Error: The terraform-provider-azurerm_v3.30.0_x5 plugin crashed!

This is always indicative of a bug within the plugin. It would be immensely
helpful if you could report the crash with the plugin's maintainers so that it
can be fixed. The output above should help diagnose the issue.

Expected Behaviour

shoudl work or error out gracefully

Actual Behaviour

SIGSEGV

Steps to Reproduce

use terraform apply against the provided main.tf.

The culprit is this block

  share_properties {
  }

If i remove it it's fine. That's a reasonable solution but I wanted to report this bug as a SIGSEGV crash is not ideal error handling.

@awangptc, thank your for opening this issue. The bug is with the expandShareProperties function, if you pass an empty share_properties code block the expand returns an uninitialized storage.FileServiceProperties object and since it is uninitialized when the code attempts to access the expected values within that object it throws a nil pointer dereference error.
