Expected Behavior

Migration snowflake_role -> snowflake_account_role without DROP ROLE.
I would like to avoid state manipulation using CLI.

Actual Behavior

Removing resource snowflake_role caused resource destroy and drop role.

Steps to Reproduce

I've used snowflake role resource

resource "snowflake_role" "rag_ingestion" {
  name = local.snowflake.role
}

After updating to 0.94.x resource has been deprecated in favor of snowflake_account_role.
Therefore, I added new resource with proper import.

resource "snowflake_role" "rag_ingestion" {
  name = local.snowflake.role
}

resource "snowflake_account_role" "rag_ingestion" {
  name = local.snowflake.role
}

import {
  id = snowflake_role.rag_ingestion.id
  to = snowflake_account_role.rag_ingestion
}

Resource has been imported correctly.

{"@level":"info","@message":"Apply complete! Resources: 1 imported, 0 added, 1 changed, 0 destroyed.","@module":"terraform.ui","@timestamp":"2024-09-02T07:18:52.956116Z","changes":{"add":0,"change":1,"import":1,"remove":0,"operation":"apply"},"type":"change_summary"}

In the next run, I tried to remove deprecated resources along with import statement. It ended with

resource "snowflake_account_role" "rag_ingestion" {
  name = local.snowflake.role
}

However, removing resource snowflake_role caused resource destroy and drop role.

Hey @myshon. Thanks for reaching out to us.

If you don't want to use terraform rm as described in our resource migration guide, you can use the equivalent: removed block (https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/resources/syntax#removing-resources).
