Preview failed: provider does not support importing resources

[schradert]

Describe what happened

I can't seem to import many different kinds of objects despite the documentation offering import examples. Objects I can't import into my stack are:

1. Task
2. Table
3. FunctionSql
4. EmailNotificationIntegration
5. GrantAccountRole
6. GrantOwnership
7. GrantPrivilegesToAccountRole

All of these support import according to these docs

Somehow I've created a situation where importing Schemas doesn't work either (same error message) even though they did when I submitted this report earlier.

EDIT: It's not consistent! I was able to import the particular schema I tried above again, but now two different ones are failing. Still can't get any of the original resource types posted above to import

Hi @schradert, thank you for filing this issue. We're sorry you're running into trouble.

Can you help us out by providing us with more details about your setup and your workflow so we can reproduce the behavior on our end?

1. The import command you ran
2. The full error output from your import attempt

Thank you very much!

Okay after working through this a bit more, I have discovered that this error shows up consistently for me when importing resources that don't exist or have resources they are dependent on that have not been imported yet. I managed to import all of these resource types after resolving these issues. The full error output was just the title of this bug report, nothing else, and the import commands varied (inline and with --file) but always with the correct import id and name.

yeah I think we should use this ticket to track the need to improve this error message. It seems to be used any time a resource import fails, but this is rarely because the provider does not support import. Usually, it just means that a specific resource can't be imported, which may be due to a cloud limitation, or just a problem with how the import was configured.
