Panic Output

None

Expected Behavior

The synthetic test should have been provisioned in DataDog

Actual Behavior

An error was produced:

module.datadog.datadog_synthetics_test.example_synthetic_test: Creating...
╷
│ Error: error creating synthetics API test from https://api.datadoghq.eu/api/v1/synthetics/tests/api: 400 Bad Request: {"errors":["0.type: '' is not of type 'number'\n\nFailed validating 'type' in schema[0]:\n    {'type': 'number'}\n\nOn instance:\n    ''"]}

│    1: resource "datadog_synthetics_test" "example_synthetic_test" {

╵

Steps to Reproduce

Run terraform apply on the above configuration.

Important Factoids

If I remove the assertion block with the validatesJSONPath condition, it works fine:

module.datadog.datadog_synthetics_test.example_synthetic_test: Creating...
module.datadog.datadog_synthetics_test.example_synthetic_test: Creation complete after 0s [id=qqd-nf9-q2a]

Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

References

This issue is very like this one which was closed. In fact, the example terraform config is taken from that example.

Hi,

I managed to reproduce. Indeed the previous PR didn't fix the issue, as the value is now optional but an empty string is still passed to the backend which causes the error you see. We'll write a fix, thanks for your patience.

Closed by #1966 . The next release is planned for early July. Thanks for reporting the issue!
