Exception when using Terraform apply step with remote backend

Octopus Server
1

I’m getting the following exception in my deployment when trying to use a remote backend for Terraform. The deployment works fine when configured without the backend so I know it’s not the Terraform code. I’ve also validated that the workspace exists in the remote backend and there is a state file so it’s not clear to me what this exception is referring to.
