[james-mwakichako]

We are currently using the azurerm provider to create terraform resources. We have noticed that importing the specific resources takes ~ 45 seconds which is slowing our processes down.

Debug Output

Expected Behavior

importing the package within a python file should be fast.

Actual Behavior

importing cdktf-cdktf-provider-azurerm take about 45 seconds to complete.

Steps to Reproduce

Below is the source code.

from constructs import Construct
from cdktf import TerraformStack, App
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_azurerm.provider import AzurermProvider


class TestStack(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope: Construct, id: str):
        super().__init__(scope, id)

        AzurermProvider(self, "azurerm", features={})

Important Factoids

On running importtime against our script, here is what we found:

import time:   9501138 |    9501138 |               cdktf_cdktf_provider_azurerm._jsii
import time:        26 |   54269769 |           cdktf_cdktf_provider_azurerm.provider

Are there any workarounds to speed up import time ?
