Cannot create an Azure Application gateway using Terraform

I’m trying to create an instance of Application Gateway. While doing so, I get the following error:

Error: creating Application Gateway: (Name "name-gateway-wgrkecswbk" / Resource Group "name03n62mct"): network.ApplicationGatewaysClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=400 -- Original Error: Code="InvalidResourceName" Message="Resource name is invalid. The name can be up to 80 characters long. It must begin with a word character, and it must end with a word character or with '_'. The name may contain word characters or '.', '-', '_'." Details=[]

The name used is name-gateway-wgrkecswbk which, looks to be a valid name according the error description.

The location used is

   with module.name.module.gateway[0].azurerm_application_gateway.res,
   on .terraform/modules/name/modules/gateway/main.tf line 20, in resource "azurerm_application_gateway" "name":
   20: resource "azurerm_application_gateway" "name" {

Tried removed dashes and making it shorter, with the same results.

    The issue was that under ssl_certificate, the name property was using a variable ssl_certificate_name which turned to be empty.

    Then, the error coming back from Azure was half correct; It was an invalid name used, since it was an empty var, but not at the resource level ( azurerm_application_gateway.name ), instead it was at the inner block azurerm_application_gateway.name.ssl_certificate.name level.

    Code:

    resource "azurerm_application_gateway" "name" {

//....

 ssl_certificate {
    // var contents were empty
    name                = var.ssl_certificate_name 
  }

}

    Already reported this issue to Azure so hopefully it gets resolved soon.

    Provider version was 3.37

    The unicode character [i.e., space] on the gateway name may cause a problem. I have repeated the procedure using the same application gateway name, "name-gateway-wgrkecswbk."

    below code reference from harshicop

    main tf as follows:

    provider "azurerm" {
    features {}
}
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "**********"
  location = "West Europe"
}
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "example" {
  name                = "examples-network"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  address_space       = ["10.254.0.0/16"]
}

resource "azurerm_subnet" "frontend" {
  name                 = "frontend"
  resource_group_name  = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  virtual_network_name = azurerm_virtual_network.example.name
  address_prefixes     = ["10.254.0.0/24"]
}

resource "azurerm_subnet" "backend" {
  name                 = "backend"
  resource_group_name  = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  virtual_network_name = azurerm_virtual_network.example.name
  address_prefixes     = ["10.254.2.0/24"]

  sku {
    name     = "Standard_Small"
    tier     = "Standard"
    capacity = 2
  }

  gateway_ip_configuration {
    name      = "my-gateway-ip-configuration"
    subnet_id = azurerm_subnet.frontend.id
  }

  frontend_port {
    name = local.frontend_port_name

    path                  = "/path1/"
    port                  = 80
    protocol              = "Http"
    request_timeout       = 60
  }

  http_listener {
    name                           = local.listener_name
    frontend_ip_configuration_name = local.frontend_ip_configuration_name
    frontend_port_name             = local.frontend_port_name

    http_listener_name         = local.listener_name
    backend_address_pool_name  = local.backend_address_pool_name
    backend_http_settings_name = local.http_setting_name
  }
}

    provide tf as follows:

    terraform {
  
      required_version = "~>1.3.3"
      required_providers {
        azurerm = {
           source = "hashicorp/azurerm"
           version = ">=3.5.0"
             }
           }
 }

    Output while running plan command
