Warning from Terraform when use cisco-open/meraki provider

Hugh-Nguyen — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 13:59:30 GMT

Hi,

We have been using Terraform on Meraki using cisco-open provider. Recently, when I run terraform init, I got this warning

Warning: Additional provider information from registry
│
│ The remote registry returned warnings for registry.terraform.io/cisco-open/meraki:
│ - For users on Terraform 0.13 or greater, this provider has moved to CiscoDevNet/meraki. Please update your source in required_providers.

Does this mean we have to use the one from CiscoDevNet now? I can't find any information regarding this. the cisco-open one just got updated like 2 weeks ago. And look like Terraform for meraki by cisco-open is the official project whereas the one in CiscoDevNet is community driven and not being supported by Cisco.

Thank you

I thought I remembered seeing a post about this recently on this community, but I can't find it now.

I did find this.

Yeah this is very confusing to determine which provider to use as both seem to be actively developed.

I missed this message before.
The official provider is the cisco-open one. I will check on Monday where did this message come from.

For reference @obrigg these are the two providers that are available. Both seem to be owned by Cisco/Meraki and being developed concurrently

https://github.com/cisco-open/terraform-provider-meraki

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cisco-open/meraki/1.0.2-beta

When using the above module, we get the aforementioned error to use the other provider:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-meraki

-- After reading details of the repo I see the following:
| Please note that this Terraform provider is developed and maintained by a dedicated community of

| contributors. It is not directly supported by Cisco. While we strive to ensure the provider is robust and

| reliable, its development relies on community contributions and engagement.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/CiscoDevNet/meraki/0.1.7

Thanks, Franco. I’ll take care of the confusion.

Until further notice, Cisco-open is the provider developed and maintained by the Meraki BU.

Hi Oren, have you found anything about this yet?

Yes, @Hugh-Nguyen,

Due to the confusion between the providers, there is a plan for the official provider to move to the DevNet account and for the CX provider to move to a new location.
The warning message was added too early as nothing has changed or communicated yet.

You can ignore it while we are taking care of it in the background. Proper communication will go out as soon as there is an update to share.

Update: the warning has been removed from the Cisco-open provider.
