Debug Output

Crash Output

Expected Behavior

What should have happened?
I removed some of my vsphere_virtual_machine configuration to reduce the amount of code in this post. Ultimately, I want all VMs to run my domain_join script.

Actual Behavior

What actually happened?
I receive an error stating that the default_IP_address attribute does not exist and therefore nothing gets passed

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the full steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform init
2. terraform apply

null_resource.domain_join[1]: Creating...

Error: Unsupported attribute: This object does not have an attribute named "default_ip_address".

Additional Context

Are there anything atypical about your situation that we should know? For example: is Terraform running in a wrapper script or in a CI system? Are you passing any unusual command line options or environment variables to opt-in to non-default behavior?
