lifecycle: replaceTriggeredBy should not be a string interpolation

[wayneslabs]

Expected Behavior

When a value is provided for lifecycle.replaceTriggeredBy, it should not use string interpolation in the final terraform code.

For example:

"lifecycle": {
    "replace_triggered_by": [
      "google_firebaserules_ruleset.MainRuleSet"
    ]
  }

Actual Behavior

Currently, it creates a string interpolation

For example:

"lifecycle": {
    "replace_triggered_by": [
      "${google_firebaserules_ruleset.MainRuleSet}"
    ]
  }

This throws an error:

╷
│ Error: Invalid character
│
│   on  line 33:
│   (source code not available)
│
│ This character is not used within the language.
╵

╷
│ Error: Invalid expression
│
│   on  line 33:
│   (source code not available)
│
│ Expected the start of an expression, but found an invalid expression token.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a resource with replaceTriggeredBy

lifecycle: { replaceTriggeredBy: [mainRuleSet] }

I got the error while following the steps for creating firebase rules, which requires replaceTriggeredBy: docs

Workarounds

Currently, it can be solved by manually constructing it, as noted at: issue comment

release.addOverride("lifecycle.replace_triggered_by", [
  mainRuleSet.terraformResourceType +
    "." +
    mainRuleSet.friendlyUniqueId,
]);

Anything Else?
