Downgrading the azure-cli version back to 2.18.0 also did the trick for me… For these who are using Azure Hosted Pipelines you can add an Inline Script to your Azure Pipeline yml:

sudo apt install -y --allow-downgrades azure-cli=2.18.0-1~bionic

The Release behind the “~” relates on the Version you are using. e.g. ubuntu-latest is currently using 18.04, so you have to choose ~bionic

You can gather a list of the correlated Releases here

@SaulLoachamin I think you are referring to the AzureDevOps task AzureCLI; but it is misleading; it does not include the azure-cli itself, but is just “glue” around it. The actual azure-cli is a prerequisite. All hosted build agents have it pre-installed. In the latest windows-latest image, this seems to have been updated quite recently (seemingly on 2021-02-15). Current ubuntu-latest still has the old version 2.18 that does not seem to have the regression from 2.19.1, at least for now. This is the work-around I am using right now.

@miketimofeev Deploying a broken azure-clito your build agents, will cause a lot of problems for a lot of users. I can only vouch for either a hotfix or a rollback. A workaround adding “12 minutes” to a build, does not seem to be a feasible solution to me. Thanks for confirmation though!

@selamanse AzDO and GitHub hosted ubuntu runners contain pre-installed AzCopy 10, available by azcopy10 alias

miketimofeev on Feb 25, 2021

For all you SRE or wanna-be DevOps like me; macOS-10.14 is a hosted agent, that still has the old azure-cli version and my current work-around because ubuntu-latest and windows-latest contain the broken version 2.19.1 that breaks builds for all customers of hosted AzureDevOps agents (and I assume GitHub Actions as well).

ChristianUlbrich on Feb 19, 2021

I tried with azure cli 2.1.0 and is working in the MS vs2017-win2016.

SaulLoachamin on Feb 16, 2021

We have the same issue; looks like MS hosted agents did an update to 2.19.1(today/yesterday’s enterprise) and thus now all builds using azure-cli will break.

This effectively breaks all of our pipelines. 😦

Same here on version 2.19.1 when trying to execute az storage remove --account-name $StorageAccountSrc -c $containerName -n $blobName. Authorization was made by az login --service-principal --username $ClientId --password $ClientSecret --tenant $TenantId
