Hello,

I’m getting this error, but when looking on the web I can’t realy find much doc nor tips on it.

Hi there,

Did you ever fix this issue? Like you, I’m having the same problem with no resolution, it was working fine one day then the next I started seeing: │ Error: Error building AzureRM Client: obtain subscription() from Azure CLI: Error parsing json result from the Azure CLI: Error waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1

I’ve tried reinstalling Az CLI, Terraform but no fix so far, interestingly I’m able to build resources using az commands independently too, so really not sure what I’m missing.

Thanks,
Jake

No, I never could solve it. I was doing quite some special stuff with pipeline variables (From DevOps), once I took that out it started to work.
Think there is a different moment in time that the variables are interpreted between a bash command (where I checked the values) and the AZ CLI. Not only path was dynamic, my TFVars file itself was also build with variales …
Was that the reason, never could find out …
Sorry

Even I am facing the same issue.
I have 2 Azure DevOps pipelines that are using the same variable group, steps, and tasks. Surprisingly 1st pipeline runs successfully but the second pipeline fails at PLAN phase with the same error. It’s unpredictable…!
