When running Terraform in a pipeline you need to pass the parameter -input-false . This will cause Terraform to immediately output the error and I suspect it's saying something like the input variable .net_name is not set because you have not explained how you are joining the variable group to Terraform. It is not enough to simply add the pipeline variables, you must also pass them into Terraform.

There are a number of ways of passing values into Terraform as described in this page here: https://www.terraform.io/language/values/variables#assigning-values-to-root-module-variables

The most common method I have seen used is to create an environment.tfvars file. This is a simple key:pair value of variables which you can hard-code variables into which you then pass into Terraform like terraform apply -var-file="environment.tfvars"

If you have values in Azure Pipelines that you want to place there, you can use the Azure Replace Tokens tasks. ( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qetza.replacetokens )

In which case your environment.tfvars will look like this:

vnet_name = #{vnet_name}#

The Replace Token Task will replace the Azure Pipeline variable .net_name with the value described in your variable group.
