[BUG]: Importing GitHub EMU group mapping fails for more than 1 team

[jmaixl]

Expected Behavior

Importing a EMU group mapping should require the group ID and team slug and should not fail if the group is connected to multiple teams.

Documentation reference:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/integrations/github/latest/docs/resources/emu_group_mapping#group_id-1

Actual Behavior

Importing a EMU group mapping fails if the group is connected to multiple teams.

See error returned:

Line 34 in 63076f7

if len(group.Teams) != 1 {

Hey @jmaixl,

Could you post an example of what the resource definition would look like of the mapping you are trying to import?

[jmaixl]

Ideally the mapping is identified by both the group ID and the team slug:

terraform import github_emu_group_mapping.example_emu_group_mapping 28836:my-team-slug

@jmaixl Thanks! But I meant the code for resource "github_emu_group_mapping" "example_emu_group_mapping" { ... }

AKA what structure are you trying to import it into. Otherwise I'm not sure I can reproduce what you are experiencing

[jmaixl]

Oh, the resource definition in the documentation looks OK. resource "github_emu_group_mapping" "example_emu_group_mapping" { team_slug = "emu-test-team" # The GitHub team name to modify group_id = 28836 # The group ID of the external group to link } It is just that the import uses the group ID but does not handle the team properly.

@jmaixl I think I wasn't able to express myself clearly.
Can you supply us with an example config snippet which describes how the terraform code should like if if you were to successfully import the mapping?

I want to be able to reproduce the issue

[jmaixl]

First create two group mappings from the same group to 2 different teams (also known as creating a team using a group to populate its membership). This can be done in Terraform but also manually so you can import them afterward.

resource "github_emu_group_mapping" "example_emu_group_mapping" {
  team_slug = "test-team-1" # The GitHub team name to modify
  group_id = 28836 # The group ID of the external group to link
}
resource "github_emu_group_mapping" "example_emu_group_mapping" {
  team_slug = "test-team-2" # The GitHub team name to modify
  group_id = 28836 # The group ID of the external group to link
}

Now, this import will fail:

# terraform import github_emu_group_mapping.example_emu_group_mapping 28836

[deiga]

Thank you! 🙏

From this I gather that maybe we should change the import to use a combined import ID like <team-slug>:<group-id> . What do you think?

[jmaixl]

Yes, I think that's a good idea (and what I was thinking above
