acr build with python sdk

[MatthiasCami8]

Related command az acr build

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently it's not possible (or I did not find an easy solution at least) to call the build image command within python code (with SDK). We want to do this for example in a running docker container.

Describe the solution you'd like A clean way of calling acr build with Python.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• I've tried using the [acr_build](https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/6928cee824b2dcbc95b66976cf992a6c9d76ffe5/src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/acr/build.py#L25C54-L25C54) python function that exists in the azure-cli. However, the first cmd argument is not documented, and I can't find what I should give as argument here (and if this is even a clean way of doing this).

Additional context We have a container app that is responsible of creating new images (based on incoming arguments) and pushing them to acr. So it needs to call az acr build somehow. This could be done via a bash script, but then you would have to do things such as az login..., which I've already tried, but is either not straight forward or not very clean (you also need a subprocess to call the script). Preferably, we would just call the acr-build python function, with as arguments:

• local Dockerfile
• container-registry
• image-name (and tag)

Thanks in advance!

@MatthiasCami8, did you find a workaround for this while waiting for this functionality in the Python SDK?

[terencet-dev]

Hi @MatthiasCami8 , apologies for the delay. Are you still experiencing this issue?
