resource/aws_acmpca_certificate: If ACM PCA CA is in invalid state, reading certificate fails

[gdavison]

Terraform Core Version

1.2.9

AWS Provider Version

4.32.0,4.29.0

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_acmpca_certificate
• aws_acmpca_certificate_authority_certificate

Expected Behavior

The provider should ignore the error and remove the aws_acmpca_certificate from state

Actual Behavior

On update, if an ACM PCA CA with previously issued aws_acmpca_certificate and aws_acmpca_certificate_authority_certificate is now in an invalid state, e.g. DELETED, reading the aws_acmpca_certificate will fail with the error:

Error: error reading ACM PCA Certificate (arn:aws:acm-pca:us-west-2:123456789012:certificate-authority//certificate/): InvalidStateException: The certificate authority arn:aws:acm-pca:us-west-2: 123456789012:certificate-authority/**** is not in the correct state to have issued certificates.

Reading the aws_acmpca_certificate_authority_certificate will fail with the error:

Error: error reading ACM PCA Certificate Authority Certificate (arn:aws:acm-pca:us-west-2: 123456789012:certificate-authority/): InvalidStateException: The certificate authority arn:aws:acm-pca:us-west-2: 123456789012:certificate-authority/ is not in the correct state to have a certificate signing request

I'd suggest the desired effect is that the provider un-deletes and re-enables the PCA.
