For reference, this is what shows up when viewing the run in Terraform Cloud:

Hello @spencerfong-iceye, I can reproduce the problem. It's a bug in Terraform, but I think I can work around it.

Terraform Cloud is increasingly a completely separate product to Terraform, crammed into the same cli. I don't particularly care to support it better than Hashicorp themselves.

Thanks very much for addressing this! Would you be willing to create a possible fix or workaround for this bug in the Action if you have ideas in mind already? If not then I understand completely; I will probably just change my workflow to setup and run Terraform manually in that case. Regardless I appreciate all your work on these actions so far, they've definitely saved me a lot of time and headache!

Also I just want to mention this seems to be happening with workspaces below 1.6.0 as well, I just ran into the exact same issue in a workspace running 1.5.7. The earliest version I've noticed doesn't have this problem is a workspace running 1.1.9, but I'm not sure what the latest version is that wouldn't have this problem; I haven't done extensive testing in that regard.

I think this is fixed in v1.41.2.

Hi @dflook, thank you for the update! I can confirm using v1.41.2 fixes the issue, apply runs are now confirmed automatically for workspaces using 1.6.0 and above. I appreciate your help!
