Terraform plan and apply fails when resource exists in state, but not in Coralogix backend

[Ross10x]

When a dashboard folder resource managed by Terraform is deleted from Coralogix using the Coralogix UI, the Terraform plan / apply can no longer be run without erroring.

Affected Resource(s)

coralogix_dashboards_folder

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "coralogix_dashboards_folder" "platform" {
name = "Platform"
}

Terraform Version

v1.9.8

Provider Version

v2.0.4
Note: I'm aware that v2.0.6 is newest version as of raising this issue, however, we are pinned to 2.0.4 due to other issues, and nothing in the changelog indicates using v2.0.6 will resolve this issue

Debug Output

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

│ Error: Dashboard folder "b79bce15-7b5c-4a39-92bd-c2edbebad100" is in state, but no longer exists in Coralogix backend
│ with coralogix_dashboards_folder.platform,
│ on ./dashboard_folders.tf line 24, in resource "coralogix_dashboards_folder" "platform":
│ 24: resource "coralogix_dashboards_folder" "platform" {
│
│ b79bce15-7b5c-4a39-92bd-c2edbebad100 will be recreated when you apply

Expected Behavior

On a read with no backend resource found, the provider should remove the resource from the state, not fail the build.

This is an issue, as Terraform apply runs an implicit plan before any actions are taken, and this error makes it so it is not possible to run an apply and fix the state issue.

Actual Behavior

Instead of handling the error, the plan/apply is failed

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a dashboard folder resource using Terraform provider
2. delete dashboard folder resource from Coralogix using Coralogix ui
3. run Terraform plan or apply using state from step 1

Hi - thanks for bringing this up, we'll take a look

[sergio10x]

This behaviour is also impacting the "terraform destroy" action. When a resource is not found by the API, the delete action errors instead of removing it from state.

Affected Resource(s)

coralogix_dashboards_folder, coralogix_dashboard, coralogix_alert

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "coralogix_dashboards_folder" "test" {
  name = "Test-Folder"
}

Terraform Version

v1.9.8

Provider Version

v2.0.5

Expected Behavior

On a delete action, the provider should ignore “resource not found” errors since the operation was intended. It should then remove the resource from the statefile.

Actual Behavior

Terraform destroy fails during the implicit plan due the resource not found.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a dashboard folder resource using Terraform provider
2. Delete dashboard folder resource from Coralogix using Coralogix ui
3. Run Terraform destroy using state from step 1
