Terraform: aws_alb_target_group can`t recreate with attached listeners

[AlexShuraits]

Hi there,

I have change the port for aws_alb_target_group, that forces new resource.
Than while trying to delete the target group. I get following error:

Error deleting Target Group: ResourceInUse: Target group 'xxxx' is currently in use by a listener or a rule status code: 400, request id: 747913f1-1213-11e7-916c-3f605d5e091b

So, I assume that it should delete the listener first. That's what I've done manually to resolve the problem.

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.9.1

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_alb_target_group
• aws_alb_listener_rule

I ran into this problem as well, what should be happening is on destroy, the listener needs to be destroyed before the target group,Alex is correct

Running into this with v0.9.4 as well.

Running into this with v0.9.6

Running into this with v0.11.4.

Manually deleting the listener can not be the solution.

I solved this by renaming my listener resources. (Also not an ideal solution)
