How can I import (atlantis import ...) a resource whose ID is an ARN?

[marcelo-modolo]

I'm trying to import a resource like aws_iam_policy using arn, but I get the message that the resource doesn't exist (but it does exist).

[jamengual]

did you try quotes?

Does the import command work locally and fail on the atlantis comment?

What's the resource you're trying to import and what is the command you're running? Feel free to redact any corporate information.

An alternative is to use a migrations.tf file with import {} blocks which is available in 1.5.0+

Hi!

I can only run in the comment.

atlantis import --verbose -p user-finops-stg aws_iam_policy.finops_policy arn:aws:iam::012345678901:policy/finops-user-policy-stg
atlantis import --verbose -p user-finops-stg aws_iam_policy.finops_policy 'arn:aws:iam::012345678901:policy/finops-user-policy-stg'
atlantis import --verbose -p user-finops-stg aws_iam_policy.finops_policy "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:policy/finops-user-policy-stg"

I have successfully imported a role whose ID is the name itself, it seems to me (I could be completely wrong) that the problem is with the ARN, unfortunately, a policy cannot be imported using just its name.

Hi!

Importing a resource as a role whose ID is not an ARN no error is reported

Hi!

I found an error in the configuration of the providers (alias) and as there are several accounts with crossed roles and policies it took me a long time to identify, I was able to import the roles but not the policies, after adjusting the accounts that were not correctly identified I was able to import and finally apply the changes.

I apologize for the work I did for all of you and confirm that importing resources using an ARN is working perfectly in Atlantis.

Thanks,
