[Bug]: when creating a project with invalid tags, the project is created, but the provider returns an error

[mbyio]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Provider Version

v2.5.0

Terraform Version

v1.12.2

Terraform Edition

Terraform Cloud

Current Behavior

We are new MongoDB Atlas customers.

When I go to create a project, the Terraform provider allows tags with invalid characters.

When I apply the Terraform code, the apply fails with a 400 error explaining that the tags are wrong. But the project is still created.

So now the next time I try to apply the Terraform, it will fail, because a project already exists with the same name.

Terraform configuration to reproduce the issue

resource "mongodbatlas_project" "main" {
  name = "my-project"
  org_id = "my-org"
  tags = {
    atag = "invalid.characters/com"
  }
}

Steps To Reproduce

1. Make a plan to add tags with invalid characters
2. Run terraform apply
3. Apply will fail
4. The project will be created anyway

I found #1668 which seems to be related.

Hi @mbyio,

Thanks for reaching out.

Yes, you're correct, #1668 is related to the same issue.

As @marcosuma mentioned at that time, this is an improvement that needs to be done at the API level. I have reached out to the team to follow-up and see if there are any updates, and will update this issue once I have further information.

Thanks for your patience!

This issue has gone 7 days without any activity and meets the project’s definition of "stale". This will be auto-closed if there is no new activity over the next 7 days. If the issue is still relevant and active, you can simply comment with a "bump" to keep it open, or add the label "not_stale". Thanks for keeping our repository healthy!
