google_dns_record_set

[qgriffith-zz]

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.9.11

Affected Resource(s)

• google_dns_record_set TXT records

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "google_dns_record_set" "foo-TXT" {
   name = "on-site.com."
   managed_zone = "${google_dns_managed_zone.on-site-com.name}"
   type = "TXT"
   ttl = "300"
   rrdatas = ["v=spf1 blah foo bar ]
}

Expected Behavior

Creates a TXT record as a single string

"v=spf1 blah foo bar"

Actual Behavior

It is quoting everything in between the spaces which create an invalid SPF record

"v=spf1" "blah" "foo" "bar"

When I add the record via the Google Console it is created properly something in terraform is adding the quotes to everything separated by a space

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a TXT type record with a long string
2. Run terraform apply
3. Look in the google console or use dig to see that the record contains several strings instead of a single string with qutoes.

Hi,

Duplicate of #13463.

The behavior of splitting on spaces and quoting each chunk comes from the GCloud API, not Terraform. See issue linked above for background.

The work around is to add \" around your string. Your configuration should be:

rrdatas = ["\"v=spf1 blah foo bar\""]

I will update the documentation.

Thank you!
