Terraform Version

Terraform v0.11.8

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_1.38.0

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-west-1"
  shared_credentials_file = "~/.aws/credentials"
  profile                 = "test"
}

Debug Output

* module.eks-staging.output.cluster: Resource 'aws_eks_cluster.cluster' does not have attribute 'certificate_authority.0.data' for variable 'aws_eks_cluster.cluster.certificate_authority.0.data'

https://gist.github.com/Artemu/ea2f4f83324837d9a59f76a75c82896f
The above output is from the endpoint but all outputs giving issues.

Expected Behavior

When the resource is deleted, Terraform should not fail because the resource does not exist.

Actual Behavior

Once the resource is deleted, Terraform is unable to run. The output has to be commented out to complete the terraform destroy function in two stages.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Generate an EKS resource
2. Delete it with the output present.

output "cluster" {
  value = {
    eks_endpoint              = "${aws_eks_cluster.cluster.endpoint}"
    eks_certificate_authority = "${aws_eks_cluster.cluster.certificate_authority.0.data}"
}

Important Factoids

Hi @Artemu 👋 Sorry you are running into this difficulty. I believe the behavior here is actually not specific to this resource or this provider, but rather managed by Terraform core which handles the dependency graph and outputs. I think this upstream issue is relevant (or there may be other similar/more pertinent ones): hashicorp/terraform#18026

I would suggest commenting and/or 👍 upvoting the issue report(s) upstream. Since I'm not sure there's anything to be done with the resource or provider, I am going to close out this issue here.

Thanks :) Will follow that issue; was under the presumption it was a provider issue.
