pulumi up/preview hangs for DNS record

[the-gigi]

Describe what happened

When running pulumi up it hangs forever when it needs to create or update a DNS record. It works fine with a Zone.

❯ pulumi up --show-replacement-steps -s production -C l10/cloudflare
Previewing update (production):
     Type                        Name                   Plan
     pulumi:pulumi:Stack         cloudflare-production  running
 +   └─ cloudflare:index:Record  _dmarc                 create

I also tried to import an existing DNS record and got this message:

pulumi import -s production -C l10/cloudflare \
   cloudflare:index/record:Record _dmarc \
   5e284095faa7f1d18edd609de6e279ca/dd2d000da48d35d846569e0dae35e084

Previewing import (production):
     Type                        Name                   Plan       Info
     pulumi:pulumi:Stack         cloudflare-production
 =   └─ cloudflare:index:Record  _dmarc                 import     4 warnings

Diagnostics:
  cloudflare:index:Record (_dmarc):
    warning: One or more imported inputs failed to validate. This is almost certainly a bug in the `cloudflare` provider. The import will still proceed, but you will need to edit the generated code after copying it into your program.
    warning: cloudflare:index/record:Record resource '_dmarc' has a problem: Invalid combination of arguments. "data": one of `content,data,value` must be specified. Examine values at '_dmarc.data'.
    warning: cloudflare:index/record:Record resource '_dmarc' has a problem: Invalid combination of arguments. "content": one of `content,data,value` must be specified. Examine values at '_dmarc.content'.
    warning: cloudflare:index/record:Record resource '_dmarc' has a problem: Invalid combination of arguments. "value": one of `content,data,value` must be specified. Examine values at '_dmarc.value'.

Is the Java flavor of the Cloudflare provider fully supported? DNS records is arguably the primary Cloudflare resource. Looking at the Github issues I see only two Java issues (one closed and one open).

Please advise how to fix or troubleshoot this problem.

Sample program

Here is a sample code, very similar to the example program

import com.pulumi.Context;
import com.pulumi.cloudflare.Record;
import com.pulumi.cloudflare.RecordArgs;

  private static void createRecord(String zoneId) {
      new Record(
        name,
        RecordArgs.builder()
            .zoneId(zoneId)
            .name("_dmarc")
            .content("\"v = DMARC1; p = none;\"")
            .type("TXT")
            .ttl(3600)
            .build());
}

Log output

The logs are empty.

Thank you for filing this issue, @the-gigi.

I will verify with the team that the Java SDK has the same behavior as the other Pulumi languages. We'll take a look - thank you for providing us with your code, and for trying multiple provider versions as well.

@guineveresaenger Update: I managed to create a new DNS record when the name of the record include the domain:

_dmarc.insurbot.com instead of just _dmarc. The only _dmarc name is how the record are imported, which is broken and missing the "content" field. I guess this is an upstream issue.

In the end instead of importing into Pulumi, I had to delete the original DNS record and re-create it using Pulumi.

Anyway, even if the import is corrupted or using invalid name without the domain, it shouldn't hang.

@the-gigi - glad you found a resolution. I agree that hanging is a bad experience. We are working on validating inputs for our users, so I'll keep this issue open to track this.
