Intermittent Error: "Unable to read vault, got error: op error: cannot read config"

[JM89]

Your environment

Terraform Provider Version: 2.1.2

Connect Server Version:-

CLI Version: 2.30.0

OS: linux

Terraform Version: 1.9.8

What happened?

I receive an intermittent error when running terraform plan:

Unable to read vault, got error: op error: cannot read config at
"/home/appuser/.config/op/config": invalid JSON: unexpected end of JSON input

I provided a sample code below, we have about 30 items against the same 1Password vault, and we receive this error 1 out of 3 terraform plans. We noticed this issue on a smaller number of items too, but the frequency of occurrence increased with the number of items. When it fails, not all the items fail, only a few.

What did you expect to happen?

• No error at all or at least a clear message so we can troubleshoot.

Steps to reproduce

1. Terraform code:

// provider.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    onepassword = {
      source = "1Password/onepassword"
      version = "2.1.2"
    }
  }
}

provider "onepassword" {
  service_account_token = ""
}

// main.tf *30
data "onepassword_vault" "vault" {
  count = 1
  name  = var.onepassword_vault_name
}

resource "onepassword_item" "user_account" {
  count    = 1
  vault    = data.onepassword_vault.vault[0].uuid
  category = "login" 
  username = "username"
  password = sensitive(random_password.user_password.result)
  title    = "Title"
  url      = "https://validurl"
  tags     = ["Tag"]
}

resource "random_password" "user_password" {
  length           = 40
  special          = false
  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [length, override_special]
  }
}

Notes & Logs

Hi @JM89 thank you for the report. We are currently investing in switching this provider from using the CLI to using our 1Password Go SDK directly. Some more context can be found here.

Can you try running terraform apply command with -parallelism=1 and see if this issue persists?
