Hi! I started with the tutorial https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/azure/deploy-stack/ but I'm stuck. Somehow it can't retrieve the Azure CLI version? See output:

Previewing update (dev)

View in Browser (Ctrl+O): <https://app.pulumi.com/xxxx>

Diagnostics:

    error: could not determine az version: unmarshaling the result of Azure CLI: invalid character 'a' looking for beginning of value

I'm running Azure CLI 2.47.0.

hi @thankful-father-64418 have you authorized access to the azure cli? more deets here in case its helpful https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/installation-configuration/#authenticate-using-the-cli

hi @brainy-church-78120. Yes I did. I double checked a couple of times. I also reinstalled Pulumi, but still getting the same error. When I run

az version

myself I get the following output:

azure-cli: 2.47.0
azure-cli-core: 2.47.0
azure-cli-telemetry: 1.0.8
extensions:
  application-insights: 0.1.19
  logic: 0.1.6

When I run with verbose it gives the following output:

Are you running on Windows? If so, could you try running

pulumi

as an administrator and see if that helps?

I'm indeed on Windows. Under administrator it also doesn't work. I reinstalled pulumi a couple of times without any effect. Even an older version.

Can you file an issue in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi?

@salmon-account-74572 done! https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12654

Thank you!
