cape@hostname:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.10.12
cape@hostname:~$ env | grep "SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<redacted value>

The environment variable exists and is correctly set.

To view spots where the error occurs, run journalctl -u for either cape.service, cape-web.service, or cape-processor.service.

az worker is community based, so you need to wait till community who has AZ fixes it or you can check how to fix it

[ChrisThibodeaux]

@doomedraven Thank you for the reply. I will be looking into potential fixes until someone with more knowledge comes along.

I have entered a python shell in /opt/CAPEv2 as cape user on the host machine and followed the code flow as it would execute in a running system. Oddly, it works perfectly fine. Not sure what the real issue is here.

Found a work-around until a fix is in place. I used replace, similar to the linux command sed, in my ansible to place in the Azure subscription_id, client_id, secret, and tenant. I keep those values in my ansible vault. If you are using anisble and pushing this to a repo, be sure to use no_log: true somewhere in the task.

Hi @ChrisThibodeaux, can you confirm if this is something only happening for this environment variable (namely subscription_id) you did face this for others as well ? Also could you give the full trace for the error in question ?

[ChrisThibodeaux]

@cccs-mog I will try that for each env var In az.conf and report back. I'll also include the fullest trace I can for the issue.
