Im also seeing this issue. My configuration was working fine yesterday and today im also getting the error. As im still testing terraform i have deleted my CosmosDB, deleted my state file and deleted .terraform directory, re-ran terroform init then on terraform apply it errors. Details below

Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

• Terraform v0.12.3
• provider.azurerm: version = "= 1.30.1"

Please note, im getting the same error if i use provider.azurerm:version = "1.30.0"
Error:

Error: Error checking if CosmosDB Account "mycosomsdbaccountname" already exists (Resource Group "myresourcegroupname"): documentdb.DatabaseAccountsClient#CheckNameExists: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=500 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: error response cannot be parsed: "" error: EOF

Error occurs running this example:

I get the same error too. It was working as late as yesterday.

Error: Error checking if CosmosDB Account "<account_name>" already exists (Resource Group "<group_name>"): documentdb.DatabaseAccountsClient#CheckNameExists: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=500 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: error response cannot be parsed: "" error: EOF

   1: resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_account" "db" {

terraform version
Terraform v0.12.3
+ provider.azurerm v1.29.0

I have also seen the same issue today with provider.azurerm v1.30.1

I was upgrading to Terraform 0.12.3 from 0.12.2 either today or yesterday, so I will attemt an downgrade to Terraform 0.12.2 to see if that helps. Will keep you posted.

EDIT: Downgrade to Terraform 0.12.2 yielded the same error.

I'm seeing same issue on terraform v0.11.x/v1.30.1 as of yesterday as well. Also tried downgrading version of azurerm with no luck. It appears to be an issue with the API throwing a 500 error when checking if the name exists.

Even in the web console I can see the request getting a 500 error when it does a HEAD, but it appears the UI ignores the 500 and deployment through UI works as long as it's a unique name.

Request URL: https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.DocumentDb/databaseAccountNames/<redacted>?api-version=2015-04-08&{}&_=1561658718948
Request Method: HEAD
Status Code: 500 

Error is being thrown from azurerm code here which is using the azure go sdk documentdb client calling CheckNameExists which calls the API here that is returning the 500 error.

FYI, no details yet, but Microsoft Support has acknowledged this problem and the the "Cosmos DB Engineering Team" is working on resolving it.

[RomanKreisel]

Is there any URL from microsoft known, where this issue can be tracked?

[tombuildsstuff]

👋

As mentioned above this is a bug in the API which is sounds like the CosmosDB team are looking into - however in the interim we've raised a bug about it here.

Until this is fixed since this functionality only serves to raise a more helpful error - we've opened #3747 which will temporarily ignore a 500 being returned from this API - so that the CosmosDB resources can still be provisioned (but may return a less helpful error if they conflict with an existing resource) - which will ship in the 1.31 release later today.

Thanks!

This has been released in version 1.31.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 1.31.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
