Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.11.13

• provider.azurerm v1.23.0
• provider.random v2.0.0

Affected Resource(s)

Data Source: azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm

Debug Output

Error: Error running plan: 1 error(s) occurred:

• azurerm_recovery_services_protected_vm.vmstamp: Can not parse "backup_policy_id" as a resource id: No subscription ID found in: "Subscriptions/5aec60e9-f535-4bd7-a951-2833f043e918/resourceGroups/backup-vault-rg/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/mk-vm-vault/backupPolicies/DefaultPolicy"

Expected Behavior

backup_policy_id = "${data.azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm.vmstamp.id}"

should return the resource id of the policy.

"subscriptions/5aec60e9-f535-4bd7-a951-2833f043e918/resourceGroups/backup-vault-rg/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/mk-vm-vault/backupPolicies/DefaultPolicy"

Actual Behavior

I get this error

Error: Error running plan: 1 error(s) occurred:

• azurerm_recovery_services_protected_vm.vmstamp: Can not parse "backup_policy_id" as a resource id: No subscription ID found in: "Subscriptions/5aec60e9-f535-4bd7-a951-2833f043e918/resourceGroups/backup-vault-rg/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/mk-vm-vault/backupPolicies/DefaultPolicy"

Steps to Reproduce

define data reference for existing resource:

data "azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm" "vmstamp" {
name = "DefaultPolicy"
recovery_vault_name = "mk-vm-vault"
resource_group_name = "backup-vault-rg"
}

try to reference its ID in resource "azurerm_recovery_services_protected_vm"

resource "azurerm_recovery_services_protected_vm" "vmstamp" {
resource_group_name = "${data.azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm.vmstamp.resource_group_name}"
recovery_vault_name = "${data.azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm.vmstamp.recovery_vault_name}"
backup_policy_id = "${data.azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm.vmstamp.id}"
source_vm_id = "/subscriptions/5aec60e9-f535-4bd7-a951-2833f043e918/resourceGroups/sql-server-rg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/testsqlserver"
}

terraform plan

Important Factoids

Hardcoding the backup_policy_id to the resource works. Note the subscription Key/Value starts with a lower S, where as the error returns it with a capital S.

backup_policy_id = "/subscriptions/5aec60e9-f535-4bd7-a951-2833f043e918/resourceGroups/backup-vault-rg/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/mk-vm-vault/backupPolicies/DefaultPolicy"

another way to confirm this is to put lower() function around the id from the data source and it works fine.

backup_policy_id = "${lower(data.azurerm_recovery_services_protection_policy_vm.vmstamp.id)}"

I've found that this is a know issue in the azure SDK
I'm adding a workaround as in the azurerm_recovery_service_protection_policy_vm resource.
