Error creating RIR - not supported by the TextConsumer, can be resolved by supporting TextUnmarshaler interface

[alexandrud]

I know the provider has not been tested with 4.0.2, but I'm adding this here maybe it can help when working on a version for 4.x.

Creating RIRs fails on a netbox 4.0.2 (netbox community docker image) deployed in kubernetes. The instance is configured on the subpath "/netbox".

The same version without the subpath, tested on a local machine, had no issue creating the RIRs so this is very odd. Seems very similar to #263.

Other resources are created without issues.

Terraform Version

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

Create the RIR

Actual Behavior

Exits with error.

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy a netbox 4.0.2.

Add a resource of type netbox_rir and try to apply it.

Important Factoids

• running https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox-docker
• it's configured on a subpath "/netbox"
• it's deployed in kubernetes and has an nginx ingress controller in front

Upon further investigation this seem to have nothing to do with the provider, rather it has something to do with the deployed instance in kubernetes. Running with -parallelism=1 doesn't completely fix the issue, but it does behave better.

[alexandrud]

Even with --parallelism=1 this is still happening for "netbox_rir" resources. What's even more odd is that it actually creates the resources and then fails. Upon a subsequent run the rir resources appear as tainted.
