I am trying to spin up a volume via terraform to attach to droplets that terraform creates. Droplet creation works fine hence provider settings are correct, but volume creation constantly fails with no indication of why in the generated error
digitalocean_volume.glusterStore1: Creating...

region: "" => "SFO2"

Error: Error applying plan:

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.
Anyone have any idea why its failing?

Greetings!
Great question, thank you for posting it here. I ran this by one of our engineers, Sebastian, and he was able to locate the issue in this case. It seems that the actual error on our side was “invalid region name.” It seems that it may need to be “sfo2” instead of “SFO2” and I’ll be honest, I would not have caught that. I hope that helps!
