Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.12.20

• provider.azurerm v1.42.0

Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_resource_group

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "azurerm" {}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {
  name     = "test"
  location = ""
}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

At least in plan phase (validate is better) this should be catched like with name for the resource group

Error: "name" may only contain alphanumeric characters, dash, underscores, parentheses and periods       

  on main.tf line 3, in resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test":
   3: resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {

Actual Behavior

Plan is generated and apply fails.

Refreshing Terraform state in-memory prior to plan...
The refreshed state will be used to calculate this plan, but will not be
persisted to local or remote state storage.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # azurerm_resource_group.test will be created
  + resource "azurerm_resource_group" "test" {
      + id   = (known after apply)
      + name = "test"
      + tags = (known after apply)
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: You didn't specify an "-out" parameter to save this plan, so Terraform
can't guarantee that exactly these actions will be performed if
"terraform apply" is subsequently run.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
2. terraform plan
