Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behaviour

A drift is properly detected and the Storage Account / policy are recreated.

Actual Behaviour

Terraform plan fails with:

│ Error: storage.ManagementPoliciesClient#Get: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=404 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=404 Code="ResourceNotFound" Message="The Resource 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/jneafknzeae' under resource group 'example-resource-group' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix"
│ 
│   with azurerm_storage_management_policy.example,
│   on main.tf line 23, in resource "azurerm_storage_management_policy" "example":
│   23: resource "azurerm_storage_management_policy" "example" {

Since plan fails, we are unable to recreate the Storage Account.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply the above configuration
2. Go into the Azure portal and manually delete the Storage Account (or use the CLI, etc.)
3. terraform plan the above configuration
