ignore_changes_to does not handle fields with . in their names #323
Description
I am using this provider to create and manage some microsoft azure resources which don't yet have support within Azure Resource Manager. The returned JSON body from the API has a server generated field @odata.etag which I want to ignore changes to.
example response:
{
"@odata.etag": "\"some server generated value\"",
"name": "my-resource-name"
}
I've tried:
ignore_changes_to = ["@odata.etag"]
ignore_changes_to = ["@odata\\.etag"]
However I've not been able to find a way to make this work, as this provider treats this as being a json path, not a full field name.
Based on how the ignore fields are being split, I don't think there is a way currently for me to ignore a field with a . in it's name.
Where the field splitting is being performed: https://github.com/Mastercard/terraform-provider-restapi/blob/master/restapi/delta_checker.go#L103
Please let me know if I've missed something and there is already a way to escape the . character in the field name.
