argument --subscription/-s/--name/-n: expected one argument

I have Variables.ps1 where all the variables initialized:

$RG="bicepRG"
$Subscription="subscription_id"
$location="eastus"

Azure CLI commands are in the different file of the same path:

az login --only-show-errors -o table --query Dummy
az account set -s $Subscription

az login command works fine (prompt for login > success result). az account set -s $Subscription command giving me the error argument --subscription/-s/--name/-n: expected one argument

enter image description here

I'm at the same folder path (C:\Users\hasher\source\repos\bicep>) while running above Azure CLI Commands on Visual Studio Code.

I didn't find this error related solutions in the Search.

Solution

  • I tried to solve myself, its solved. Posting the resolution which would help the community if anyone face similar issue in the future:

    argument --subscription/-s/--name/-n: expected one argument

    I have been logged in to Azure Subscription using Azure CLI and it's been a long time so az account set command is unable to get the Subscription Id from the Variables.ps1 file.

    And Then I have initialized the Variables.ps1 in the Visual studio Code terminal and then ran the commands az login, az account set (as given in the Question) --> Logged-in and Set the Subscription context successfully.
