Grafana Terraform provider issues: Error: Provider configuration not present

Grafana Configuration
,
1

I’m using Grafana 9.2.4 on Fedora 29 and I’m trying to provision a datasource with a dashboard using the terraform provider as explained here.

When I run terraform plan I get the following error:

 terraform plan
╷
│ Error: Provider configuration not present
│
│ To work with grafana_data_source.play-ds-grafana-elevation its original provider configuration at provider["registry.terraform.io/grafana/grafana"].play is required, but it has been removed. This occurs
│ when a provider configuration is removed while objects created by that provider still exist in the state. Re-add the provider configuration to destroy grafana_data_source.play-ds-grafana-elevation,
│ after which you can remove the provider configuration again.
╵

I was expecting to see the provisioning plan.

I have two files on my terraform folder. First one is called 'main.tf':

```hcl
terraform {
  required_providers {
    grafana = {
      source  = "grafana/grafana"
      version = "1.36.1"
    }
  }
}

variable "grafana_auth" {
  default = "eyJrIjoiZm1YUEpFam12NlFQUG52NjFBNGNZRERETEtTYVhXcGMiLCJuIjoicHJvdmlzaW9uZXIiLCJpZCI6MX0="
}

variable "grafana_staging_url" {
  default = "https://grafana.example.com:3000/"
}

provider "grafana" {
  url  = var.grafana_staging_url
  auth = var.grafana_auth
}

And my data source on ‘datasources.tf’:

resource "grafana_data_source" "play-ds-grafana-one" {
  provider   = grafana.play
  type       = "marcusolsson-json-datasource"
  name       = "My cool datasource"
  url        = "http://ds.example.com/infrastructure/elevation_data.json"
  uid        = "N4f7zrFVZ"
  is_default = false
}

I’m using the following:

Terraform v1.4.2
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/grafana/grafana v1.36.1

Has anyone encountered this issue?

Thanks.

For anyone who stumbles on this: Just remove the .play from the provider. The following works:

resource "grafana_data_source" "play-ds-grafana-one" {
  provider   = grafana
  type       = "marcusolsson-json-datasource"
  name       = "My cool datasource"
  url        = "http://ds.example.com/infrastructure/elevation_data.json"
  uid        = "N4f7zrFVZ"
  is_default = false
}
