Unable to move namespaces between projects

[DenMX]

Describe what happened

When i trying import existing cluster i got an exception thath says report bug :)

rancher2:index:Cluster (devops.test):
   error: Preview failed: importing devops.test.cluster: importer for devops.test.cluster returned a empty resource state. This is always the result of a bug in the resource provider - please report this as a bug in the Pulumi provider repository.

i created only provider for feature work with pulumi and then try to import cluster with command:
pulumi import rancher2:index/cluster:Cluster devops.test devops.test.cluster

Sample program

pulumi import rancher2:index/cluster:Cluster devops.test devops.test.cluster

Log output

rancher2:index:Cluster (devops.test):
error: Preview failed: importing devops.test.cluster: importer for devops.test.cluster returned a empty resource state. This is always the result of a bug in the resource provider - please report this as a bug in the Pulumi provider repository.

Hi @DenMX. Thanks for reporting this issue.

Hey, after few days working with pulumi rancher i realised that i was confused with cluster id, so this is not a bug, but exception message also not correct.

I don't know where i can ask a question, so...
Is there easy way to change project for existing namespace in inmported cluster with pulumi rancher?

I found few suggestions:

1. Delete namespace and recreate as pulumi resource
2. Get in variable existing namespace and created "updated" copy with project_id that i want

1st don't work for me. I can't delete namespaces, there is apps it can ruin something.
And 2nd method don't work for me cause pulumi trying create new namespace with same name, so i got an exception.

It will be legendary if pulumi rancher has a method like "move_namespace" or "move_to_project" somewere, where you can just pass namespace and project_id that needs to apply.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not sure if it's possible to change the project_id of an existing project (though I doubt it), or move namespaces between projects.

[DenMX]

Move namespaces between projects.

[iwahbe]

I don't believe that moving namespaces between projects is possible with this provider. pulumi-rancher2 is generated from (and has the same capabilities as) rancher/terraform-provider-rancher2, which has as an open issue rancher/terraform-provider-rancher2#891.

That implies that it is not possible to move namespaces between projects with the provider.

---

If you need to move a namespace between projects, I would try moving the namespace manually (outside of Pulumi), then running pulumi --refresh so Pulumi witnesses the new state. You will then need to adjust your program so it describes your desired state.

[DenMX]

Yea, i found a solution - import from terminal, this command can be generated and executed from code. It's a crutch, but it works. Ty for answers!

[iwahbe]

I'm glad you have found a solution. I'll leave this issue open to track the upstream fix.
