This also happens when setting application_type to web

hi @frvi @sawyerh

Thanks for opening this issue :)

Taking a look into this this is because the field application_type is case insensitive in Terraform whereas the API requires that the casing matches exactly. As a part of the next major version of the AzureRM Provider (2.0) we're planning on making the provider case-sensitive for the fields which are currently case insensitive to match the behaviour of other Terraform Providers - as such this'll be rolled up as a part of this work.

In the interim it should be possible to work around this by using Title Case (e.g. Web, Java, Other). Would you be able to take a look and see if that works for you?

Thanks!

@tombuildsstuff Just looked at my scripts and I had Web in title case, which resulted in the Type being set to ASP.NET.

This has been released in version 2.0.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.0.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
