Expected Behavior

Snippet of code pointing to the right LOC - i.e. to the definition of parent block which is missing arguments.

Actual Behavior

$ terraform plan

Error: Missing required argument

  on main.tf line 1, in resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "aks_with_rbac":
   1: resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "aks_with_rbac" {

The argument "name" is required, but no definition was found.


Error: Missing required argument

  on main.tf line 1, in resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "aks_with_rbac":
   1: resource "azurerm_kubernetes_cluster" "aks_with_rbac" {

The argument "vm_size" is required, but no definition was found.

Steps to Reproduce

$ terraform plan

Additional Context

As documented the arguments reported as missing are arguments nested under agent_pool_profile block, which is not obvious from the error output.

The language used in these errors looks like the language produced by HCL itself when asked to decode a block with a missing required argument, so I'm not sure if this is actually an SDK bug or an HCL bug. Will need to dig in some more to see what's missing here.

[apparentlymart]

I've now seen this same behavior in a different program, so this seems to be a bug either in hcldec or in the lower-level body.Content method it is built on.
