PROBLEM
Given the following required_providers block…
terraform {
required_providers {
google = "~> 3.8"
}
}
… it will allow the following Google provider version: >= 3.8, < 4.0.
As of today (May 10), the latest Google provider is 3.20.0. A quick terraform init confirms that.

- Checking for available provider plugins...
- Downloading plugin for provider "google" (hashicorp/google) 3.20.0...
However, sometimes, there’s a need to skip a buggy version. For example, 3.20.0 breaks google_compute_firewall.
SOLUTION
To achieve that, we can do the following…
terraform {
required_providers {
google = "~> 3.8, != 3.20.0"
}
}
To confirm this works, after deleting .terraform/ dir, terraform init now shows the following result…
