Document created

Actual Behavior

What actually happened?

Error applying plan:

1 error(s) occurred:

* aws_ssm_document.document: [ERROR] Error creating SSM document: InvalidDocumentSchemaVersion: Document type is required for schema version 2.0
        status code: 400, request id: 261ef6f7-ee1b-11e6-b12a-27e73feaa5c3

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply

I think AWS added document-type as mandatory option not so long time ago as even its documentation doesn't have this option:

I guess it's fixed by this PR?

Hi @DenisBY

Not sure if you are in a position to create a new terraform binary and test this for us - but i believe this issue is fixed in master by #11671

Thoughts?

[DenisBY]

Yes, I was able to use SSM with version 0.8.7, so it's fixed.
