Resources don't seem to be adding resource name when created

[jaxxstorm]

What happened?

Creating OCI resources doesn't appear to be adding the pulumi resource name

Steps to reproduce

Create any resource, for example a VCN

vcn = new oci.core.Vcn(
      "example",
      {
        compartmentId: <someid>,
        cidrBlocks: [<someCidr>],
        
      },
  );

Expected Behavior

I would expect the resulting vcn to be called something like example-<randomstring>

Actual Behavior

It creates a vcn with a set name:

vcn<randomstring>

This resource doesn’t have a name property so doesn’t get auto-naming applied by default.

It’s possible that the displayName property should be autonamed? (Though if it’s truly a display name, also doesn’t seem parricularly necessary to autoname it?)

@jaxxstorm which property did you expect to be autonamed?

[jaxxstorm]

I think you're right, displayName seems to be the property I expected to have the name appended.

If you're creating something in pulumi called example I'd expect to be able to go into the console and find it based on that name. However currently, just uses the display name <resource>

I can fix this; we need to set displayName to the autonaming field explicitly on this resource. Example: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-confluentcloud/blob/main/provider/resources.go#L82

[guineveresaenger]

I missed earlier that it appears this entire provider opts to use displayName for resources where others use name. That's a much more involved fix.

@jaxxstorm it looks like we're hardcoding this here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-terraform-bridge/blob/master/pkg/tfbridge/provider.go#L1356

The override functionality lives here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-terraform-bridge/blob/master/pkg/tfbridge/names.go#L147

I wonder if we should allow displayName as an option for the SetAutoNaming function, since we should probably not assume a default name field. If so, could you open an issue for us in pulumi-terraform-bridge @jaxxstorm ?

I don't think you can use this as-is, but I tested a VCN creation with autonaming using the changes in my branch oci-autonaming.

Would be awesome if we could get autonaming working with the OCI provider.
