Description of Issue/Question

When using version 0.7.1, I didn't have no error regarding QEMU guest agent.
When unzip 0.7.6 and using it in main.tf file, my guest provisioning worked, but with this error:

Setup

The relevant main.tf section is this:

resource "libvirt_domain" "vm" {
count = var.VM_COUNT
name = "${var.VM_HOSTNAME}"
memory = var.VMEM
vcpu = var.VCPU
cloudinit = libvirt_cloudinit_disk.cloudinit.id
qemu_agent = true

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Provisioning of a new VM using 0.7.6 version with the above main.tf 'qemu_agent = true' defined.

FWIW, this is also happening here, in my terraform-libvirt-talos example, which uses qemu_agent = true and network_interface wait_for_lease = false.

PS in my case qemu agent will not really be available until much later, after the virtual machine is created, after it reports the ip address, after it eventually installs the qemu agent; so in my case, having qemu_agent = false and network_interface wait_for_lease = true fixed the problem.

Thanks @rgl for your reply and nice work you did there 👍
I just tested it qemu_agent = false (in my case, the network_interface wait_for_lease is not defined at all), and everything is working as usual (Guest is up and running with network connection).
Will go with 0.7.6 then. Thanks

So far So good
