Hello,

After ‘terraform apply’, my terminal crashes, and i receive following error note on errors.txt file:

Error: creating Glue Connection (de-c1w4-rds-connection): operation error Glue: CreateConnection, https response error StatusCode: 400, RequestID: b56b32ac-4f8f-4dd6-8213-ee886ef4a75b, AlreadyExistsException: Connection already exists.

I requested two lab refreshes, and even though i successfully created and run the job, my terminal crashed again for the vector database creation step. Should i request another lab refresh or is there a way for me to handle this issue manually?

Thanks

Hello @ddenizergun
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please, request a lab refresh. Try your best to get the exercises right on your first try after the lab refresh to avoid these errors.

Hi, I am struggling with the same issue. I refreshed the lab but get the same error. I tried manually importing the terraform resources as well as adding

lifecycle {
prevent_destroy = true
}

in different places, but that didn’t solve my error. The really painful aspect of it is that with each attempt the terminal crashes and I need to run all the scripts prior to this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello @olove
Please, refrain from adding any code snippets or changing anything outside the scope of the lab instructions. You can fill out the lab refresh form to get a fresh start, and you can always use the terraform apply -no-color 2> errors.txt command to see what’s going wrong with the terraform commands.
