Workspace run remains in a pending state

Introduction

Starting with the Terraform Enterprise v202202-1 release and Terraform Cloud, enforcement of valid workspace tag names has been added. Tags must now start and end with alphanumeric characters. If a workspace has invalid tags that were created prior to this release and a run is started, the workspace run will stay in a pending state until the invalid tag is removed.

Recommendation

  The updated tag requirements are as follows:

Tag name restrictions: to include letters, numbers, colons, hyphens, and underscores; 
and must begin and end with an alphanumeric character

1. Check the existence of an invalid tag within a workspace similar to this location https://app.terraform.io/app/$organizationname/workspaces/$workspace-nameand to the far right of the page, there is a Tag section about midway down. 
2. Verify the existence of the invalid tag and if so delete the tag by clicking on the x near the name. 
3. The pending run should change its state and process once the invalid tag is removed
4. If the state doesn't change, cancel the run and queue another run
5. To remove any invalid tags from the entire Terraform Enterprise or Terraform Cloud organization proceed to https://app.terraform.io/app/$organizationname/settings/tagsfor Tag Management.
