Error:no change not handled by provider

Environment

• TMOS/Bigip Version: BIG-IP 14.1.4 Build 0.0.11 Final
• Terraform Version: 1.0.7
• Terraform bigip provider Version: 1.13.0

Summary

When deploying an AS3 to a bigip device using Terraform where a previous connection was interrupted (likely due to another BIGIP REST issue), the provider responds with "Error:no change". This shouldn't be treated as an error as the desired state has been achieved! A refresh doesn't allow the state to be updated and the user is stuck.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• To reproduce, deploy an AS3 to a bigip device.
• Remove the AS3 deployment from state (terraform state rm ...)
• Perform a terraform refresh
• Perform a terraform apply (error appears)
• Change ANY item in the AS3
• Perform a terraform apply

1. Provide terraform resource config which you are facing trouble along with the output of it. ANY AS3

2. To get to know more about the issue, provide terraform debug logs N/A

3. To capture debug logs, export TF_LOG variable with debug ( export TF_LOG= DEBUG ) before runnning terraform apply/plan N/A

4. As3/DO json along with the resource config( for AS3/DO resource issues )

Expected Behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. The "Error:no change" should be handled as matching expected declaration. Should be handed in the provider.

Actual Behavior

A clear and concise description of what actually happens. Please include any applicable error output.
