无法在 GCP 后端释放 Terraform 状态锁

Question

While running terraform in automation ie CI/CD in jenkins, if due to some error my pipeline fails, it results in a lock in my state file. The process to unlock the state file is:

terraform force-unlock id

This works for me, only if I include this command in my jenkinsfile. This command does not run in cloud shell and gives the error:

Local state cannot be unlocked by another process

As in azure we have an option to remove the lock through Portal via break lease, Do we have any option in GCP?

Details:

Terraform v0.15 provider GCP v3.63.0 Backend: GCP storage bucket

Is deleting the default.tflock file the right way?

Answer 1

I just faced the same problem and well I can't say if that's the good way or not but it worked.

I've cancelled my Gitlab Pipeline during apply so the lock kept in place without being able to unlock it. Removing it did the trick

Answer 2

I have just renamed lock file name in storage bucket,it has worked
