Importing a resource doesn't work if the module is calling other modules via for_each

1.1.7

https://github.com/applike-ss/tf-import-issue

Debug Output

https://gist.github.com/applike-ss/060f787190d29b707c06a0efccecdaa4

Expected Behavior

resource should be importable, because the for_each does not matter for the resource

Actual Behavior

resource was prepared to import, but import failed with Invalid for_each argument and data.null_data_source.f will be known only after apply

Steps to Reproduce

• check out repo
• have an aws account (or exchange the resource against anything else that can be imported that you have an account for)
• terraform init
• terraform import 'module.m[0].aws_sns_topic.t' arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:123456789012:my-topic

Hi @applike-ss,

Thanks for filing the issue. The first error is only due to a typo in the command itself, you are passing the number 0 as the for_each key, but keys can only be strings. Quoting the string will avoid the error: 'module.m["0"].aws_sns_topic.t'

The second error however does look like a bug. In essence it's another form of #27934, but since it only manifests in nested modules, we can leave this open as a separate distinct problem for now.

Thanks!

Hi @jbardin,

thank you for your quick response.
In fact both "errors" belonged to the same block.
I tried your quotation and it didn't help.
Looking forward to see #27934 fixed (and derivatives).

Thanks!
