Floating IP deleting only on second time about godo HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @vlad2095,

I'm not able to reproduce this. When deleting a floating IP attached to a Droplet, it is completely deleted, not just unassigned. For example, with doctl which uses godo:

$ doctl compute floating-ip create --droplet-id 270960839
IP                 Region    Droplet ID    Droplet Name
143.244.220.237    nyc3      270960839     ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc3-02
$ doctl compute floating-ip get 143.244.220.237
IP                 Region    Droplet ID    Droplet Name
143.244.220.237    nyc3      270960839     ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc3-02
$ doctl compute floating-ip delete 143.244.220.237 --trace

Can you share any more details about your code? Can you still reproduce the issue?

I can confirm there is an issue here, or at least some undocumented new behavior.

The API states:\

This used to work as described, but not anymore. There seems to be a new intermediate state between the first FloatingIPs.Delete and the second FloatingIPs.Delete, here's a screenshot from the dashboard:

So the status of the floating IP is like this now:

• Released on first call to FloatingIPs.Delete
• Removed on second call FloatingIPs.Delete

The crazy thing is, after the first Delete it becomes Released and FloatingIPs.Get fails with 404 which explains what @andrewsomething is seeing with doctl.

could it be related to floating ip's in custom non-default projects?

My walk-around is to ignore the 404 errors when releasing the IP the second time, here's how I'm doing it:

if gerr, ok := err.(*godo.ErrorResponse); ok {
		res := gerr.Response
		if res != nil {
			switch res.StatusCode {
			case 404:

				return providers.NewNotFoundError("resource not found in DigitalOcean")
			}
		}
		return gerr
}

Edit: this is not a library issue, it must be at API level. I tried with v1.19.0 which is what I was originally using and the latest v1.73.0 presents the same behavior.

Hello @bithavoc,

I passed this on to the internal floating ips team and they could not detect any issue.
I also attempted to reproduce this bug this morning and was able to delete floating ips on the first attempt. I will close this issue as not reproducible. Please re-open if you have any future concerns or comments.

thank you

from godo.
