Warning from Terraform when use cisco-open/meraki provider

Hi,

 

We have been using Terraform on Meraki using cisco-open provider. Recently, when I run terraform init, I got this warning 

Warning: Additional provider information from registry

│ The remote registry returned warnings for registry.terraform.io/cisco-open/meraki:
│ - For users on Terraform 0.13 or greater, this provider has moved to CiscoDevNet/meraki. Please update your source in required_providers.


Does this mean we have to use the one from CiscoDevNet now? I can't find any information regarding this. the cisco-open one just got updated like 2 weeks ago. And look like Terraform for meraki by cisco-open is the official project whereas the one in CiscoDevNet is community driven and not being supported by Cisco.

 

Thank you

I thought I remembered seeing a post about this recently on this community, but I can't find it now.

 

I did find this.

Yeah this is very confusing to determine which provider to use as both seem to be actively developed.

I missed this message before.
The official provider is the cisco-open one. I will check on Monday where did this message come from.

For reference @Oren these are the two providers that are available. Both seem to be owned by Cisco/Meraki and being developed concurrently

https://github.com/cisco-open/terraform-provider-meraki

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cisco-open/meraki/1.0.2-beta

 

When using the above module, we get the aforementioned error to use the other provider:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-meraki

-- After reading details of the repo I see the following: 
| Please note that this Terraform provider is developed and maintained by a dedicated community of

| contributors. It is not directly supported by Cisco. While we strive to ensure the provider is robust and

| reliable, its development relies on community contributions and engagement.

Thanks, Franco. I’ll take care of the confusion.

 

Until further notice, Cisco-open is the provider developed and maintained by the Meraki BU.
