• The resources and data sources in this provider are generated from the CloudFormation schema, so they can only support the actions that the underlying schema supports. For this reason submitted bugs should be limited to defects in the generation and runtime code of the provider. Customizing behavior of the resource, or noting a gap in behavior are not valid bugs and should be submitted as enhancements to AWS via the CloudFormation Open Coverage Roadmap.

@vaniita Thanks for raising this issue 👏.

We have been suppressing schema updates for

• AWS::QuickSight::Analysis
• AWS::QuickSight::Dashboard
• AWS::QuickSight::DataSet
• AWS::QuickSight::Template

as the generated Terraform schema Go code fails to compile with errors such as

25:25: internal compiler error: NewBulk too big: nbit=29982 count=729981 nword=937 size=683992197

Please file a bug report including a short program that triggers the error.

Most immediately we can look at increasing GitHub Action runner size to see if we can compile the generated code.

It seems that it's not build machine memory that is the limiting factor here, more size limits on maps inside the Go compiler.
We will need to investigate changes to the Terraform schema code generator -- e.g. generate multiple sub-schemas that reference each other rather a single large schema object.
