Failed to authenticate with azure

[dalmasj]

Hello,

We have an issue when using v3.3 with the following error :
level=error msg="Failed to authenticate with azure: Invoking Azure CLI failed with the following error: "

Before this action we login to azure with Azure/login and the login was successfull
The secret for login is like { "clientId": "***", "clientSecret": "***", "subscriptionId": "***", "tenantId": "***"}

Do you have any idea what is wrong ?
Thank you

Hi @dalmasj, may you please provide your workflow file? So I can look into this issue further.

Hi,
My workflow file is like that:

  on: 
    push:
      branches: [ workflowconfiguration ]
  env:
    templatePath: ARMTemplateForFactory.json
    resourceGroupName: xxxx
    factoryName: xxxxx
    xxxx_connectionString: xxx
  
  jobs:
    build-and-deploy:
      runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
      steps:
      - name: Checkout GitHub Action
        uses: actions/checkout@main
        
      - name: Login via Az Module
        uses: azure/login@v1
        with:
          creds: ${{secrets.AZURE_CREDS}}
          enable-AzPSSession: true
            
      - name: Deploy arm template adf
        uses: whiteducksoftware/azure-arm-action@v3.3
        with:
          resourceGroupName: ${{env.resourceGroupName }}
          templateLocation: ${{env.templatePath }}
          deploymentName: "datafactorydeployment"
          overrideparameters:
                            factoryName=${{env.factoryName}}
                            xxxx_connectionString=${{env.xxxx_connectionString}}

Try setting enable-AzPSSession to false. As the Action utilises the CLI and not the Powershell module.

Ok i tried and we still have the same error : level=error msg="Failed to authenticate with azure: Invoking Azure CLI failed with the following error: "

Okay, at first glance I don't see any obvious error. Sadly the upstream library we are using has an issue so it doesn't return the error correctly (as it is in your case empty). I have implemented a temporary fix myself (c836b23).
On Monday I will provide you instructions on how to test with these changes.

Hi @dalmasj, I have some updates for you.

The issue came up due to GitHub changing how the virtual runtime of their hosted runners works, as so I had to revert back the authentication to be handled by the Action itself (as so @azure/login is no longer supported.). I have already published a fix and retagged it with the Version v3.3 (#9).

All you need to do to get it working again is to remove Login via Az Module and move the creds parameter to Deploy arm template adf and it should be working again.

@dalmasj does your issue still occur or has it been fixed by my latest changes?
