Errors

Issue script & Debug output

Hi @lcividinwork
Find similar issue #5060.

Issue title	curl not working in the azure-cli-python Docker image
Create time	2017-12-07
Comment number	4

Possible solution:
According to the previous issue, curl was not working in the azure-cli-python Docker image. The solution was to install curl on the base image (python alpine) which worked fine. In the previous issue, it was also mentioned that the issue was fixed in azuresdk/azure-cli-python:latest which was pushed a few hours ago. When the next release is made, that image will be tagged with version 2.0.23. Therefore, you can try pulling the latest image and installing curl with the command apk add curl --no-cache.

Please confirm if this resolves your issue.

no that is not a solution but a work around, which has been implemented to work around it but I believe it still should be in the image build. https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/release/alpine.dockerfile#L38

We remove it intentionally. See https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/pull/27567
