The positional argument passed to apply was once used to specify a source for a Terraform module to fetch and initialize (#337). This functionality was removed from the
init
command later (#15032) but not completely removed fromapply
.This code was non-functional but largely not harmful, except for a very specific case (#25068): when passing an absolute path to a plan file as the positional argument on Windows, the
getter.Detect
code would incorrectly interpret the path as a URL. This caused init to fail and the apply command would exit with code 1 but without diagnostics.This commit removes this codepath, which fixes this bug, and should otherwise have no effect on the supported behaviour of apply.
Fixes #25068
