doctl compute domain records list do.${ME}.com
ID Type Name Data Priority Port TTL Weight
12345678 CNAME my-domain ... 0 0 1800 0
But:
doctl compute domain records update do.${ME}.com \
--record-id 12345678 \
--record-ttl 43200
Error: PUT https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/do.${ME}.com/records/12345678: 422 Data needs to end with a dot (.)
And:
https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#update-a-domain-record
“Any attribute valid for the record type can be set to a new value for the record.”
And:
curl \
--request PUT \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
--data '{"ttl": 43200}' https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/do.${ME}.com/records/12345678

Hi there @dazwilkin,
I was able to reproduce this at my end as well, seems to affect CNAME records and NS records.
I will report this, but in the meantime, I found the following workaround, just pass the data as well:
curl \
--request PUT \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
--data '{"ttl": 43200, "data": "your_cname.example.com."}' https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/do.${ME}.com/records/12345678
{"id":"unprocessable_entity","message":"Data needs to end with a dot (.)"}
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
Hello all,
I noticed that the issue was only happening for me with MX and NS record creation. Here is how my Terraform looks in case it helps anyone else.
(Notice the period at the end of each “value”)
resource "digitalocean_record" "mx" {
domain = digitalocean_domain.default.name
type = "MX"
value = "mail.fakedomain.com."
name = "@"
priority = "10"
}
resource "digitalocean_record" "ns1" {
domain = digitalocean_domain.default.name
type = "NS"
name = "@"
value = "ns1.digitalocean.com."
}
resource "digitalocean_record" "ns2" {
domain = digitalocean_domain.default.name
type = "NS"
name = "@"
value = "ns2.digitalocean.com."
}
resource "digitalocean_record" "ns3" {
domain = digitalocean_domain.default.name
type = "NS"
name = "@"
value = "ns3.digitalocean.com."
}
