Error: can not create client, bad configuration: did not find a proper configuration for tenancy

[amarkel]

As I am trying to perform a 'terraform plan', I am getting the following error:

amarkel$ terraform plan -var-file=./myFile.tfvars -state=./myFile.tfstate
Refreshing Terraform state in-memory prior to plan...
The refreshed state will be used to calculate this plan, but will not be
persisted to local or remote state storage.

amarkel$ terraform -v
Terraform v0.12.20
+ provider.null v2.1.2
+ provider.oci v3.63.0
+ provider.template v2.1.2
+ provider.tls v2.1.1

provider_local.tf:

provider "oci" {
  alias            = "local"
  version          = ">= 3.59"
  tenancy_ocid     = var.tenancy_ocid
  user_ocid        = var.user_ocid
  fingerprint      = var.fingerprint
  private_key_path = var.private_key_path
  region           = var.region
}

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Environment is MacOS X.

Ideas/solutions will be welcome.

Hello @amarkel

Please take a look at example usage: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/oci/index.html#example-usage

This could help you verify provider configuration. Make sure that you have correct values for the variables. Thanks!

@amarkel please let us know if you need anything else for this request, thanks!

[amarkel]

I verified again that my provider configuration is correct. (My teammates work with this setup and they do not fail ...)

@amarkel The error you mentioned above is from GoSDK: https://github.com/oracle/oci-go-sdk/blob/master/common/configuration.go#L485

Please try to reproduce the problem with the Example Usage and share the configuration example. (just limit the scope to only oci provider with the simple configuration)

Make sure you are not getting unexpected values from the configuration file https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/oci/index.html#using-the-sdk-and-cli-configuration-file

What worked for is to change ~/.ssh in the path of the private key to a full path name.
