This command used to work, but I may have updated az since then.

Due to knack conversion, cli_ctx is needed to create any clients and we missed that.
Because related tests can only run live, I suggest:

1. For any PR merged, please manually verify every impacted scenarios per code change
2. I will ensure check out live test results before release

[yugangw-msft]

I will take this one due to the severity and we need to fix asap

Thanks @yugangw-msft

Can this not be unit tested in lieu of Live Test? That would catch the missing cli_ctx error.

[yugangw-msft]

I have added a few unit tests. That said, live tests still need to run to ensure commands really function well. For context, those are binary payload based commands and so far our test framework is not able to record them for playback.

I'm still encountering this error on the latest version of azure cli, and can't figure out how I'm supposed to view the logs for my live web app?

[yugangw-msft]

The fix will be released next week. For now you can use docker images or edge builds mentioned at https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli#docker

Hi, any update on this?
Thanks

[yugangw-msft]

@pmosconi, please install the latest CLI which has the fix

[pmosconi]

@yugangw-msft , thanks for the prompt reply: I'm on 2.0.25, the latest prod version and I can't install a dev release.
