Use-cases

Currently, ExpectError field only allows checking errors, not warnings. This makes provider developers hard to test certain scenarios where warnings are expected and want to validate the exact behavior in tests.

Any plan on this? I would like to test some warnings as well.

Hi @arxeiss 👋

Thank you for your interest.

We are currently in the process of porting the code that forms the basis for testing from SDKv2 to a separate terraform-plugin-testing repository. This will be finalised and announced in the near future.

One of the first features that is being added to terraform-plugin-testing will be the ability to test whether warnings are raised during test steps.

Amazing, thanks

Unfortunately we have uncovered an issue during the implementation of the PR for Add ability to test whether warnings are raised during test steps. The issue is detailed in a comment on that PR. Consequently, the changes outlined in this issue will be scheduled for later in the year as part of an effort to modernize the acceptance testing framework. Apologies for any inconvenience.

I'm going to transfer this issue so any existing subscribers, etc. can track updates over in the new repository.
