Terraform apply the destroy plan

Terraform
1

Team,

Am using the terraform plan output to apply/destroy the infra. While using the destroy with the plan output, it’s throwing an error due to the output.conf. Is there a way to avoid executing output.tf when applying the destroy plan output?

FYI: output.tf is working fine with the plan and apply and throwing error with the apply with the destroy.out.

Work flow:

terraform plan -destroy --out=destroy.plan

> > Solicit Approval <<

terraform apply destroy.plan --auto-approve

Error:

To add more info for my question. When i use plan output to do terraform apply which is working perfect.

When I use terraform plan -destroy -out=destroy.tfplan```` and terraform apply destroy.tfplan``` it’s throwing the below-mentioned error.

The output conf which am using in the module and calling code is printed below.

In module:

output "server_details" {
  description = "This will print the type of the server and the ipadress(Based on the selection in the calling code)"
  value = zipmap(
    var.generic_vm_type.*.name,
    vsphere_virtual_machine.generic_vm.*.default_ip_address
  )
}

In calling code:

output "server_details" {
  description = "This will print the server type along with the ip"
  value       = module.server_vm.server_details
}

Error: Error in function call

  on .terraform/modules/client_vm/output.tf line 4, in output "server_details":
   4:   value = zipmap(
