Confirmation

• This is a bug with an existing resource and is not a feature request or enhancement. Feature requests should be submitted with Cloudflare Support or your account team.
• I have searched the issue tracker and my issue isn't already found.
• I have replicated my issue using the latest version of the provider and it is still present.

Terraform and Cloudflare provider version

Terraform v 1.9.4, Terraform v 1.9.5
Cloudflare Provider v 4.41.0

Affected resource(s)

• cloudflare_zero_trust_tunnel_cloudflared_config
• cloudflare_zero_trust_tunnel_cloudflared

Terraform configuration files

data "cloudflare_zone" "this" {
  name = local.cloudflare_config["root_zone_name"]

Expected output

Config adjusted successfully for the provisioned tunnel.

Actual output

The tunnel is provisioned succesfully, but the tunnel configuration resource apply fails with "Authentication error (10000)" regardless if it's being provisioned from scratch, or updated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use api token as your provider auth method
2. Use attached code
3. Run apply

Additional factoids

I've thought that this might be due to errors in Terraform code on my part, so I've imported the config "clicked out" in the UI, then ran a plan to figure out discrepancies. Import went fine, the following plan has succeeded and shown some discrepancies I've reconciled into the code.

After making those code changes, I ran apply action - but it failed at plan stage, with the Authentication Error (10000). I have destroyed the entire stack, ran apply again, and it fails with the Authentication Error (10000) as before.

I've checked the token used for authentication; It has all the necessary permissions to edit tunnels. I can also modify the config in the UI, so it's most probably not associated with permissions at all.

References

Perhaps it is linked to #3950 in some way/combines with this issue from the import part onwards?

Thank you for reporting this issue! For maintainers to dig into issues it is required that all issues include the entirety of TF_LOG=DEBUG output to be provided. The only parts that should be redacted are your user credentials in the X-Auth-Key, X-Auth-Email and Authorization HTTP headers. Details such as zone or account identifiers are not considered sensitive but can be redacted if you are very cautious. This log file provides additional context from Terraform, the provider and the Cloudflare API that helps in debugging issues. Without it, maintainers are very limited in what they can do and may hamper diagnosis efforts.

This issue has been marked with triage/needs-information and is unlikely to receive maintainer attention until the log file is provided making this a complete bug report.

Attached whatever I could find about the resources in question in the debug log section. I won't be able to provide the full debug log - the Cloudflare config is just a small part of a bigger module with multiple providers.

Nevermind, i've located the source of the issue, it was me all along ;)
There's a typo in the code, I've accidentally put zone_id in place of account_id - after fixing this goof, the config apply goes through. Closing this one, sorry for the mess!

thanks for this! spent an awkward amount of time accidentally having account_id where zone_id was supposed to be 🤦
