Terraform Configuration Files

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.3.0"
  required_providers {
    vra = {
      source  = "vmware/vra"
      version = ">= 0.5.1"
    }
  }
}
resource "vra_deployment" "vm" {
  name = "test"
  catalog_item_name = "test"
  lifecycle {
    postcondition {
      condition     = self.last_request[0].action_id != "Deployment.Expire"
      error_message = "Machine has been Expired by vRA"
    }
  }
}

Debug Output

│ Error: Resource postcondition failed

Expected Behavior

The postcondition should fail in this case. But it should not prevent destruction of the resource.

Actual Behavior

terraform destroy fails instead of destroying the resource

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
2. terraform destroy

Additional Context

Putting the check as a precondition on an output value (which should be calculated after changes to the resource) still fails terraform destroy.
