Expected Behavior

A useful error indicating file and line the error is to be searched at.

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

$ terraform init -upgrade && terraform plan -target=module.base
Upgrading modules...

• base in modules/azure/base
• [...]
• gitlab_runner.subnet in modules/azure/subnet

Initializing the backend...

Initializing provider plugins...

• Checking for available provider plugins...
• Downloading plugin for provider "azurerm" (hashicorp/azurerm) 2.0.0...

The following providers do not have any version constraints in configuration,
so the latest version was installed.

To prevent automatic upgrades to new major versions that may contain breaking
changes, it is recommended to add version = "..." constraints to the
corresponding provider blocks in configuration, with the constraint strings
suggested below.

• provider.azurerm: version = "~> 2.0"

Terraform has been successfully initialized!

You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.

If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.

Error: "features": required field is not set

Additional Context

The -target above is not part of the issue, it fails w/o -target and with any other targeted resource.
Also "features" is not referenced anywhere (but the Azure provider) - so perhaps it's a provider bug?

$ grep -r features .
Binary file ./.terraform/plugins/linux_amd64/terraform-provider-azurerm_v2.0.0_x5 matches

edit: Looks like there is chatter about this on the terraform provider repo https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/5866

I am also having this issue this morning, any solution for the above issue.

There is an issue with 2.0.0 azurem version, for temporary fix try to use the 1.44.0.

[MikaSoinetsalo]

Should work like this:

provider "azurerm" {
version = "=2.0.0"
features {}
}
