I have also seen this behaviour with terraform v1.3.4 using the Linux binary download https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.3.4/terraform_1.3.4_linux_amd64.zip

This was after doing a change of version for the azurerm provider and was run in a docker image in a jenkins pipeline

• terraform plan -destroy -input=false -out=/tmp/decrypted_secrets/tf.plan -var-file=/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/perform-a-manual-upgrade-of-the-/tf/configuration/terraform.tfvars

[RustedBl4de]

This just started for us today using Gitlab with gitlab-runner 15.5.0 (0d4137b8).

We are dead in the water.

[kichitan]

I just ran into it, now. I was able to destroy one of my environments and when I try to destroy another one these error pop.

Terraform v1.3.4
on linux_amd64

Using the mac version.

Also I notice that if I destroy some of my objects manually and then run a plan, terraform won't notice any changes in the state.

[kichitan]

Ok, in my case. I was pointing my backend to the wrong state file, once I make the changed it worked fine

[RustedBl4de]

I have confirmed that the state file being used, Gitlab Managed, is not the cause. I removed the existing state file and it was recreated but still caused the original crash.

[halx4]

For us this appeared when trying to store the output plan of "terraform plan -destroy" on a module with empty state file
Here is a minimal example to reproduce:

• create a main.tf with this content:

provider "aws" {
  region = "eu-west-1"
}


resource "aws_security_group" "web" {
  name="testsgf"

}

• apply the module: terraform apply
• destroy the module: terraform apply -destroy
• try to export the destroy plan on a file: terraform plan -destroy -out=outfile
  At this point terraform crashes with a stacktrace:

$ terraform plan -destroy -out=outfile
