Description
Enrivonment
- ubuntu
I have setup with a CLI configuration file oci_cli_rc with session
[DEFAULT]
compartment-id=ocid1.tenancy.oc1.....
auth=instance_principal
query=data
...
- oci cli version: 3.9.0
What I expect
running oci os bucket list
can work silently with success.
What I see
running oci os bucket list, I am prompted
ERROR: Could not find config file at /home/ubuntu/.oci/config
Do you want to create a new config file? [Y/n]:
But runing oci os bucket list --auth instance_principal successs.
An runing oci iam region list successs

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior with the oci_cli_rc file and oci os bucket list, comparing it with oci os bucket list --auth instance_principal and oci iam region list. Trace how the CLI loads auth from oci_cli_rc versus /home/ubuntu/.oci/config. Done means the configured auth=instance_principal is honored without the command-line flag.
