Running terraform vet runs into 404 errors

[tlcncptv]

TL;DR

google_folder.bootstrap: converting TF resource to CAI: getting resource ancestry or parent failed: googleapi: got HTTP response code 404 with body

The instructions say to run the plan. I run the plan, get the json output with terraform show, then run vet. Vet fails because the resource for the parent folder does not exist. I go into the console and create it and the same thing happens. Now I am confused. It appears vet only works if the changes are applied.

For terraform vet to pass, the folder id needs to be in the parent folder.

Expected behavior

I would expect the documentation to reflect the parent folder id, not a parent folder name.

Observed behavior

If I put the folder id, it passes vet $? == 0.

Terraform Configuration

parent_folder = "XXXXXXXXXXXX"

Hi @tlcncptv as stated in the example terraform.tfvars file,

# Optional - for an organization with existing projects or for development/validation.
# Uncomment this variable to place all the example foundation resources under
# the provided folder instead of the root organization.
# The variable value is the numeric folder ID
# The folder must already exist.
# parent_folder = "01234567890"

and in the input variable

variable "parent_folder" {
  description = "Optional - for an organization with existing projects or for development/validation. It will place all the example foundation resources under the provided folder instead of the root organization. The value is the numeric folder ID. The folder must already exist."
  type        = string
  default     = ""
}

the parent folder must be created before starting the deployment of the foundation, and the value must be the numeric folder ID, not the display name

[tlcncptv]

The issue is the example is 'dev_NNNNNNN' or something similar. So I spent time looking for the path name, as opposed to just the id. And yes, I did not read the comments. The only real issue here is the exemplar parent folder should be similar to the numeric id examples for things like project id.

@tlcncptv can you help finding the example you used that is in the format of dev_NNNNNNN?

The one in the file is in the format: parent_folder = "01234567890"

[tlcncptv]

# parent_folder = "01234567890" I am so sorry. I must have fat fingered it at some point giving myself my own confusion as a bonus. I think a format comment might still help: org_id = "REPLACE_ME" # format "000000000000". But, clearly i am more of my own problem than anything else here.
