CDKTF Provider Random

12.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

Prebuilt Terraform CDK (CDKTF) provider for random resources (random_pet, random_string, random_password, etc.). Used to generate random values in infrastructure. Version 12.0.1 supports CDKTF >= 0.20.0. Breaking changes between major versions often mirror the upstream provider version bumps.

pip install cdktf-cdktf-provider-random

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cdktf_cdktf_provider_random' ↓

cause Package not installed or wrong import path.

fix

pip install cdktf-cdktf-provider-random (note hyphen vs underscore in package name).

error ImportError: cannot import name 'RandomPet' from 'cdktf_cdktf_provider_random' ↓

cause Attempting to import resource class from package root instead of submodule.

fix

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.pet import RandomPet

error TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable ↓

cause Missing required 'keepers' argument in RandomPet or similar resource with required attributes.

fix

Provide all required arguments as per Terraform provider docs.

Warnings

breaking Version 12.0.0+ requires cdktf >= 0.20.0. Older cdktf versions are incompatible. ↓

fix Update cdktf to >=0.20.0, or pin cdktf-cdktf-provider-random to <12.0.0.

gotcha Resource classes (RandomPet, RandomString, etc.) are not exported from the package root. Importing directly from root will raise ModuleNotFoundError. ↓

fix Use correct import paths: from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.pet import RandomPet

deprecated Some attributes like 'length' in RandomString require explicit type casting in Python due to Terraform type system. ↓

fix Use integer values directly: length=8 (not '8' string).

Imports

RandomPet

wrong

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random import RandomPet

correct

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.pet import RandomPet

Resource classes must be imported from their specific module, not the package root.

RandomString

wrong

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random import RandomString

correct

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.string import RandomString

Same as above: resource classes are in submodules.

RandomPassword
```
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.password import RandomPassword
```
Import path follows the pattern: cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.<resource_type>

Quickstart

Creates a CDKTF stack with a RandomPet resource.

from cdktf import App, TerraformStack
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_random.pet import RandomPet
from constructs import Construct

class MyStack(TerraformStack):
    def __init__(self, scope: Construct, id: str):
        super().__init__(scope, id)
        RandomPet(self, "pet", keepers={"key": "value"})

app = App()
MyStack(app, "random-pet-stack")
app.synth()
