In reading the terraform docs, include a features: {} in the provider:

provider "azurerm" {
version = "=2.0.0"
features {}
}

Hi, i'm getting the same error too at the same level.
When will we be getting feedback on the fix?

[ukez15]

this issue seems to have been resolved in this link: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/5880

[ukez15]

solution from terraform pages: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/azurerm/index.html

configure the test.tf file to reflect the change below

Configure the Azure Provider

provider "azurerm" {
# whilst the version attribute is optional, we recommend pinning to a given version of the Provider
version = "=2.0.0"
features {}
}
