azurerm_storage_account / account_type problems with modules

[DonEstefan]

Terraform Version

• Terraform v0.10.7 on Win
• provider.azurerm: version = "~> 0.3"
• provider.template: version = "~> 1.0"

Affected Resource(s)

azurerm_storage_account:

• account_type
• account_tier
• account_replication_type

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "azurerm_storage_account" "storeaccount" {
  #the old way of doing stuff
  #I keep this for backward compatibility
  account_type          = "Standard_GRS"

  #the new way of doing stuff
  account_tier          = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "GRS"
}

Expected Behavior

terraform plan [DIR] works with or without [DIR] or modules

Actual Behavior

Using cd /terraform/module1; terraform plan I get a warning (which is expected)

* module.module1.azurerm_storage_account.storeaccount: "account_type": [DEPRECATED] 
This field has been split into `acount_tier` and `account_replication_type`

Using cd /terraform; terraform plan module1 I get an error which states exactly the opposite of the warning above

2 error(s) occurred:
* module.module1.azurerm_storage_account.storeaccount: : invalid or unknown key: account_replication_type
* module.module1.azurerm_storage_account.storeaccount: : invalid or unknown key: account_tier

maybe #437 ?!?

@DonEstefan I wonder if you have a version mismatch of the locally-stored modules in the .terraform directory? So in one module, you're using the new version where the variable is deprecated and in the other you're using one where the new variables don't exist? Try terraform init maybe?

Thanks for the hint!
We use modules and subdirectories to separate parts of our environment. Due to hashicorp/terraform#15447 I have to change directories before tainting resources. I did not realize that this makes me use a separate copy of the azurerm provider in the sub-folder. After updating the second provider copy everything was smooth again...
