Expected Behavior

Show list of additions, removals, modifications - this works for cdktf deploy for some reason.

Actual Behavior

No output at all.

This is not really a bug, but the expected behaviour right now. We might change the behaviour though when we switch out our current Terraform Cloud implementation by using the terraform cli.

[DanielMSchmidt]

Terraform CLI does show the plan, so #1955 should fix this

[DanielMSchmidt]

Fixed in #1955
