Expected Behaviour

It should stop by timeout

Actual Behaviour

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Define a Terraform configuration that uses the azurerm_role_definition data with wrong name and source with a timeouts block:
data "azurerm_role_definition" "role_defs" {
for_each = toset(["Reader", "Contributor"])

name = each.value
scope = "/subscriptions/<subscription_id>"

timeouts {
read = "1m"
}
}
Apply the configuration with terraform apply.

Hi @globallogic-dc,

Thanks for bringing this up. It's a known issue with the Terraform Plugin SDK v2: GitHub Issue #1038. You can subscribe to that issue for updates. Unfortunately, the Plugin SDK v2 is not actively maintained, so it may take longer to resolve. However, AzureRM might migrate to the Terraform Framework SDK in the future, which could automatically fix the issue.
