Error invalid instance URLs: resource "google_compute_instance_group" "t-compute-instance-group"

Goal: Create a compute instance and add it to an unmanaged instance group in GCP using terraform.

Issue: A compute instance and an unmanaged instance group are being created successfully, but the instance is not being added to the group and giving: Error invalid instance URLs: resource "google_compute_instance_group" "t-compute-instance-group"

Able to add the instance to the group manually after running the terraform configuration though.

Service account key has Project Editor permission assigned.

I've hit the same problem, what worked for me was to use the selflink instead of the id:

resource "google_compute_instance_group" "backend-instances" {
  name         = "..."
  zone         = "${var.availability_zone}"

  instances = ["${google_compute_instance.node.*.self_link}"]

  named_port {
    name = "http"
    port = "8080"
  }

  named_port {
    name = "https"
    port = "8443"
  }

  ..
}

I'm on the google provider version 2.8.0. I guess it's time to upgrade :)

I had the same problem today. The solution was to update the google terraform provider to a newer version (3.52.0). This fixed the issue and created the instance group with the assigned instance.
