Additional Context

This issue is happening in our GitLab-ci DevOps pipelines and in my local setup. I tried login with “az login” manually and with pregenerated service principal credentials.

I noticed it while I was trying to launch my Terraform plan, this error ocurred and then I tried to debug it:

2020/06/02 11:37:09 [ERROR] <root>: eval: *terraform.EvalSequence, err: Error checking if CosmosDB Account "ACCOUNTNAME" already exists (Resource Group "RESOURCEGROUPNAME"): documentdb.DatabaseAccountsClient#CheckNameExists: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=500 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: error response cannot be parsed: "" error: EOF

In terraform, I am using version 2.12

provider “azurerm” { subscription_id = var.SUBSCRIPTION_ID tenant_id = var.SERVICEPRINCIPAL_TENANT_ID client_id = var.SERVICEPRINCIPAL_CLIENT_ID client_secret = var.SERVICEPRINCIPAL_CLIENT_SECRET

version = “= 2.12” features {} }

FYI: Using different versions of the Azure CLI makes no difference. Exactly the same error is provided every time, always after 7m30 elapsed.

I faced with the similar issue:

provider “azurerm” { version = “=2.12.0”

subscription_id = var.azurerm_subscription_id tenant_id = var.azurerm_tenant_id client_id = var.azurerm_client_id client_secret = var.azurerm_client_secret

features {} }

Terraform output: … … module.identity.module.identity_management.azurerm_cosmosdb_account.cosmosdb_account: Still creating… [7m20s elapsed] module.identity.module.identity_management.azurerm_cosmosdb_account.cosmosdb_account: Still creating… [7m30s elapsed]
