Terraform CLI and Terraform AWS Provider Version

Terraform v0.13.5
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v3.16.0

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ssm_maintenance_window_target

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_ssm_maintenance_window" "default" {
  cutoff   = 1
  duration = 3
  name     = "default"
  schedule = "cron(0 0 2 ? * * *)"
}

resource "aws_ssm_maintenance_window_target" "default" {
  window_id     = aws_ssm_maintenance_window.default.id
  name          = "default-target"
  description   = "Default maintenance window target"
  resource_type = "INSTANCE"

  targets {
    key    = "tag:SystemManagement"
    values = ["default"]
  }
}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Error: DoesNotExistException: Maintenance window mw-XXXX does not exist

Expected Behavior

After deleting all resources in our AWS Account via aws-nuke, I'd like to refresh the Terraform state to remove the deleted resources from the state as well. I expect that after running terraform refresh my state should be updated.

Actual Behavior

terraform refresh errors with Error: DoesNotExistException: Maintenance window mw-XXXX does not exist. This seems to be caused by the aws_ssm_maintenance_window_target resource. When I manually remove it from the state via terraform state rm aws_ssm_maintenance_window.default and then run the refresh again, everything works fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. Delete the resource via AWS cli, aws-nuke or via the Developer Console.
3. terraform refresh

Important Factoids
