Expected Behavior

In version 5.43.0 and lower the provider reads the config from ~/.oci/config properly:

$ terraform -v
Terraform v1.5.7
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/oracle/oci v5.43.0

Your version of Terraform is out of date! The latest version
is 1.8.5. You can update by downloading from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html


$ terraform plan -input=false
oci_core_subnet.test_subnet1: Refreshing state... [id=ocid1.subnet.oc1.eu-frankfurt-1.aaaaaaaaox2hnp7cdh22ujrgkxphk3yp4qrusixsdkvzsj3shis4tz5xqn6q]

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.

Actual Behavior

provider version >= 5.44.0 does not read config from DEFAULT profile in ~/.oci/config

$ TF_LOG=DEBUG OCI_GO_SDK_DEBUG=v TF_LOG_PATH=tf_debug.log terraform plan -input=false

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

Steps to Reproduce

1. set user, fingerprint, tenancy, key_file as DEFAULT profile in ~/.oci/config
2. do not provide these values in tfvars, they should be read from the DEFAULT profile
3. terraform plan -input=false

Important Factoids

no, this is a general error for provider version >= 5.44.0 in lower version (the last one working fine is 5.43.0) provider reads credentials from DEFAULT profile
