terraform taint null_resource doesn't work anymore (v0.7.x).

Created on 7 Aug 2016  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: hashicorp/terraform

It seems terraform taint null_resource doesn't work in v0.7.1 anymore (I'm using Terraform v0.7.1-dev).

resource "null_resource" "some_command" {

    provisioner "remote-exec" {
        connection {
            host = "somehost"
            user = "someUser"
        }
        inline = [
          "sudo docker run -d --restart=always -p 8080:8080 someimage
        ]
    }

}
$ terraform taint null_resource.some_command
The resource null_resource.some_command in the module root has been marked as tainted!
$ terraform plan
...
null_resource.some_command: Refreshing state...
...
No changes. Infrastructure is up-to-date. This means that Terraform
could not detect any differences between your configuration and
the real physical resources that exist. As a result, Terraform
doesn't need to do anything.
