Error while setting up Azure IoT Operations (az iot ops init)

[iitsDelbruegger]

Describe the bug

When following the quickstart instructions here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-operations/get-started/quickstart-deploy?tabs=linux

on a MicroK8s running on a MacBook Pro with M2 processor, we successfully connected the Kubernetes cluster with Azure Arc. However, we cannot initialize IoT Operations because we get an error message that the azure.identity python module is missing.

Related command

az iot ops init --cluster tim-cluster-test -g tim-rg-test --kv-id /subscriptions/*****/resourcegroups/tim-rg-test/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/tim-kv-test

Errors

The error I am getting:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.identity'

Command group 'iot ops' is in preview and under development. Reference and support levels: https://aka.ms/CLI_refstatus
The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
No module named 'azure.identity'

Well that issue might be related, if the current azure iot operations still assumes that the azure-identity module is provided by the azure cli. However, that issue was closed more than one year ago, so I would think that the problem should be fixed by now.

Hey @iitsDelbruegger - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Our extension does include azure-identity as a requirement, but it seems there's an issue that's surfacing through homebrew CLI installs causing the CLI's module directory (which includes other azure.* namespaced packages) to be checked first.

The command then fails to find our included azure-identity package that resides in the extension's modules directory ~/.azure/cliextension/azure-iot-ops which is causing the failure here.

We're working on our fix now and should have an updated release this week.

In the meantime, if you just need to continue testing without a production fix in place, you could install azure-identity into the CLI's modules directory by using:
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/azure-cli/2.55.0/libexec/bin/python -m pip install azure-identity

[c-ryan-k]

@iitsDelbruegger - we've released an updated extension v0.2.0b2 that should address this issue.

Could you please update your extension version with az extension update --name azure-iot-ops and see if this fixes your issue?
