terraform destroy throws no such file or directory for data.local_file with relative path

[rgr-ralf-it]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.3.2
on linux_amd64

Terraform Configuration Files

data "local_file" "front_door_profile_name" {
  filename = "${path.module}/${var.config_dir}/../../.static/local_file.glob.front_door_name"
}

Debug Output

N/A

Expected Behavior

Terraform apply or plan could read that file, while destroy got error.

Actual Behavior

╷ │ Error: open ../config/lubimywarzywka.pl/../../.static/local_file.glob.front_door_name: no such file or directory │ │ with data.local_file.front_door_profile_name, │ on main.tf line 10, in data "local_file" "front_door_profile_name": │ 10: data "local_file" "front_door_profile_name" { │

Steps to Reproduce

terraform destroy

Additional Context

As workaround have used where var.static_dir is "${var.config_dir}/.static"

data "local_file" "front_door_profile_name" {
  filename = "${path.module}/${var.static_dir}/local_file.glob.front_door_name"
}

Hi @jon-grey,

Thanks for filing the issue. I think we're going to need some more context in order to determine what is going on here. To start, is this run locally, or are you attempting to run this in TFC?

Terraform destroy operates essentially the same as a normal plan an apply, so the fact that the file is not found at the given path is curious, as is the change to the path being a workaround. Do you have any other resources in the configuration which attempt to modify that file, which remove it during destroy? The path segment ../../ looks like the file is not stored as part of the given module, are you sure the file exists at that location when running terraform destroy in the first place?

Thanks!
