Error: Invalid reference from destroy provisioner

[khadka-prakash]

Run the following command

terraform plan

You will get the following error

Error: Invalid reference from destroy provisioner

  on instance.tf line 69, in resource "google_compute_instance" "ovpn":
  69:     command = "rm -f ${var.client_config_path}/${var.client_config_name}.ovpn"

Destroy-time provisioners and their connection configurations may only
reference attributes of the related resource, via 'self', 'count.index', or
'each.key'.

References to other resources during the destroy phase can cause dependency
cycles and interact poorly with create_before_destroy.
