Not supported with latest google provider?

[danfinn]

Looks like this module has the following requirement:

terraform providers

Providers required by configuration:
.
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google]
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/kubernetes]
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/helm]
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm] ~> 3.0
├── provider[registry.terraform.io/gavinbunney/kubectl] >= 1.7.0
└── module.address-fe
    └── provider[registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google] >= 3.53.0, < 6.0.0

however the latest google provider is past 6.0.0, I've currently got 6.25.0 installed which is keeping me from being able to use this module. Any suggestions? Is this module still being maintained?

Hi @danfinn - Looks like you will need to update to v4.1 of this module: https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-google-address/releases/tag/v4.1.0

module "address-fe" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/address/google"
  version = "~> 4.1"

  names  = ["external-facing-ip"]
  global = true
}

[danfinn]

Thanks @apeabody, looks like a doc update is needed there. That got me further but now I'm getting this error:

Error: Error creating GlobalAddress: googleapi: Error 400: Invalid value for field 'resource.network': ''. The field must be specified for reserving internal IP Addresses. Please set a valid value for the field and retry the operation., invalid

from the following:

module "address-fe" {
  source  = "terraform-google-modules/address/google"
  version = "~> 4.1"

  project_id = var.project_id
  region = var.region_full

  names  = ["${local.prefix}-nginx-external-ip"]
  global = true
}

do you know what the resource.network field is that it's looking for that is referenced in the error? Also, that error mentions "for reserving internal IP Addresses" however I'm looking for a public IP.

Hi @danfinn - I'm not that familiar with this module, but looks like address_type defaults to "INTERNAL", you might want "EXTERNAL"? For "INTERNAL", you probably need to set subnetwork.

[danfinn]

I am looking for an external IP and the README for the project says:

"External IP addresses can be reserved by setting the global input var to true and omitting the subnetwork"

which I have done in my code above. I think I have it right according to the README?

Hi @danfinn - Looking through the code quickly, it appears you probably need to pass address_type = "EXTERNAL", otherwise it will default to "INTERNAL" and require a subnetwork. Let me know if that resolves you issues and I'll include in a PR I opened to suggest some fixes to the docs.
