az upgrade not upgrading from version 2.50 to version 2.51

[rick-wubs]

Describe the bug

The az upgrade command says it will upgrade to the latest version. I have currently version 2.50 installed, and it says version 2.51 is available. However, when I run az upgrade it says 'already up to date'.

Related command

az upgrade

Errors

Already up-to-date.

Expected behavior

when I have version 2.50 and version 2.51 is available, I expect az upgrade to upgrade version 2.50 to version 2.51

Hi @rick-wubs,

2.50.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.51.0).

Please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

2.51 is not released to Homebrew yet, see #27047

[WaitingForGuacamole]

Is there a timeline for getting this into Homebrew?

[bebound]

We plan to remove two dependencies, which takes extra effort.
We’ll release 2.52 to Homebrew on Sep 5

It looks like there is no way to run 'az' on macos anymore. Everytime az command is run, for any service, it tries to upgrade, shows the following warning and keeps doing this in a loop.

Warning: azure-cli 2.50.0_1 already installed
WARNING: New Azure CLI version available. Running 'az upgrade' to update automatically.
WARNING: This command is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus

WARNING: Please check the release notes first: https://docs.microsoft.com/cli/azure/release-notes-azure-cli

Is there anyway we can fix this before Sep. 5th?

Thank you

[krknopp]

Hopefully this workaround won't delay a real fix, but this got me working while I wait.

az config set auto-upgrade.enable=no

Thank you @krknopp

pip3 install azure-cli==2.51.0 will do the trick. Be aware that my 2.50.0 will not work with Azure (it just hangs when running Bash shell scripts that query information from Azure), but after installing 2.51.0 everything works again. Major bug, and unreliable for infrastructure. I had to get the storage account keys manually out to feed into terraform to upgrade some AKS clusters (normally they are fetched from scripts into ENV variables, so only people with access can do this and they do not get into source).

Close as 2.52.0 is available in Homebrew.
