Deleted MX record fails refresh in DO

[ndarilek]

Was having some issues with the Digital Ocean provider, so I manually deleted an MX record thinking Terraform would either recreate it or prune the state file. Bad idea, apparently. Now all Terraform actions fail because there is an error retrieving the record for the deleted API element.

Lesson learned, but it would be nice to have some mechanism manual or automatic for cleaning up state. Maybe if the API call fails with a 404, the Digital Ocean provider specifically or providers in general can mark the resource as missing and recreate it on the next run if possible?

And, more generally, it'd be nice to be able to dump and restore state files. Ideally Terraform does all necessary edits, but it's bound to make mistakes at this early phase and it'd be nice if I can clean those up.

Any tips on how I can get this digitalocean_record out of my tfstate in the meantime?

This is just a bug in Terraform. I've tagged it as such. Can you give us the error logs? It'd help us.

State files are getting an overhaul in 0.3 which should also help with this, but we'll keep that as a separate issue.

Fixed

How do I obtain an error log? Also, since this issue is closed, how
should it be sent?

Or was it resolved?

Thanks.

I resolved it!
