Changes to scripts and before_scripts not applied

[damirfilipovic]

In the test step properties before_scripts and scripts, changes to the values are not applied when applying the plan. Unless a new resource is being created from scratch.

The workaround is to destroy the resources and reapply, but then the test history is lost.

After further investigation I've observed that this only happens when no other property has been updated in said resource (i.e. test step), so a better workaround is to introduce a nonsense variable (whatever isn't actually used in the test step) that assumes a unique name on every plan. For example:

  variables {
      name     = "${uuid()}"
      source   = "response_header"
      property = "Date"
    }

I have met the same problems too. I want to change the name of the test, but I can't do that until I change the description together. So I do such a workaround as you have done.

resource "runscope_test" "uptime-check" {
  name        = "xxxx"
  description = "${timestamp()}"
  bucket_id   = "${local.bucket_id}"
}
