Incorrect documentation for datasource aws_ecs_cluster

[zoltan-toth-mw]

Hi there,

According to the documentation the aws_ecs_cluster datasource exports the arn attribute.
However when I tried to use it terraform told me that it doesn't exists:

Resource 'data.aws_ecs_cluster.pub' does not have attribute 'arn' for variable 'data.aws_ecs_cluster.pub.arn'

I also checked the aws_ecs_cluster resource documentation which exports the arn as an attribute called id. Referring to id "${data.aws_ecs_cluster.pub.id}" instead of arn solved the problem.

So the documentation is incorrect. aws_ecs_cluster datasource exports an id attirbute (containing the arn) instead of arn as the documentation says.

Terraform Version

0.9.8

Affected Resource(s)

datasource aws_ecs_cluster

Terraform Configuration Files

data "aws_ecs_cluster" "pub" {
  cluster_name = "${var.public_cluster_name}"
}
resource "aws_ecs_service" "service" {
  cluster = "${data.aws_ecs_cluster.pub.arn}" # no arn exists but id
}
