Terraform: account_file is not defined but got error: provider.google: "account_file": [REMOVED] Use the credentials field instead

[sirmax123]

I'm trying to apply simple configuration after update to terraform 0.9.0 and got the following error:

terraform  plan
provider.google.account_file
  Enter a value:

provider.google.credentials
  Enter a value:

1 error(s) occurred:

* provider.google: "account_file": [REMOVED] Use the credentials field instead

bash-3.2$ terraform  version
Terraform v0.9.0



md5-f15e27ea675c82ba81f9589ccfb16285



provider "google" {
    project     = "project"
    region      = "us-central1"
}

resource "google_compute_health_check" "test-health-check" {
    name               = "health-check"
    check_interval_sec = 5
    timeout_sec        = 5

    tcp_health_check {
        port = "8500"
    }
}

(and no other files in folder)

For both values during terraform plan I use as answer to variable requests.

This .tf file worked fine before update and I do not have account_file defined in .tf

I believe this is fixed in #12729. @paddyforan, anything people should do in the meantime?

I'm experiencing this one too, making 0.9.0 useless for my google resources. :(

Hi! Sorry for the issues. This is a bug in the GCP provider for Terraform 0.9.0. It only exists in the GCP provider, and only for Terraform 0.9.0. For terraform import, the known workaround is to just hit Enter when prompted to the account_file input. For terraform plan and terraform apply, there is no known workaround at this time.

We will be issuing a 0.9.1 release with a fix soon, and are investigating the underlying problems that led to this issue. Apologies for any trouble this has caused.

Closed via #12729

and released in Terraform 0.9.1
