Error importing: failed to parse resource address 'aws_instance.keepstore.1': Unexpected value for InstanceType field: "1"

when I execute terraform plan
it shows me aws_instance.keepstore.1 to be created, but I have an instance with that number

If I use terraform import aws_instance.keepstore[1] i-51e996d1 instead, it doesn't complain. But actually assigns the imported state to aws_instance.keepstore resource, which makes me think this is a bug.

[nicocesar]

I confirm the bug . I used import, inspected the state file, changed "aws_instance.keepstore" to "aws_instance.keepstore.X" and works. So we just need the validation not to be there.

Same issue as #7691

Fixed #7691 which is the same here.

@mitchellh @nicocesar Fix in #7691 does not seem to work if using modules. eg:

terraform import module.some_module.aws_instance.swarm_managers[0] i-xxxxxxx

[xiaodong-xie]

I tried something like

terraform import module.some_module.aws_instance."swarm_managers[0] i-xxxxxxx"
terraform import module.some_module.aws_instance."swarm_managers[0]" i-xxxxxxx

and it worked fine.

I'm on terraform v0.11.13

Hi @xiaodong-xie , I believe that you wanted to say:
terraform import module.some_module.aws_instance."swarm_managers[0]" i-xxxxxxx

I tested the version you sent and didn't worked!

[xiaodong-xie]

Hehe, yeah, sorry for the typo. @rzamana.

Did you use something like terraform state rm module.some_module.aws_instance.swarm_managers before terraform import?
