### Terraform Version ```shell Terraform v1.12.2 on linux_amd64 ``` ### Terraform Configuration Files ```terraform provider "oci" { auth = "SecurityToken" config_file_profile = "DEFAULT" region = "us-chicago-1" } terraform { required_version = ">= 1.12.0" required_providers { oci = { source = "oracle/oci" version = "~> 6.0" } } backend "oci" { namespace = "REDACTED" auth = "SecurityToken" config_file_profile = "DEFAULT" } } resource "oci_objectstorage_bucket" "this" { compartment_id = "ocid1.compartment.oc1..REDACTED" name = "my-bucket" namespace = "REDACTED" } ``` ### Debug Output [terraform_trace.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/20943610/terraform_trace.log) ### Expected Behavior OCI backend configuration argument `bucket` is set using environmental variable `OCI_bucket` as described in the [documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/backend/oci#setting-backend-configuration-via-environment-variables): > You can configure the OCI Terraform backend using environment variables. This provides flexibility and simplifies automation workflows. > For any backend attribute (e.g., region), you can set its value using one of the following environment variable formats: > [...] > `OCI_` – OCI SDK-compatible environment variable ### Actual Behavior init fails: ``` + terraform init -force-copy Initializing the backend... bucket The name of the OCI Object Storage bucket.
