Automatically suffix zone name on record names (AWS)

[delitescere]

The name property in aws_route53_record resources should not have to be fully qualified by the user.

If the value of the name property does not already end with the name property of the associated zone, then that zone name should be automatically suffixed.

resource "aws_route53_zone" "main" {
  name = "example.com"
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "www" {
  zone_id = "${aws_route53_zone.main.zone_id}"
  ttl = "60"
# the following should be able to be specified simply as "www"
  name = "www.example.com"
  type = "A" 
  records = ["${aws_instance.www.public_ip}"]
}

I've gotten around this by referencing the aws_route53_zone resource, but would prefer to not even have to do this.

resource "aws_route53_zone" "main" {
  name = "example.com"
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "www" {
  zone_id = "${aws_route53_zone.main.zone_id}"
  ttl = "60"
  name = "www.${aws_route53_zone.main.name}"     # <---- reference the aws_route53_zone
  type = "A" 
  records = ["${aws_instance.www.public_ip}"]
}

Agreed. I ended up doing same.

Thanks for reporting.
