Hi all,

I’m trying to use terraform to create VMs on our Nutanix cluster and I’ve encountered issues when trying to define the project name i’m trying to assign the new VM to.

I have created a variable that contains the project name and set the project_reference on the machine to point to that variable.

When running terraform plan everything seems to be working as expected but when i apply the terraform, the terraform crashes with the following error:

│ Error: Plugin did not respond
│
│   with nutanix_virtual_machine.tf-build-project-testd0],
│   on main.tf line 75, in resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "tf-build-project-test":
│   75: resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "tf-build-project-test" {
│
│ The plugin encountered an error, and failed to respond to the plugin.(*GRPCProvider).ApplyResourceChange call. The plugin logs may contain more details.
╵

Stack trace from the terraform-provider-nutanix_v1.2.0.exe plugin:

panic: interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not string

Has anyone encountered this issue or was able to successfully deploy a new VM under an existing project using terraform.

If i’m trying to deploy without setting the project everything runs smoothly

We are using AHV as the hypervisor.

Thanks,
