Terraform v0.14.8

Terraform Configuration Files

locals { a = false ? [] : [{ a = null }, { a = [] }] }

Debug Output

Crash Output

https://gist.github.com/Vlad1mir-D/62cb918fa36054869c5c70c4101d9f94

Expected Behavior

No changes. Infrastructure is up-to-date.

This means that Terraform did not detect any differences between your
configuration and real physical resources that exist. As a result, no
actions need to be performed.

Actual Behavior

panic: inconsistent list element types (cty.Object(map[string]cty.Type{"a":cty.DynamicPseudoType}) then cty.Object(map[string]cty.Type{"a":cty.EmptyTuple}))

information is available on the first line of crash.log. You can also
get it by running 'terraform --version' on the command line.
