How to use computer_instance_migrate?

[TraGicCode]

We are trying to convert to the new way of specifying compute instance disks. I noticed that @danawillow merged in a feature to perform a migration. How do we run this migration to ensure our instances do not get destroyed and recreated and the state gets migrated from v3 to v4 correctly?

[danawillow]

Once you download the next release (it'll be out today), you should get migrated automatically. I think this happens when you first run terraform plan.

[TraGicCode]

We actually cloned master and built the provider using go. We then pointed our tf code at our custom built provider and did a plan and nothing got migrated. Is this a bug?

[TraGicCode]

All it informed us was that the resource was going to blow away our instance and recreate it.

It looks like we have a bug in this. The good news is it's really easy to mitigate. We'll be releasing a v1.0.1 ASAP to resolve the problem. Sorry for the issues!

[TraGicCode]

Thanks for the quick update. We will be waiting

[TraGicCode]

@paddycarver I'm back. Now it's constantly showing a modification in place needs to happen but never actually performs it on the apply. It looks like it's not actually updating the attached_disk.0.source attribute

[danawillow]

Can you post the output of terraform show and terraform plan?

@danawillow Are you all on some sort of public chat where i can send this via Private message?

While I want to be clear this is not an official HashiCorp resource, HashiCorp has no influence there, and there's no guarantee that HashiCorp employees will be logged in there, Dana and I happen to both be in the GCP community Slack in the Terraform channel.

Yup, Paddy and I are in the GCP slack which you can get an invite for at https://gcp-slack.appspot.com/. I'm danahoffman there and he's paddy.

It's almost like my invite got lost into oblivion.
