EvalSymlinks and Readlink on Windows used to return incorrect information for windows junctions which were specifically not symlinks prior to go1.23. Unfortunately Terraform uses `EvalSymlinks` in situations where Windows users had come to expect their configuration to work as if it were symlinked even though it used a different filesystem structure. Set winsymlink=0 to restore the existing behavior until we can determine the best course of action for Windows users.

TIL there is godebug stanza allowed here, I always assumed it's environment variables only
There was a problem hiding this comment.
it was new feature in go1.23 so you can build a module with GODEBUG options by default, which is perfect timing for this particular go1.23 problem ;)
