terraform destroy a ruby gems local repository gives an error and prevents Terraform state from being refreshed

[zamanh]

Describe the bug
I try to destroy a local ruby-gems repo. I get error:

│ Error: Unable to Delete Resource │ │ An unexpected error occurred while attempting to delete the resource. Please │ retry the operation or report this issue to the provider developers. │ │ Error: Cannot invoke │ "org.artifactory.descriptor.repo.RepoDescriptor.getType()" because the return │ value of │ "org.artifactory.repo.service.InternalRepositoryService.repoDescriptorByKey(String)" │ is null

Which then doesn't let the terraform apply or destroy anything until the offender is remove from the state manually using TF

Requirements for and issue

• A description of the bug
• A fully functioning terraform snippet that can be copy&pasted (no outside files or ENV vars unless that's part of the issue). If this is not supplied, this issue will likely be closed without any effort expended.

resource "artifactory_local_gems_repository" "terraform-local-test-gems-repo" {
  key = "terraform-local-test-gems-repo"
}

• Your version of artifactory (you can curl it at $host/artifactory/api/system/version: 7.98.13 (self-hosted)
• Your version of terraform: 1.9.8
• Your version of terraform provider: 12.8.3

Expected behavior
I should be able to destroy a ruby gems repo without the above error and the Terraform state file should not be in affected state.

@zamanh Thanks for the report! I've added this to our plan to investigate and fix.

Can you also share the TF configuration for this ruby gems repo? Please redact/replace any sensitive information, of course.
