Does the "argocd_repository" resource support only ssh?

Question

Hello.

I'm setting up ArgoCD to use a private repo to deploy the k8s resources defined therein. I can't figure out how to configure this provider to use the repo over https.

resource "argocd_repository" "echo-server-repo" {
  name     = "echo-server-repo"
  type     = "git"
  repo     = "https://github/somerepo.git"
  username = "hello-world-user"
  password = var.gh_token
}

I managed to setup the repository in the UI using these exact same values without issues but the argocd_repository resource keeps giving me:

terraform apply -var-file=tf.tfvars

│ Error: Repository https://github/somerepo.git not found
│ 
│   with argocd_repository.echo-server-repo,
│   on main.tf line 73, in resource "argocd_repository" "echo-server-repo":
│   73: resource "argocd_repository" "echo-server-repo" {
│ 
│ rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = no session information
╵

I'm beginning to suspect that this provider can use github private repos only with ssh like in the example? Is that the case?

Thank you kindly in advance for your help and time.

Hi @evgeniy-ivlev-archie ,

Sorry for the late reply. Do you still have issues with this?
For me your example perfectly works

resource "argocd_repository" "echo-server-repo" {
  name     = "my-private-repo"
  type     = "git"
  repo     = "https://github.com/mkilchhofer/argocd-terraform-support-private.git"
  username = "it-doesnt-matter"
  password = var.gh_token
}

And here a TF apply run:

$ terraform apply

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # argocd_repository.echo-server-repo will be created
  + resource "argocd_repository" "echo-server-repo" {
      + connection_state_status = (known after apply)
      + id                      = (known after apply)
      + inherited_creds         = (known after apply)
      + name                    = "my-private-repo"
      + password                = (sensitive value)
      + repo                    = "https://github.com/mkilchhofer/argocd-terraform-support-private.git"
      + type                    = "git"
      + username                = "it-doesnt-matter"
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Do you want to perform these actions?
  Terraform will perform the actions described above.
  Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

  Enter a value: yes

argocd_repository.echo-server-repo: Creating...
argocd_repository.echo-server-repo: Creation complete after 3s [id=https://github.com/mkilchhofer/argocd-terraform-support-private.git]

Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Repo then appears in Argo CD:

Ahh you are using an old fork:

• https://github.com/jojand/terraform-provider-argocd

Can you please switch to our provider?
