When Terraform crashes because Golang results in a panic, where will it log the results?

When Terraform encounters a crash due to a Golang panic, it logs the results to a specific log file designed for capturing such events, known as crash.log. This file is particularly useful for diagnosing issues that lead to a crash, as it contains information about the state of the application at the time of the panic, including stack traces and other relevant error messages.

This logging mechanism helps developers and users to understand what went wrong and facilitates easier debugging. In case of a panic, you can refer to crash.log to get insights into the circumstances leading up to the crash, supporting better error handling and stability improvements in future iterations.

The other mentioned log files serve different purposes: debug.log is typically for detailed debug information, terraform.log is used for general logging of Terraform operations, and panic.log, while it sounds plausible, is not actually a log file utilized by Terraform.
