Could not retrieve credential from local cache for service principal

[JontyMC]

Our github actions stopped working today with the error:

ERROR: Could not retrieve credential from local cache for service principal **********. Run az login for this service principal.

I've tried recreating the service principal, with no luck.

We're experienceing the same problem, something broke with the new Azure Cli version released today?

We're experienceing the same problem, something broke with the new Azure Cli version released today?

Looks this way, pinning the CLI action to last version works:

- name: Upload to blob storage
        uses: azure/CLI@v1
        with:
          azcliversion: 2.29.2
          inlineScript: ...

We're experiencing the same problem,

ERROR: Could not retrieve credential from local cache for service principal. Run az login for this service principal. Error: Error: az cli script failed.

Same error. Has resulted in a full stop of our development capabilities. @aksm-ms @BALAGA-GAYATRI

I've just fixed a recent issue with the required "inlineScript" on linux failing. Changing the clause to "run" fixes the problem for us.

Before fix: (failing)
uses: Azure/cli@1.0.4
with:
inlineScript: az webapp start -g ${{ secrets.RESOURCE_GROUP }} -n ${{ secrets.PORTAL_APP_NAME }} --slot staging
ERROR: Could not retrieve credential from local cache for service principal bla. Run az login for this service principal.
Error: Error: az cli script failed.

After fix:
run: |
az webapp start -g ${{ secrets.RESOURCE_GROUP }} -n ${{ secrets.PORTAL_APP_NAME }} --slot staging
Success, az command works.

Please see the detailed explanation at Azure/azure-cli#20154 (comment)

So the workaround from the above Azure/azure-cli#20154 (comment) should solve this issue. We are working to update the runners with latest CLI to avoid this discrepancy. Till then this fix should work.

Was there a change in the az installed in the runners today ? The workaround subitly stopped working and I needed to update all my workflows with 2.30.0 which now works...

Could you please advise as it's annoying to have to debug that.

[edburns]

Hit this as well with 2.29.0. Trying with 2.30.0 now.

[edburns]

Seems to have resolved the problem.

[BALAGA-GAYATRI]

Closing this issue as runners are updated with latest CLI :)
