google_project resource works with project ID/number instead of name as seen in the docs

[walterdolce]

I'm trying inspec-gcp for the first time. I followed the steps and I have implemented the following InSpec resource:

    describe google_project(project: File.read('./terraform-gcp-provider-config-project')) do
        it { should exist }
        its('lifecycle_state') { should eq "ACTIVE" }
    end

The file shown above contains the project name in GCP. When executing inspec, I get an error saying:

×  Project
     The caller does not have permission

When I pass the project ID or the project number, instead, the resource runs as normal passing the test successfully.

The documentation states that the "google_project resource block declares the tests for a single GCP project by name.", so I am not sure who's right in this instance: the code or the documentation?

Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the google_project docs are confusing in their current state. I'll update these to reflect that the resource works with either project_id or project_number as argument. Thanks for raising this, all the resource documents are hand-crafted so errors can creep in!
