Error waiting for route table (rtb-xxxxxx) to become destroyed: timeout while waiting for state to become ''

[brikis98]

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.7.2

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_route_table

Terraform Configuration Files

I have a set of templates that create a VPC, route tables, subnets, and so on. I get an error for a route table I created for a public subnet:

resource "aws_route_table" "public" {
    vpc_id = "${aws_vpc.main.id}"
    tags {
        Name = "${var.vpc_name}-public"
    }
}

Expected Behavior

When I run terraform destroy, all the resources, including that route table, get deleted.

Actual Behavior

Intermittently, when I run terraform destroy, I get the following error:

* aws_route_table.public: Error waiting for route table (rtb-796fcb1f) to become destroyed: timeout while waiting for state to become ''

If I run terraform destroy a second time, the error goes away.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. terraform destroy

Important Factoids

I don't remember seeing this error before Terraform 0.7, so perhaps some recent change has broken the destroy logic?

Got the same error on apply with Terraform v0.7.4

* aws_route_table.identity-management-private-routing-table: Error waiting for route table (rtb-xxxxxxx) to become available: timeout while waiting for state to become 'ready' (timeout: 2m0s)
