EIP deletion is not detected, unable to recover via taint

[ksperling]

Terraform Version

Terraform v0.10.2
AWS provider v0.1.4

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_eip

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_eip" "prod-otacontrol" {
  vpc = true
}

Expected and Actual Behavior

When the resource is deleted externally, terraform refresh should pick this up and recreate the resource. However the InvalidAllocationID.NotFound for the EIP is silently ignored and Terraform assumes the EIP still exists.

Trying to remedy the situation manually via terraform taint also does not work; When attempting to delete the (non-existant) EIP, Terraform keeps retrying to perform a ReleaseAddress indefinitely.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. Create an EIP via Terraform (plan / apply)
2. Delete the EIP via AWS console
3. Terraform refresh / plan. Observe EIP deletion is not detected.
4. Attempt to recover via taint / plan / apply also does not work.

References

The bug seems to have been introduced in this commit e4244f8 as part of #1053

When the EIP is not found in the "existing resource" code path, d.SetId("") needs to be called.
