error creating project xxxx: googleapi: Error 409: Requested entity already exists

[lcoupe]

Hi there,

I am trying to deploy a new project via Terraform into GCP - the project definitely doesn't already exist - however, Terraform is reporting it does and failing to apply.

However, if I change the project name it works...

Folder ID and Billing Account are correct - as it works with an alternative project id...

It's almost like something is hanging around in the state - however, I have checked this...

Terraform Version

0.15

Google Provider Version

3.67.0

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "google_project" "project" {
  count               = var.stage == "stage" ? 1 : 0
  provider            = google.impersonated
  name                = var.project_id
  project_id          = var.project_id
  folder_id           = var.parent_folder_id
  auto_create_network = false

  billing_account = var.billing_account_id
}

Debug Output

Crash Output

google_project.project[0]: Creating...
╷
│ Error: error creating project xxxx (xxxx): googleapi: Error 409: Requested entity already exists, alreadyExists. If you received a 403 error, make sure you have the `roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator` permission

Expected Behavior

The project should be created with the desired project id

Actual Behavior

Terraform crashes and reports the requested entity already exists

@lcoupe The error indicates either the project_id already exists or the terraform runner does not have permission to create a new project. But from what you described, it is neither. I need more info before I can say. To debug, can you repro the issue after removing the dynamic code? If yes, can you share the config?

@lcoupe is this still an issue?

@lcoupe closing assuming this is no longer an issue
