Terraform error: context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

[#1]

Hi,

I am testing terraform for Infoblox. The grid is running NIOS 8.5.5 and I am using terraform version 2.4.1. I have terraform successfully initialized and then put in a simple resource block for the creation of a simple A record. However, terraform returns the error below when I run the command terraform apply.

Interestingly, that A record is acutally created and appears in the data base a few minutes later. However, when I run terraform show, it says "The state file is empty. No resources are represented." And if I run terraform apply again, it will return a 400 error and saying the record already exists. Anyone has any idea?

Thanks.
