Running the command mentioned here resolved this same error for me: hashicorp/terraform#25819 (comment)

I can reproduce @estebanes22 issue, and the fix proposed in hashicorp/terraform#25819 (comment) did not solve the issue for me, unfortunately

I also hit this issue while attempting the upgrade to 0.13.0 and had to rollback to 0.12.29. This looks like a duplicate of hashicorp/terraform#25752 which is supposed to be fixed in the next release (0.13.1).

[marco-lancini]

Upgraded to 0.13.1 and can confirm the error seems resolved

Thanks for the confirmation, @marco-lancini. This should be resolved with Terraform CLI 0.13.1. 👍
