Debug Output/Panic Output

Error releasing the state lock
│ 
│ Error message: failed to retrieve lock info: blobs.Client#GetProperties: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: Head
│ "https://storageaccountnametest19.blob.core.windows.net/content/terraform.tfstate": dial tcp: lookup storageaccountnametest19.blob.core.windows.net: no such host
│ 
│ Terraform acquires a lock when accessing your state to prevent others
│ running Terraform to potentially modify the state at the same time. An
│ error occurred while releasing this lock. This could mean that the lock
│ did or did not release properly. If the lock didn't release properly,
│ Terraform may not be able to run future commands since it'll appear as if
│ the lock is held.
│ 
│ In this scenario, please call the "force-unlock" command to unlock the
│ state manually. This is a very dangerous operation since if it is done
│ erroneously it could result in two people modifying state at the same time.
│ Only call this command if you're certain that the unlock above failed and
│ that no one else is holding a lock.

The storage account that you want to use for your backend needs to exist before you run terraform. TF itself cannot create that storage account

storageaccountnametest19.blob.core.windows.net: no such host

Hi @kural82, thanks for reporting this crash, according to the dump stack:
