Delete Vault Provider Terraform code

[AsierArandaS]

Hi all

I'm testing Vault in my Azure test environment using terraform and it works great!!
I need to remove the vault code from my terraform code, but when I do a plan, terraform try to connect to Vault server but the code is commented because I don't want use vault in this environment. I only want to test the app to other clients, not for my test environment.

Acquiring state lock. This may take a few moments...
provider.vault.address
URL of the root of the target Vault server.

Enter a value:

Error: Error refreshing state: 1 error(s) occurred:

• provider.vault: no vault token found

I have the code commented but I don't know if is this is sufficient

/*
provider "vault" {
address = "http://....129:8200"
skip_tls_verify = true
token = "s...Nz9J4U"

}
*/
How could I remove Vault from my terraform code and backend?

Thanks!!

You need to have different states per environment you're plan/applying.
If you want to conditionally use Vault, using the same code/configuration depending on the environment, I suggest you use modules to segment and enable/disable them based on the environment.

As for fixing your current situation, you can manually edit the state or use Terraform State Command

Edit: If you have no resources in your state named vault_*, you can comment out the provider block and then it won't be needed. If you still have these resources in your state, Terraform will try to initialise the provider even if it's commented in code.

Same here.
Even if I remove him from code and from tfstate, he don't disappear.
Like everytime I do the rm command, he removes again and again. Real problem here?

terraform state rm provider.vault 1 items removed.
Item removal successful.

EDIT: Figured it out

You need to go to your tfstate , search for vault resources, and delete them for aws , or from state itself , or from both ;) :

terraform state rm resource.vault.example

After all resources are removed, terraform init won't download anymore vault provider.
See data 's as weel, because if you have any data on state file that have's vault provider, terraform will download that provider too.
