Error: resource aws_eip_association doesn't support import

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @JamieGruener as hashicorp/terraform#18281. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.7
+ provider.aws v1.14.1

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_eip" "openvpn" {
  vpc = true
  instance = "${aws_instance.openvpn.id}"
  depends_on = ["aws_internet_gateway.default"]
}

resource "aws_eip_association" "openvpn_eip_assoc" {
  instance_id   = "${aws_instance.openvpn.id}"
  allocation_id = "${aws_eip.openvpn.id}"
}

Crash Output

Expected Behavior

Terraform would import the resource.

Actual Behavior

PS> terraform import aws_eip_association.ovpn_eip_assoc eipassoc-6xxxxxx9
aws_eip_association.ovpn_eip_assoc: Importing from ID "eipassoc-6xxxxxx9"...

Error: aws_eip_association.ovpn_eip_assoc (import id: eipassoc-6xxxxxx9): import aws_eip_association.ovpn_eip_assoc (id: eipassoc-69411059): resource aws_eip_association doesn't support import

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform import aws_eip_association.openvpn-eip-assoc eipassoc-6xxxxxx9

Additional Context

The EIP existed prior to being documented in Terraform. Also, the documentation suggests that the resource exists specifically to solve the problem I'm having, namely connecting an existing EIP to an aws_instance resource. (https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/eip_association.html)

Just in case I misunderstood the documentation, I've tried both the allocation ID and association ID as the resource ID to import.

Support for this has been merged into master and will release with version 1.26.0 of the AWS provider, likely middle of next week. 👍
