Description

Add support for importing a azuredevops_git_repository resource.

What I'm focused on is the ability to define the resource in the state file so that Terraform won't attempt to create the repo when it already exists and then fail to run to completion.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azuredevops_git_repository

Hi @DamonStamper This feature is in reviewing :D. #118

[skinamdar]

@xuzhang3 Since the importing of repos is still a work in progress, I am trying to initialize multiple repo's under the same project to match a template repo.

backend.tf

provider "azuredevops"{
  version = ">= 0.0.1"
  org_service_url       = var.AZDO_ORG_SERVICE_URL
  personal_access_token = var.AZDO_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
}

data "azuredevops_project" "project" {
  project_name = "workflow"
}
data "azuredevops_project" "project-base" {
  project_name = "workflow-base"
}

data "azuredevops_git_repositories" "base_repo" {
  project_id = data.azuredevops_project.project-base.id
  name       = "workflow-base"
}

resource "azuredevops_git_repository" "customer1" {
  project_id = data.azuredevops_project.project.id
  name       = "Customer1"
  parent_repository_id  = data.azuredevops_git_repositories.base_repo.project_id
  initialization {
    init_type = "Clean"
  }
}

But when I run terraform apply I get the following error related to authorization

azuredevops_git_repository.customer1: Creating...

Error: Failed to locate parent repository [######]: TF401019: The Git repository with name or identifier ###### does not exist or you do not have permissions for the operation you are attempting.

  on test-project-stg.tf line 80, in resource "azuredevops_git_repository" "customer1":
  80: resource "azuredevops_git_repository" "customer1" {

I confirmed the access token I'm using to authenticate has full permissions and googling this issues just suggests it's a permission issue.

My question is - have you encountered this before, or have another suggestion on how to fork repo's or initalize multiple repo's following a base repo in a specific project?

For example - the end result is
/project
-> /repo1
-> /repo2
-> /repo3

Where the three repo's are initialized from repo base
/project-base
-> /repo-base

Thanks!

This may be related to failure to fork a repo - trying to troubleshoot how to resolve the issue.

@skinamdar The data source azuredevops_git_repositories you use will fetch all the repository belong to this project. The configuration parent_repository_id = data.azuredevops_git_repositories.base_repo.project_id is referenced to the project ID. You can get the repository ids from data.azuredevops_git_repositories.base_repo.repositories, you need to iterate it as it is an array
