@ravinitp 4.88.0 gives below error on mac

$ terraform init

do you know if this issue is fixed already or do i need to wait 4.87.1 ?

[infa-ddeore]

@ravinitp this issue still persist on v4.88.1

[ravinitp]

Thank you for reporting the issue. We have raised an internal ticket to track this. Our service engineers will get back to you.

[NagaRajuPasunuri]

Please let us know if the issue is still seen with latest OCI Provider version. To always use the latest version, remove the version field in required_providers block and it will be as below:

terraform { required_providers { oci = { source = "oracle/oci" } } }

[MeharwadeDivya]

Works as expected with the latest versions. Hence closing out this ticket.
