CDKTF Provider: null

11.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

Prebuilt Terraform CDK (CDKTF) provider for the null resource. Allows provisioning of resources that do nothing, useful for implementing triggers or placeholders. Version 11.0.1 supports CDKTF 0.20+ and Terraform Provider null 3.x. Released monthly alongside CDKTF provider releases.

pip install cdktf-cdktf-provider-null

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cdktf_cdktf_provider_null' ↓

cause Package not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run 'pip install cdktf-cdktf-provider-null' in your Python environment.

error AttributeError: module 'cdktf_cdktf_provider_null' has no attribute 'NullResource' ↓

cause Import from wrong path. NullResource is not directly on the package root.

fix

Use 'from cdktf_cdktf_provider_null.null_resource import NullResource'.

error jsii.errors.JSIIError: Unknown constructor: NullProvider ↓

cause Provider needs to be imported correctly and instantiated with proper scope and id.

fix

Ensure you import NullProvider from cdktf_cdktf_provider_null and pass a Construct scope and string id.

Warnings

breaking Major version jumps: upgrade from 10.x to 11.x requires CDKTF 0.20+ and Terraform Provider null 3.x. Check provider version compatibility. ↓

fix Update cdktf to >=0.20 and refer to Terraform null provider docs for v3 changes.

gotcha The 'triggers' attribute of NullResource is used for replacement logic. Modifying triggers forces resource recreation; this is expected but can cause data loss if used carelessly. ↓

fix Ensure triggers map keys/values are stable or expect replacements.

deprecated Some older classes (like 'null.DataSource' in legacy versions) have been removed. Use the current submodule paths. ↓

fix Refer to import paths in this registry entry for correct symbols.

Quickstart

Synthesizes a minimal CDKTF stack with a null resource.

from cdktf import App, TerraformStack
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_null import NullProvider, NullResource

class MyStack(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope, id):
        super().__init__(scope, id)
        NullProvider(self, 'null', alias='myprovider')
        NullResource(self, 'example', triggers={'key': 'value'})

app = App()
MyStack(app, 'quickstart')
app.synth()
