Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

1.37.0

Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_api_management_product_api

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "azurerm_api_management_product_api" "attach" {
  product_id = "test"
  api_name = "myAPI"
  api_management_name = "myAPImanager"
  resource_group_name = "rg"
}

Expected Behavior

After creating an API and attaching it to a product with Terraform, one should be able to delete the API and, upon recreating it, the API should be attached to the product again.

Actual Behavior

When recreating the API, Terraform creates the API succesfully, but does not see the need to add it to the product, so the API ends up with no product assignment. If one tries assigning it to a different product however, this works successfully.

When performing the plan, terraform does refresh the product_api state, but it thinks the API is still assigned to the product (from its previous assignment) so does not attempt to add it again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Declare a new API with azurerm_api_management_api
2. Add the API to an existing product with azurerm_api_management_product_api
3. terraform plan & apply, the API is created and added successfully to the product
4. Manually remove the API from the API Management
5. Run terraform plan --refresh=true and apply again
6. Terraform recreates the API but does not assign it to a product
7. Repeat the above three steps but change the product_id to a different one, TF successfully adds it to the product

bug seems to be related to the Plan checking if the *_product_api already exists before creating
https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/blob/0fd80ac109826ceb3c2cd6ca791b5943e45ec0c4/azurerm/resource_arm_api_management_product_group.go#L94-L96
and never getting into because the client will return error==nil for NotFound status codes (when the *_product_api link doesn't exist yet)

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/blob/0fd80ac109826ceb3c2cd6ca791b5943e45ec0c4/vendor/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/services/apimanagement/mgmt/2018-01-01/apimanagement/productapi.go#L131-L139

In this stage, tf doesn't plan the creation of the azurerm_api_management_product_api because it ignores the missing existence
