Issue Description

From about yesterday we are unable to deploy with azure cli script, for some reason we are getting "2020-02-20T21:47:46.4285528Z ##[error]Script failed with error: Error: The process 'D:\a_temp\azureclitaskscript1582235228379.bat' failed because one or more lines were written to the STDERR stream" even though there is no errors in the logs (even in debug).

I'm also having this error.

@goriunov @goatandsheep Thanks for reporting the issue. To confirm, you are able to see the errors written to stderr in the logs correct? Could you share them as well?

[goriunov]

@issacnitin from the logs which i have (debug enabled) only 3 lines contain error and nothing else:

@goriunov I'm able to reproduce the issue. We had a bug in the Azure CLI task, where if you have "Fail on Standard Error" checked, the script will always fail. The issue has been fixed and is in due rollout. For now, as a workaround, please uncheck the option to unblock your pipeline.

[issacnitin]

Closing the issue, as issue is already fixed and is in rollout.

[Astersss]

I got this issue today. Have you rolled out the fix already?

[antoniodlp]

This is happening to me as well in Azure Pipelines

[kevinwedwards]

we too are getting this....

Should we still be doing this work around in May?

[bishal-pdMSFT]

This issue could still be happening if your script is writing to stderr.

In v2 of Azure CLI task we have made improvements to print the stderr logs. You can upgrade to v2 and see what logs are being written to stderr by your script.

[Sarah-Aly]

Azure CLI task v2 causes the pipeline to fail although everything was successfully deployed. Checking the logs written to stderr by my script showed errors that were supposed to be informational logs from running the command az eventgrid event-subscription create. When will this be fixed?
