Hi there,

Thank you for opening an issue. Please note that we try to keep the Terraform issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests. For general usage questions, please see: https://www.terraform.io/community.html.

Terraform Version

0.8.8 The problem has existed since 0.7

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:
aws_vpn_connection

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_vpn_connection" "name-removed" {
    vpn_gateway_id = "${aws_vpn_gateway.name-removed.id}"
    customer_gateway_id = "${aws_customer_gateway.name-removed.id}"
    type = "ipsec.1"
    static_routes_only = false

    tags {

Debug Output

Please provider a link to a GitHub Gist containing the complete debug output: https://www.terraform.io/docs/internals/debugging.html. Please do NOT paste the debug output in the issue; just paste a link to the Gist.

Panic Output

If Terraform produced a panic, please provide a link to a GitHub Gist containing the output of the crash.log.

Expected Behavior

Create a VPN in Terraform. Delete the VPN manually. Run Terraform apply again. I expect it to create the VPN.

Actual Behavior

It doesn't build a VPN. I must wait until AWS removes the deleted VPN from the console to run the apply again.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a VPN in Terraform. Delete the VPN manually. Run Terraform apply again.

Important Factoids

This appears to be the same issue as in #7859 where Terraform is not checking the State of the VPN connection.

Here's a full config w/ steps to reproduce:

1. https://gist.github.com/clstokes/08fa7579eb6614f7767c3997e4209292
2. terraform apply - create the environment
3. aws ec2 delete-vpn-connection --vpn-connection-id $(terraform output aws_vpn_connection_id) - will delete the VPN connection
4. aws ec2 describe-vpn-connections - will show connection as "State": "deleted"
5. terraform plan - will show no changes needed. Should show that VPN connection must be re-created.
6. terraform destroy -force - clean up once done.

I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues.
