Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.11.9

• provider.azurerm v1.18.0

Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_storage_blob

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "resources" {
  name     = "test-rg"
  location = "westeurope"
}
resource "azurerm_storage_account" "teststoreaccount" {
  name                     = "teststoreaccount124"
  resource_group_name      = "${azurerm_resource_group.resources.name}"
  location                 = "${azurerm_resource_group.resources.location}"
  account_tier             = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "GRS"
}
resource "azurerm_storage_container" "storecontainer" {
  name                  = "storecontainer124"
  storage_account_name  = "${azurerm_storage_account.teststoreaccount.name}"
  resource_group_name   = "${azurerm_resource_group.resources.name}"
  container_access_type = "private"
}
resource "azurerm_storage_blob" "blob-copy" {
  name                   = "blob-copy.image"
  storage_account_name   = "${azurerm_storage_account.teststoreaccount.name}"
  storage_container_name = "${azurerm_storage_container.storecontainer.name}"
  resource_group_name    = "${azurerm_resource_group.resources.name}"
  source_uri             = "https://www.terraform.io/favicon.ico"
}

Steps to reproduce:

1. Apply the terraform file above (works well)
2. delete the resource group in the azure portal (without terraform)
3. Apply the terraform file above (causes error message)

Error-message:

azurerm_storage_blob.blob-copy: azurerm_storage_blob.blob-copy: Unable to determine Resource Group for Storage Account "teststoreaccount124"

Workaround

terraform state rm azurerm_storage_blob.blob-copy

Important Factoids

I remember older versions were less picky about disappearing resources.
I'm not aware of other resources causing similar problems. Only storage_blob.
