terraform provider

I am using https://github.com/HPE/terraform-provider-hpe 1.5.0 and trying to create a VM instance. That repo does not have an issue tracker so I am posting here.

Error: The terraform-provider-hpe_v1.5.0.exe plugin crashed!

This is always indicative of a bug within the plugin. It would be immensely
helpful if you could report the crash with the plugin's maintainers so that it
can be fixed. The output above should help diagnose the issue.

So I got this to work on the dev-1.6.0 branch.

However, that branch has schema issues I think if I create a VM. If I edit a service_plan_options for say max_memory, it proposes changes to network_interfaces, labels, connection_info and volumes, and that is not in the surface area of the change.

This is not ready for actual use.

If I apply the change it seemingly does the right thing, but you can't have a plan itemizing out things that will change unnecessarily.
