Cannot import mongodbatlas_database_user if username contains a hyphen

[MontgomeryWatts]

I was trying to import a mongodbatlas_database_user where the username is lambda-producer. I used a hyphen in the name to be in line with the example usage but when running terraform import mongodbatlas_database_user.producer_user <PROJECT-ID>-lambda-producer-admin it's clear from the output that it is interpreted as the username being lambda and the auth_database_name being producer-admin. The import section shows an example with a username that contains an underscore.

Since the documentation claims that syntax works but doesn't, could the docs be changed to show usernames with underscores, or is this broken functionality?

@MontgomeryWatts it's a known bug, reported and corrected and should be included in our next version release but already available in our master branch. See https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/issues/179 and https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/pull/214

Thanks!

That is the main Terraform Changelog. Each provider has its own and the Atlas one is here: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Apparently I still have the same issue, although I'm using v0.6.4.

$ terraform init -v
Terraform v0.12.24
+ provider.mongodbatlas v0.6.4

Your version of Terraform is out of date! The latest version
is 0.13.2. You can update by downloading from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

See https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/issues/179 and https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/pull/214

I want to check the issue and the PR but it's not reachable anymore.
Could you let me know where I can access the information?

@enm10k apologies, as part of the Terraform .13 provider changes we had to move back to a MongoDB repo in Github. The new links are:
See #179 and #214

Thanks for you quick response!

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/mongodb/mongodbatlas/latest/docs/resources/database_user#import

Import
Database users can be imported using project ID and username, in the format project_id-username-auth_database_name, e.g.

After reviewing the information, I realized I misunderstood about auth_database_name.
I specified the actual database name with a hyphen and got an error like the following.

$ terraform import mongodbatlas_database_user.a_database_user <project_id>-user-name-database-name
mongodbatlas_database_user.a_database_user: Importing from ID "<project_id>-user-name-database-name"...

Error: import format error: to import a Database User, use the format {project_id}-{username}-{auth_database_name}

terraform import mongodbatlas_database_user.a_database_user '<project_id>-user-name-$external' worked for me.
Thanks again!
