Error: Provider returned invalid result object after apply on orcasecurity_business_unit

TL;DR: if terraform apply on orcasecurity_business_unit ends with Error: Provider returned invalid result object after apply (id still unknown after apply), it is a provider-side bug in how the business unit resource reads back state. Update the provider to v0.0.23; the reporter confirmed the resource then applies cleanly.

Error: Provider returned invalid result object after apply

Steps

1. Bump the provider version constraint to >= 0.0.23 and run terraform init -upgrade.

2. Re-run apply.

   Expected: the business unit applies cleanly. Success check: the id is known in state.

When to use this

• The error names orcasecuritybusinessunit and the unknown id after apply.

When NOT to use this

• Plan-time errors; those are config problems.
• Other resources fail the same way; check each provider.

Compatibility

• Orca Security provider v0.0.23+.

Variant phrasings

• "orcasecuritybusinessunit invalid result object"
• "terraform provider returned invalid result after apply"

Root cause

The provider's read-back for the business unit resource did not populate the id, so Terraform saw it as unknown after a successful apply.

Edge cases

• None reported.
