can't get the correct terraform state file when importing the existed resources

[bretagne-peiqi]

What happened?

importing existed resources with yaml file filled required fields and annotations: crossplane.io/external-name: xxx

expected to import the resource, but following the logs: the provider can't get the good result during oberservation, which means, it failed to get the right tfstate file and thought the resources does't existed and try to create one.

 cat terraform.tfstate
{
  "version": 4,
  "terraform_version": "1.1.5",
  "serial": 1,
  "lineage": "4a5f1ef0-9c2e-41fa-a0c6-3b3a92cc8666",
  "outputs": {},
  "resources": []
}

some logs:

How can we reproduce it?

my config file:

apiVersion: managedk8s.alicloud.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: ManagedKubernetes

  name: k8s-infra-test
  annotations:
    external-name: k8s-infra-test

I am wondering the cmd := w.executor.CommandContext(ctx, "terraform", "apply", "-refresh-only", "-auto-approve", "-input=false", "-lock=false", "-json") whether can get the good tfstate file ?, because it generated the file with resources [], and provider thought the resource doesn't exist

add terraform import resource can resolve this problem
