It’s a business critical issue for us, so I’m happy to escalate as a priority level 1 if needed.

Is there any ETA on when the release will be updated on the Cloud Shell as well? It’s still running the 2.26.0 version.

Yep, we applied this workaround and it actually works (failed to mention it in this thread but did mention here: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/3735). Thanks @xenatisch !

This has been brought up in https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/3735 where they mentioned that they will update the runners by Wed/Thurs… in the mean time there’s a workaround to run az cli upgrade to 2.26.1 (it adds about 5 mins to your workflow)

az upgrade --yes az upgrade is not supported by Cloud Shell. Kindly improve AZ test quality and TEAM. we are facing lot of issues and people keep on posting and facing lot issues in AZ tools. Never expect these kind of lot issues from AZ CLI tools. And downloading Az CLI very slow.

Working in AZ cli local { “azure-cli”: “2.26.1”, “azure-cli-core”: “2.26.1”, “azure-cli-telemetry”: “1.0.6”, “extensions”: {} }

The issue is apparently solved by the yesterday’s release of az-cli. At least az acr build started working locally after the upgrade. In our case, we depend on github runners, so I expect it to disappear soon, once they start rolling out machines with updated az-cli.

@marcin-vt yeah, it won’t work on the pipeline. There is another workaround, but it’ll be messy @JotaP. You can build directly using docker build, then log in and push the built image into the registry.

Not very feasible if you have several pipelines for different things, connected to different branches like we do. It’ll take a day to update and test them all.

Thanks for the workaround but sadly enough it’s a big mess for us as we have a lot of different pipelines and automated stuff around them. Anyways, thanks for the idea @xenatisch
