So I have been trying to explore Infrastructure as Code in my spare time and while trying out terraform I get this warning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Warning: Interpolation-only expressions are deprecated\non main.tf line 40, in resource \"vsphere_virtual_machine\" \"vm\":\n40: resource_pool_id = \"${data.vsphere_resource_pool.pool.id}\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\nSeems like post version 0.11, resource declaration doesn\u2019t need special syntax i.e. ${} which was not reflected in the offical documentation. So the simple solution was to let go off of the ${} expression. Since the current version is 1.19, I guess I am a late comer joining the party however equally baffled how this wrong documentation wasn\u2019t stirring any noise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solution:\nresource_pool_id = \"data.vsphere_resource_pool.pool.id\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n However, after following the latest format and trying to run terraform apply,<\/em> I got an error:<\/p>\n\n\n\nError: could not find resource pool ID \"data.vsphere_resource_pool.pool.id\": ServerFaultCode: The object 'vim.ResourcePool:data.vsphere_resource_pool.pool.id' has already been deleted or has not been completely created<\/pre>\n\n\n\nNo wonder the official documentation still had the old format in place. So, until Vmware provider implements update on their side, we have to go with the deprecated syntax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
