I'm in the process of a Terraform code refactoring in which some resources are moved to a module A and a module B into a submodule of A and I'm now getting this error in Terraform Enterprise:
Error: Provider configuration not present
To work with
module.account-baseline.module.iam-policy.aws_iam_role.ops_role
its original provider configuration at module.account-baseline.provider.aws is
required, but it has been removed. This occurs when a provider configuration
is removed while objects created by that provider still exist in the state.
Re-add the provider configuration to destroy
module.account-baseline.module.iam-policy.aws_iam_role.ops_role,
after which you can remove the provider configuration again.
I've tried in my playground account using a local Terraform state to run "terraform state mv" commands moving the module into a sub-module and it works, but I don't know how to apply this state change to Terraform Enterprise.
Any help would be more than welcome, thanks in advance!

We are building a temp review app in terraform. Currently when review app is finished with the resources are destroyed with terraform using terraform apply -destroy. What i need to do is also remove the terraform state file for this infrastructure from the azure container. Could I use terraform -destroy to also remove the state file and how can i do this?
One of the workaround you can follow,
When we are using terraform destroy that time our resource detailed also removed from terraform.tfstate by removing from portal itself.
So to remove any particular resource from .tfstate you can try something like below;
First would suggest you to after destroy the file list the state file you have then remove those.
This below command is used to get the available instances which are in state file.
terraform state list
After listing those try with below which will remove from .tfstate file as mentioned by #Ansuman Bal i have also tried and it works fine .
terraform state rm "azurerm_resource_group.example"
OUTPUT DETAILS FOR REFERENCE:-
NOTE:- This aforementioned cmdlts will remove the instance/resources from .tfstate file only not from portal. Only terraform destroy can do that.
For more information please refer this SO THREAD| Terraform - Removing a resource from local state file.
I'm using terraform version v0.12.14. whenever I use terraform init I'm unable to see the terraform provider in my folder(hidden files are enabled to visible). also the plan command always fails with the error " no changes, infrastructure is up-to-date". kindly help me since I'm getting these errors I am not able to create the resource group in azure.
I've created an Azure Storage Account to be used as the backend state store for Terraform, and I was able to write to this from an Azure DevOps pipeline running Terraform commands. I can see the container in the Storage Account and confirm that it has the state content from the pipeline execution in it with that same key. However, when I try to run Terraform "manually" using the same backend store, I'm getting an error that it cannot find that container:
$ terraform init -backend-config="storage_account_name=<redacted>" -backend-config="container_name=auto-api-tfstate" -backend-config="access_key=<redacted>" -backend-config="key=dev-internal2/dev-internal2.tfstate:us"

Initializing the backend...
Backend configuration changed!
Terraform has detected that the configuration specified for the backend
has changed. Terraform will now check for existing state in the backends.

Prior to changing backends, Terraform inspects the source and destination
states to determine what kind of migration steps need to be taken, if any.
Terraform failed to load the states. The data in both the source and the
destination remain unmodified. Please resolve the above error and try again.
My main.tf file has simply:
terraform {
backend "azurerm" {}
}
As mentioned, this same terraform init command worked when invoked in a Bash script in an ADO pipeline, so not sure what may be the issue. Any suggestions for debugging this appreciated.
Uncovered the issue ... there was state information in the .terraform folder which conflicted with the new backend. Once I cleared that out, the "terraform init" command worked as expected.
To create a new Terraform state file, I'm importing some legacy Azure resources into a Terraform configuration with a local state file. As expected, my import syntax is as follows:
terraform import <Terraform Resource Name>.<Resource Label> <Azure Resource ID>
Unfortunately, for one of my resources, I used the wrong Resource Label and had to rename it. I then performed a Terraform plan, but as the earlier Resource Label had already been written into the state file, the plan now displays the message that a resource will be destroyed when applied. Just to clarify, the resource with the corrected Resource Label is also written into the state file, so there's no danger of it being destroyed in Azure.
I however want to clean up the local state file by removing the orphaned resource, so when I ran a Terraform Plan, it reports that:
"No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration"
How can I do so safely without compromising my state file or the legacy resources?
As suggested by #luk2302, I tested the command in my environment after I imported a keyvault resource to my local state file and then tried to removed only the keyvault resource from terraform state and it was successful.
The resource is only removed from state file and it can be still found in portal.
Reference:
Command: state rm - Terraform by HashiCorp
We upgraded terraform version and we have a problem with terraform remote state. Basiacaly I run this command to update azurerm provider:
terraform state replace-provider 'registry.terraform.io/-/azurerm' 'registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm'
Right now when I run plan command it shows me some errors. All are the same but resource if different. For example:
To work with module.name.module.lb_name.azurerm_lb_probe.instance
its original provider configuration at
provider["registry.terraform.io/-/azurerm"] is required, but it has been
removed. This occurs when a provider configuration is removed while objects
created by that provider still exist in the state. Re-add the provider
configuration to destroy
module.name.module.lb_name.azurerm_lb_probe.instance, after which
you can remove the provider configuration again.
Basically the state was updated and the provider looks like this:
"provider": "provider.azurerm"
but it should look like this:
"provider": "provider[\"registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm\"]"
Is there any way to update it via terraform commands or the only way to fix it is to edit state file manually?
When you replace the providers for the Terraform upgrade with the command:
terraform state replace-provider 'registry.terraform.io/-/azurerm' 'registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm'
OK, there is no problem. And then you can use the command below to check the current providers:
terraform providers
The screenshot will show like this:
At this time, the providers are the same as the requirement. Then you need to init again to pull the current providers to replace the existing ones with the command below:
terraform init
This is the step you have missed.
