Recently, I used autorest to generate an Azure CLI extension. I wrote the following config.

az:
  extensions: cloud-service
  namespace: azure.mgmt.compute
  package-name: azure-mgmt-compute
az-output-folder: $(azure-cli-extension-folder)/src/cloudservice

I got

I spent lots of time debugging. Then I consulted author of autorest. I was told

python-sdk-output-folder: "$(az-output-folder)/azext_cloudservice/vendored_sdks/cloudservice"

is mandatory no matter whether I want to generate Python SDK. I appeal to give a meaningful error message that tells me python-sdk-output-folder is missing.
