Inconsistent Command Behavior
automationActiveStableThe inconsistency in command behavior between versions leads to confusion and potential errors in automation scripts.
Score Breakdown
Heuristic ranking from public discussion signals — not a validated prediction of commercial opportunity, demand, or willingness to pay.
Composite 68/100 (High, unvalidated). Top driver: Willingness to pay (30% weight, 22.5 pts).
Heuristic only — often urgency map or random scaffolding on ingest, not measured mention frequency. Maps to XPS relevance (with market size).
LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).
LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).
Catalog notes (not predictive analysis)
Inconsistent Command Behavior (automation). Catalog heuristic opportunity score: 68/100 — a chosen formula over discussion-signal facets, not evidence of demand, conversion, or willingness to pay. Treat as browsing rank, not a commercial prediction.

“az storage blob sync requires 'az login' when using --sas-token ### Describe the bug In e.g. 2.72 this works fine: az storage blob sync -c doc --account-name ACCOUNT_NAME --sas-token "$STORAGE_ACCOUNT_SAS" -s "doc" --destination "bla/blubb" Since 2.77 this seems broken with: cli.azure.cli.core.azclierror: Please run 'az login' to setup account. az_command_data_logger: Please run 'az login' to setup account. I think its related to #32048 and was probablly fixed for using `--account-key`. Using `--sas-token` still doesn't work. ### Related command az storage blob sync -c doc --account-name ACCOUNT_NAME --sas-token "$STORAGE_ACCOUNT_SAS" -s "doc" --destination "bla/blubb" ### Errors cli.azure.cli.core.azclierror: Please run 'az login' to setup account. az_command_data_logger: Please run 'az login' to setup account. ### Issue script & Debug output cli.knack.cli: Command arguments: ['storage', 'blob', 'sync', '--debug', '-c', 'doc', '--account-name', 'SKIPPED', '--sas-token', '?sp=racwdli&st=2025-10-20T06:50:25Z&se=2025-10-20T15:05:25Z&spr=https&sv=2024-11-04&sr=c&sig=SKIPPED', '-s', 'doc', '--destination', 'nl_deployment_task/1.3.0/', '--service-endpoint', 'SKIPPED'] cli.knack.cli: __init__ debug log: Enable color in terminal. cli.knack.cli: Event: Cli.PreExecute [] cli.knack.cli: Event: CommandParser.OnGlobalArgumentsCreate [<function CLILogging.on_global_arguments at 0x70dd6fa46520>, <function OutputProducer.on_global_arguments at 0x70dd6f7fb9c0>, <function CLIQuery.on_global_arguments at 0x70dd6f82de40>] cli.knack.cli: Event: CommandInvoker.OnPreCommandTableCreate [] cli.azure.cli.core: Command index version or cloud profile is invalid or doesn't match the current command. cli.azure.cli.core._session: Skipping update of file /nix/store/0k0zbk6bj6s8fmh8yvpi2q84avhrr8kp-python3.13-azure-cli-2.78.0/etc/azure/commandIndex.json due to immutable directory. cli.azure.cli.core._session: Skipping update of file /nix/store/0k0zbk6bj6s8fmh8yvpi2q84avhrr8kp-python3.13-azure-cli-2.78.0/etc/azure/commandIndex.json due to immutable directory. cli.azure.cli.core._session: Skipping update of file /nix/store/0k0zbk6bj6s8fmh8yvpi2q84avhrr8kp-python3.13-azure-cli-2.78.0/etc/azure/commandIndex.json due to immutable directory. cli.azure.cli.core: Command index has been invalidated. cli.azure.cli.core: No module found from index for '['storage', 'blob', 'sync', '--debug', '-c', 'doc', '--account-name', 'SKIPPED', '--sas-token', '?sp=racwdli&st=2025-10-20T06:50:25Z&se=2025-10-20T15:05:25Z&spr=https&sv=2024-11-04&sr=c&sig=SKIPPED', '-s', 'doc', '--destination', 'nl_deployment_task/1.3.0/', '--service-endpoint', 'SKIPPED']' cli.azure.cli.core: Loading all modules and extensions cli.azure.cli.core: Discovered command modules: ['acr', 'acs', 'advisor', 'ams', 'apim', 'appconfig', 'appservice', 'aro', 'backup', 'batch', 'batchai', 'billing', 'botservice', 'cdn', 'cloud', 'cognitiveservices', 'compute_recommender', 'computefleet', 'config', 'configure', 'consumption', 'container', 'containerapp', 'cosmosdb', 'databoxedge', 'dls', 'dms', 'eventgrid', 'eventhubs', 'extension', 'feedback', 'find', 'hdinsight', 'identity', 'interactive', 'iot', 'keyvault', 'lab', 'managedservices', 'maps', 'marketplaceordering', 'monitor', 'mysql', 'netappfiles', 'network', 'policyinsights', 'privatedns', 'profile', 'rdbms', 'redis', 'relay', 'resource', 'role', 'search', 'security', 'servicebus', 'serviceconnector', 'servicefabric', 'signalr', 'sql', 'sqlvm', 'storage', 'synapse', 'util', 'vm'] cli.azure.cli.core: Loading command modules: cli.azure.cli.core: Name Load Time Groups Commands cli.azure.cli.core: acr 0.110 36 149 cli.azure.cli.core: acs 0.079 17 88 cli.azure.cli.core: advisor 0.001 3 6 cli.azure.cli.core: ams 0.003 22 100 cli.azure.cli.core: apim 0.003 14”
