi guys

Can you please point me at all possible parameters for the resources creation?
E.G. I am creating repository of type proxy and format apt :

  name   = "apt-proxy-bionic"
  format = "apt"
  type   = "proxy"
  apt {
    distribution = "bionic"
  }
  storage {
    blob_store_name                = "apt-internal"
    strict_content_type_validation = true
    write_policy                   = "ALLOW_ONCE"
  }
  depends_on = [nexus_blobstore.apt-internal]
}
Once I run apply:
nexus_repository.apt-proxy-bionic: Creating...
Error: could not create repository 'apt-proxy-bionic': HTTP: 400, [ {
  "id" : "PARAMETER httpClient",
  "message" : "must not be null"
}, {
  "id" : "PARAMETER negativeCache",
  "message" : "must not be null"
}, {
  "id" : "PARAMETER proxy",
  "message" : "must not be null"
}, {
  "id" : "PARAMETER flat",
  "message" : "must not be null"
} ]
  on repositories.tf line 1, in resource "nexus_repository" "apt-proxy-bionic":
   1: resource "nexus_repository" "apt-proxy-bionic" {

I do have those section in my real repo and would like them to be declared even with null or empry values. But I can’t figure out how to define them. And can’t even find them in repository’s resource GO code as of here:
https://github.com/datadrivers/terraform-provider-nexus/blob/master/nexus/resource_repository.go
It would be nice to have full list of possible parameters or just 1 big example with all possible options provided. It would make it much more easier using this provider. I think it can be applied to all the resources.

Hi @5obol,

please see the examples for nuget_proxy and docker_hub within README.md. The errors you got are only for repositories of type proxy.

Hi,
Thank you for such a quick reply and action on this.
Have just went through those two examples as well. And here what I have in a TF code:

resource "nexus_repository" "apt-proxy-bionic" {
  name   = "apt-proxy-bionic"
  format = "apt"
  type   = "proxy"
  online = true
  apt {
    distribution = "bionic"
  }
  negative_cache {
    enabled = true
    ttl     = 1440
  }
  http_client {
      auto_block = true
  }
  proxy {
    remote_url  = "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/"
    metadata_max_age = "1440"
    content_max_age = "1440"
  }
  storage {
    blob_store_name                = "apt-internal"
    strict_content_type_validation = true
    write_policy                   = "ALLOW_ONCE"
  }
  depends_on = [nexus_blobstore.apt-internal]
}

Apply:

$ terraform apply -input=false "planfile"
nexus_repository.apt-proxy-bionic: Creating...
Error: could not create repository 'apt-proxy-bionic': HTTP: 400, [ {
  "id" : "PARAMETER flat",
  "message" : "must not be null"
}, {
  "id" : "PARAMETER type",
  "message" : "may not be empty"
} ]
  on repositories.tf line 1, in resource "nexus_repository" "apt-proxy-bionic":
   1: resource "nexus_repository" "apt-proxy-bionic" {
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

Hi @5obol ,

the issue with parameter type can be fixed by adding authentication even if you don't use username and passwort, it would at least fix the issue. We have another issue to check if authentication can be omitted.

http_client {
      auto_block = true
      authentication {
		type = "username"
      }
  }

Parameter flat is really new to me. Which version of Nexus are u using?

[Nosmoht]

Found the flat parameter. Seems like following is missing.

   apt {
      distribution = "bionic"
      flat = false
   }

[Nosmoht]

Foo, this parameter is not yet implemented. I'll add it soon.

[5obol]

version

We are using Nexus 3.22.1-02

[fog1985]

Foo, this parameter is not yet implemented. I'll add it soon.

Cool,
Thank you @Nosmoht beforehand.
As I am facing pretty the same issue. Looking forward to having it added.

[ruedigerblock]

Moin guys,
we created a new release v1.6.2 which should address this issue.
Please check ;-)

[fog1985]

Cool! Thank you! ;)

Hi @Nosmoht,

All works well. Thank you.

1 more question. Is there a chance to get what data fields/outputs data source for repository has?
I am curious if it's possible to get for example a list of created privileges during the repository creation process and as the result create a role resources with those privileges.
If it's not a correct place to ask this question please let me know and I can raise another topic. :)

Regards,
Taras.

Hi @ruedigerblock ,
Thank you as well! And including you into the thread too. :)
Went through everything and can't figure out how to get a list of created privileges by repository resource. Or as the result of repository creation.
Any hints, please?
Cuz trying to create a role with those privileges included and there is no way to get them. :)

[Nosmoht]

Hi @fog1985 ,

i'm closing this ticket as you've already opened #54 for the privileges. Thanks for your support.

[fog1985]

Sure. Thank you @Nosmoht .
