TXT DNS records for the apex domain are re-written over and over

[ghomem]

Bug Report

Nothing changes on the code but TXT DNS records for the apex domain are re-written over and over. Every time we run terraform plan the "changes" are proposed. Everytime we runterraform applythe "changes" are applied. The "changes", however, do not change anything (see below).

Describe the bug

The problem is there is some kind of false positive on the change detection

Affected Resource(s)

• digitalocean_record

Expected Behavior

I expected no changes proposed and no changes applied.

Actual Behavior

Changes proposed and changes applied.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a record like this one:

resource "digitalocean_record" "acme-spf-TXT" {
    domain = digitalocean_domain.acme.name
    type   = "TXT"
    name   = "acme.io."
    value  = "v=spf1 a:smtp01.acme.io a:smtp02.acme.io a:smtp.acme.io a:mailserver01.acme.io a:mail.acme.io -all"
}

And run terraform plan + terraform apply multiple times. The output will be:

  # digitalocean_record.acme-spf-TXT will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "digitalocean_record" "acme-spf-TXT" {
        id       = "164360618"
      ~ name     = "@" -> "acme.io."
        # (9 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

Terraform Configuration Files

terraform {
  required_providers {
    digitalocean = {
      source = "digitalocean/digitalocean"
terraform {
  required_providers {
    digitalocean = {
      source = "digitalocean/digitalocean"
      version = "2.10.1"
    }
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
}

# configure the providers

provider "digitalocean" {
  token = var.do_token
}
      version = "2.10.1"
    }
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
}

# configure the providers

provider "digitalocean" {
  token = var.do_token
}

Expected behavior

The expected behaviour would be no changes reported or applied.

Terraform version

Terraform v1.0.3
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/digitalocean/digitalocean v2.10.1
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v3.52.0

Thanks a lot for fixing this.

Will the fix be available on release v2.12.0 ?

@ghomem We'll be looking to cut a release soon. Since as of right now the only planned changes are bugfix only, the version would be v2.11.1

[ghomem]

Thanks for the clarification and for the fix @andrewsomething .

[andrewsomething]

@ghomem The new release should now be available. Please feel free to reopen the issue if it doesn't resolve the problem.
