Cmder: Azure CLI 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Description of the issue


Unable to run any Azure CLI commands from CMDER, keep getting the error:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Full example of what I'm trying to:

user.name@BRM-19822-L ~/OneDrive/cmder
λ username=$(az account show --query user.name --output tsv)

user.name@BRM-19822-L ~/OneDrive/cmder
λ vm=$(az vm show --resource-group chkprm-compute --name asdfmmon0 --query id -o tsv)

user.name@BRM-19822-L ~/OneDrive/cmder
λ az role assignment create --role "Virtual Machine Administrator Login" --assignee $username --scope $vm

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Install locations:
CMDER: C:\Users*USER*\OneDrive\cmder
Az CLI: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKsAzure\CLI2\wbin\az.cmd

Environment set for Az CLI:
C:\Users*USER*\OneDrive\cmder\configuser-profile.sh

where this is set so I don't have to type az.cmd each time:
alias az='az.cmd'

Now it's obvious that CMDER breaks when accessing the full path of az.cmd when it comes across the first 'space' in the path name. Sadly, I cannot change the program path of CLI during install. Thanks Microsoft. So, does anyone know how I can reference this without it breaking, please?

I don't use CMDER but stumbled on this issue because I was seeing the same thing when trying to run az from the MINGW Bash shell that comes with Git for Windows.

At first, I tried the alias of az to az.cmd but that broke down when trying to invoke shell scripts that invoke az.

What worked for me was adding this to ~/.bashrc:

AZURE_CLI_PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Azure/CLI2"

export PATH="${PATH}:${AZURE_CLI_PATH}:${AZURE_CLI_PATH}/Scripts"

Then restarting the shell. From then on, az worked as expected in all cases.

This works because a Bash version of the az command exists in the /Scripts folder of the Azure CLI path. The parent folder must also be in the path to ensue that Python is available.

Looks like you are in a bash shell? I doubt the az.cmd will work in a bash shell. Have you tried it in the default cmd->cmder shell?

@daxgames , the Az command does work fine in the bash shell (see screenshot of login)

I realize at least some things work properly in bash but I do n9t have an azure account to test with.

So I will ask again have you tried the exact same command that is failing in bash in the cmder default cmd.exe shell.

I doubt Cmder is spontaneously modifying what is being called by az.cmd so it is probably calling an unquoted fully qualified path with spaces that are not properly escaped that is failing because I saw no fully qualified path in your example.

Just a thought but I need you to confirm in a cmd.exe as well as a cmder enhanced cmd.exe shell.

This is probably not a great example now, but this does happen with a lot of other commands. So much so, that I ended giving up on cmder for any Az commands and instead loaded Ubuntu in VMWare just for this. Anyway, here is the output of the command in PowerShell (cmd does not like variables), an altered command, because the ones you see listed above do not work for anything else but Linux. In addition to that, it did fail, but took about 4-5min to bring back an error;

$username = az account show --query user.name --output tsv
$vm = az vm show --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name MyServer --query id -o tsv
az role assignment create --role "Virtual Machine Administrator Login" --assignee $username --scope $vm



PS C:\Users\paul.mackinnon> az role assignment create --role "Virtual Machine Administrator Login" --assignee $username --scope $vm

If I repeat the command in cmder as initially stated, it would error immediately. I would like to give you more varied commands that fail, but as I said, I gave up on cmder and Az working together.

Running the command in Ubuntu VM worked straight away, no issues.
