Cdktf: Upgraded Packages And Now Logical Ids Are Different
Introduction
In this article, we will explore the issue of logical IDs being different after upgrading certain packages in a cdktf project. We will discuss the expected behavior, actual behavior, steps to reproduce, and possible solutions to this problem.
Expected Behavior
When upgrading packages in a cdktf project, we expect the logical IDs of resources to remain the same. However, after upgrading the following packages, the logical IDs of resources are different:
github.com/aws/constructs-go/constructs/v10
fromv10.1.225
tov10.4.2
github.com/aws/jsii-runtime-go
fromv1.73.0
tov1.109.0
github.com/cdktf/cdktf-provider-aws-go/aws/v12
fromv12.0.1
tov19.56.1
github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk-go/cdktf
fromv0.15.0
tov0.20.11
Actual Behavior
After upgrading the packages, the logical IDs of resources are different. For example, the original logical ID of a resource might be examplestack_cdktfexamplevpn_F638B234
, but the new logical ID is cdktf-example-vpn
.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:
- Update the packages in your cdktf project to the latest versions:

tov19.56.1
github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk-go/cdktf
fromv0.15.0
tov0.20.11
- Run your cdktf project to see the different logical IDs of resources.
