Terraform

v1.2.1

Terraform Provider

v2.1.1

VMware vSphere

v.7.0.3

Description

Provided does not upload content library items when file_url points to a local path because it tries to parse the iso as a OVF file. The same iso file passed with file_url containing an HTTP url is uploaded correctly.

Affected Resources

resource/vsphere_content_library_item

Terraform Configuration

provider "vsphere" {
  user = var.user
  password= var.password
  vsphere_server=  var.vsphere_server
}

data "vsphere_content_library" "iso_library" {
  name = var.iso_library
}

resource "vsphere_content_library_item" "test_iso" {
  name        = "Test"
  description = "Test"
  file_url    = "/tmp/test.iso"
  library_id  = data.vsphere_content_library.iso_library.id
  type        = "iso"
}

Debug Output

data.vsphere_content_library.iso_library: Reading...
data.vsphere_content_library.iso_library: Read complete after 1s [id=<library_id>]

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated
with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # vsphere_content_library_item.test_iso will be created
  + resource "vsphere_content_library_item" "test_iso" {
      + description = "Test"
      + file_url    = "/tmp/test.iso"
      + id          = (known after apply)
      + library_id  = "<library_id>"
      + name        = "Test"
      + type        = "iso"
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

The local iso should be uploaded to content library.

Actual Behavior

The provider tries to parse the iso as a OVF file when you use a local path in file_url. The same iso file passed with file_url containing an HTTP url is uploaded correctly.
