Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

created/updated resourse

Actual Behavior

There are two issues.

1. I can create resource but every time doing plan/apply I get following output
   Note: Objects have changed outside of Terraform Terraform detected the following changes made outside of Terraform since the last "terraform apply": aws_wafv2_web_acl.test-waf has changed ~ resource "aws_wafv2_web_acl" "test-waf" { id = "663afe0a-40f9-44f7-881a-74cea5ded06c" name = "Test-ACLS-dev" tags = {} # (5 unchanged attributes hidden) # (4 unchanged blocks hidden) }
   2 . then when you update for example tags in aws_wafv2_web_acl and run apply the terraform throws an error.
   vertex "aws_wafv2_web_acl.test-waf" error: Provider produced inconsistent final plan

when modified tags in aws_wafv2_web_acl and apply changes:

vertex "aws_wafv2_web_acl.test-waf" error: Provider produced inconsistent final plan

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. modify for example tags in aws_wafv2_web_acl
3. again terraform apply

I have tested with
provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v4.5.0
So tags are not allowed anymore for aws_wafv2_web_acl which is good.
However every time I run : terraform plan
I get Note: Objects have changed outside of Terraform for aws_wafv2_web_acl
terraform apply doesn't do anything : No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Hey @janul, this is likely related to #19727

[chrisnellis]

I was seeing this issue due to setting default tags in the AWS provider. That may be a legitimate outstanding issue

[dbdoyle182]

I ran into this issue the other day with tags on the WAF, it seems there may be an issue with the way tags are handled by the aws provider for some resources.

Workaround was:

1. Modify the tags via CLI to the desired values.
2. Modify the remote state directly to match the tags I wanted.
3. Run plan to ensure there were no changes related to tags on the wafv2 resources.

[tolidano]

Dupe of #23992 additional workarounds available there.

Upgrading terraform to 1.4.x fixed this for me

[YakDriver]

NOTE: I cannot reproduce this error using Terraform v1.5+/AWS provider v5.7+ after trying various configurations. Retry using a minimum of Terraform v1.4.2/AWS provider v4.67.0 but preferably Terraform v1.5.3+/AWS provider v5.8.0+ and let us know if this is still a problem! If we don't hear back and can't reproduce, we plan to close this on or around July 20, 2023. The evidence suggests this is OBE (ie, fixed in the interim).

For more details see #23992 (comment) and #28672 (comment).

[YakDriver]

I tried this config to reproduce this specific issue. I got no errors.

Here's my process to attempt to reproduce the problem:

1. apply config as is
2. remove default_tags and apply
3. change tags values and apply
4. remove tags and apply
5. apply again

Config

provider "aws" {
  default_tags {
    tags = {
      fine_night = "tonight"
      fine_day   = "tomorrow"
    }

  name        = "wafv23992test"
  description = "Example regex pattern set"
  scope       = "REGIONAL"

  regular_expression {
    regex_string = "one"
  }

  regular_expression {
    regex_string = "two"
  }
}

resource "aws_wafv2_web_acl" "test" {
  name  = "wafv23992test"
  scope = "REGIONAL"
  default_action {
    allow {}

  visibility_config {
    cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = false
    metric_name                = "Test-ACLS-metrics-dev"
    sampled_requests_enabled   = false
  }

  tags = {
    "desc" = "sample test"
  }

  rule {
    name     = "Test-Rate-Limits-dev"
    priority = 0
    statement {
      rate_based_statement {
        aggregate_key_type = "IP"
        limit              = 500
      }

    visibility_config {
      cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true

    action {
      block {
        custom_response {
          response_code = 403

        }
      }
    }

    visibility_config {
      cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true
      metric_name                = "Test-custom-deny-URL-Rule-dev"
      sampled_requests_enabled   = true
    }
  }
}

Hi all 👋 As was mentioned above, this issue appears to be fixed when using a minimum Terraform version of 1.4.2 and a minimum AWS Provider version of 4.67.0 (preferably Terraform 1.5.3 or later and AWS Provider 5.8.0 or later). If you experience any additional unexpected behaviors with versions that meet these requirements, please open a new issue so that we can investigate further.
