Debug Output

https://gist.github.com/aherbst-broad/4e7730390be12825dfcbac95c70f52c2

Expected Behavior

The plan and subsequent apply should succeed instead of erroring out. Running against Terraform 1.8.3 succeeds.

Actual Behavior

tofu plan errors out like this:

╷
│ Error: Invalid import address expression
│
│   on cdk.tf.json line 19, in import[0]:
│   19:       "to": "azurerm_storage_account.storageAccount"
│
│ Import address must be a reference to a resource's address, and only allows for indexing with dynamic keys. For example: module.my_module[expression1].aws_s3_bucket.my_buckets[expression2] for resources inside of modules, or simply
│ aws_s3_bucket.my_bucket for a resource in the root module

Steps to Reproduce

1. tofu init
2. tofu plan

Hi @aherbst-broad, and thank you for reporting this bug.
I managed to reproduce it using JSON files, it looks like we don't parse the to value correctly. The same configuration in TF files is working correctly.
We'll start working on a fix and update you when we are done.
Thank you again for reporting this!
