Terraform Configuration Files

see above

Debug Output

Non, says it worked, but didn't

Expected Behavior

Move a file from one directory to another

Actual Behavior

File keeps untouched

Steps to Reproduce

Modify e.g. the filename from test.yml to testtwo.yml without changing anything else within your terraform.

1. terraform apply

I'd say you basically have ignore_changes on file, so rename filename shouldn't trigger terraform change.

@philippfrenzel the file changes was ignored by ignore_changes
