I enabled trace logging and noticed that we're getting these errors.

A quick google showed several recent go issues when using WSL so I tried in a Linux VM and it worked.

👋

As @seumasdunlop has mentioned above, we've had a few reports of users encountering this issue when using WSL - from our research it appears to be an issue where the IPv4 addresses aren't correctly resolved by the default DNS server when running in WSL.

Other users have been able to workaround this by updating their DNS Servers (to CloudFlare/Google/OpenDNS etc) within WSL which has fixed this for them - however since this appears to be a WSL issue rather than something specific to Terraform, I'm going to close this issue for the moment but I'd recommend opening an issue on the WSL repository where someone from Microsoft should be able to take a look.

Thanks!
