@apparentlymart just a heads up that I'm reopening this issue here since I think I found an interesting crash with ResourceData.get() and terraform_remote_state when its a list value.

Reproduction: https://gist.github.com/bflad/fc5b29503bb0177633a475a92b88e0b4

Panic code reference: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/47b178aee95d115fb366accd9c3d3f6cf393c07d/helper/schema/resource_data.go#L494-L503

from terraform-plugin-sdk.

Another report of this: hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#4142

The behavior can be pretty confusing to track down. In this case a TypeList output of a terraform_remote_state data source was being used as a TypeString input and causing the panic.

This is not reproducible in v0.12.17 + provider.aws v2.41.0 anymore, so I'm going to close it.

Instead Terraform will error out as expected:

Error: Incorrect attribute value type

  on main.tf line 14, in data "aws_lb" "example":
  14:   arn = "${data.terraform_remote_state.example.outputs.list}"

Inappropriate value for attribute "arn": string required.

(this is after modifying the attached repro case for 0.12 syntax & recent changes)
