Error: Missing Resource Identity After Update - resource group

[bkainth1]

When i am creating the resource group using terraform apply, the code works fine and it creates resource group without any issue. but when i am running terraform apply again ( without making any changes in the code ) i am getting below error

module.lz-selfservice["sub-plm35-devtest"].azapi_resource.app-rg: Modifying... [id=/subscriptions/xxx/resourceGroups/plm35-app-rg] ╷ │ Error: Missing Resource Identity After Update │ │ with module.lz-selfservice["sub-plm35-devtest"].azapi_resource.app-rg, │ on ../modules/subscription/main.tf line 176, in resource "azapi_resource" "app-rg": │ 176: resource "azapi_resource" "app-rg" { │ │ The Terraform Provider unexpectedly returned no resource identity data │ after having no errors in the resource update. This is always an issue in │ the Terraform Provider and should be reported to the provider developers.

Below is the code i am using

resource "azapi_resource" "app-rg" { type = "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups@2025-04-01" depends_on = [ null_resource.register_subscription_provider] location = var.location name = var.app_rg_name parent_id = "/subscriptions/${azurerm_subscription.subscription.subscription_id}" schema_validation_enabled = false #tags = var.tags body = {tags = tomap({})} lifecycle { ignore_changes = [identity, body.tags,
] } }

azapi = { source = "Azure/azapi" version = "2.8.0" }

Hi @bkainth1 ,

Thank you for taking time to report this issue.

I believe it's duplicated with https://github.com/Azure/terraform-provider-azapi/issues/1023. Please use terraform >= 1.12, and I also opened a PR to fix the issue for <= 1.11.

Hi @bkainth1,

I don't think it is a duplicate as we experience the same with terraform =1.13.5 and provider version 2.8.0

Error: Missing Resource Identity After Read
with module.mpi_support_secondary.module.backup["intermediate"].azapi_resource.proxy[0]
on .terraform/modules/mpi_support_secondary/backup_vm/guard.tf line 1, in resource "azapi_resource" "proxy":
resource "azapi_resource" "proxy" {
The Terraform Provider unexpectedly returned no resource identity data after having no errors in the resource read. This is always an issue in the Terraform Provider and should be reported to the provider developers. 

Using provider version 2.7.0 works

@ms-henglu - I get this issue when doing a Vnet/Subnet deletion. Terraform 1.12.2, and azAPI v2.8.0. Have also had this reported by other consumers for a re-apply. When I switch to v2.7.0, the error is a little more descriptive - "│ Error decoding "module.example_hub.module.ai_lz_vnet.azapi_resource.vnet" from prior state: failed to decode identity: unsupported attribute "id". This is most likely a bug in the Provider, providers must not change the identity │ schema without updating the identity schema version"

I got a similar error │ Error: Missing Resource Identity After Read

This is with version 2.8.0 and terraform version 1.14

I'm also encountering Error: Missing Resource Identity After Read with AzApi 2.8.0 and Terraform 1.12. Using Terraform 1.14 didn't fix the issue.

With Terraform 1.12 and AzApi 2.7.0, I get: Error: failed to decode identity: unsupported attribute "id". This is most likely a bug in the Provider, providers must not change the identity schema without updating the identity schema version

The only combination that worked so far was AzApi 2.7.0 and Terraform 1.14.
