Terraform-provider-aws: AWS ECS services are force updated on each apply

[EmmN]

After the aws plugin update from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 I started to see that on each apply terraform was doing (forces new resource) on the same services.

Something is broken in the delta checking between the current state and the actual infrastructure.

I've fixed the issue by setting version = "~> 1.2.0"

From what I've debugged, the container_definition of the service is containing the JSON instead of a hash which identifies the definition.

I believe this is a duplicate of https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/issues/2336 which has a proposal of solution in https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/2339

For that reason I'm going to close this issue, but we'd certainly use some of your help in testing #2339
