Panic Output

I, [2016-09-13T01:05:12.225426 hashicorp/terraform#2580] INFO -- : * aws_route.peer_route: Error finding route after creating it: error finding matching route for Route table (rtb-9e3329fb) and destination CIDR block (10.184.36.0/22)

Expected Behavior

Terraform should create the route w/o throwing an error.

Actual Behavior

The route gets created successfully. But the terraform apply completes w/ an error for some reason?

Steps to Reproduce

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

1. terraform apply

This issue is intermittent and doesn't happen every time.

Important Factoids

This is part of a larger TF Apply operation. The route is is created in a different AWS account while setting up a VPC peering connection. The main terraform script creates a peering connection on Account A, then we use a 'local_exec' call to accept the peering connection on account B. then we use the peer_route module (pasted above) to create the required route tables on the account B. For some reason we intermittently see the error shown above and we don't understand why. We have terraform retry count set pretty high (21):

provider "aws" {
region = "${var.region}"
profile = "${var.profile}"
max_retries = 21
alias = "peer_route"
}
