terraform fmt question

[tombuildsstuff]

An issue's been opened on the Terraform repository regarding the terraform fmt command, which after some tracing through comes into this repository.

HCL Template

# Global Variables
variable "account_number" {}
variable "active_region" {}
variable "aws_region" {}
variable "env_name" {}

Expected behavior

What should have happened?

terraform fmt should be happy with this code block.

Actual behavior

What actually happened?

terraform fmt resulted in the following:

# Overall
variable "account_number" {}

variable "active_region" {}
variable "aws_region" {}
variable "env_name" {}

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a single-line comment to the top of a block of similar variables
2. terraform fmt

References

Are there any other GitHub issues (open or closed) that should
be linked here? For example:

• Original issue: Terraform fmt expects only a single variable following a comment terraform#13155

@grubernaut you've been in this before. Any insight?

For what it's worth, I hit this after updating from TF 0.8.7 to TF 0.9.2. I'm not sure how that relates to this repo but it seems to have been something changed in that range.
