I think there are two different issues here.

One, similar to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/issues/7379 is an error when a field exists in state that the new provider version 3.41.0 does not expect. This should be solved by upgrading the version of Terraform you are running to at least 0.13.1.

The other is causing the error message: An argument named "zone" is not expected here. on the container cluster datasource. This is due to the argument zone being renamed to location during the 3.0.0 release of the google provider. This field was marked as Removed in 3.0.0 until 3.41.0 when it was actually removed from the provider. I don't believe the provider would accept the zone field on that datasource from 3.0.0 -> 3.40.0, but it would have displayed a more helpful error.

The solution here is to rename zone -> location. Unfortunately due to an upgrade we made in the Terraform SDK, we cannot display removed fields and messages anymore.

Closing as I believe this is not a provider bug. Please reopen this if upgrading Terraform to 0.13.1+ and changing from zone to location does not fix this issue for you
