Description of the change
We're seeing occasional test failures caused by the
terraformbinary being modified while we're trying to execute it as part of the acceptance tests (see this related issue: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/issues/629).The suggested solution in the Terraform plugin developer docs is to install a version of Terraform before running
