Hello Aviatrix Community,



I am experimenting with the Terraform provider. I cannot seem to get the aviatrix_spoke_transit_attachment to work. I keep getting the error below, and it appears to be a catch 22? It is requiring that activemesh be disabled, but activemesh doesn't appear to be capable of being disabled when provisioning a transit or spoke via those Terraform resources. I've attempted to explicitly set the activemesh to disabled, but it turns on anyways & taints that TF resource. 



With that said, I can attach my terraform-generated gateways in the Controller GUI (version 6.6) without issue, and I can replicate those URL Encoded actions via Python Requests without issue.



Does anyone know any workarounds or simply point out what I am doing wrong?

Hi Trevor, good to see you're working with our Terraform provider.



Couple of notes on active mesh. You're going to want to set enable_active_mesh to true, as having it disabled is a legacy capability. In addition, per controller version 6.6 and provider version 2.21.x, configuring active mesh is no longer supported and needs to be removed from your Terraform code. In 2.20.x, the provider will throw a warning if it's configured, to let you know to remove it on updating.



Also, please be aware that we have off the shelve modules, to simplify adoption of deployment through Terraform. You can choose to use them, or leverage them for code examples.
