Running az purview does not install the extension as the documentation suggests

[neilmca-inc]

Describe the bug

The documentation suggests....

This reference is part of the purview extension for the Azure CLI (version 2.15.0 or higher). The extension will automatically install the first time you run an az purview command. Learn more about extensions.

This isn't true, not of version 2.50.0 which is higher than the specificed 2.15.0 above - needs revisiting

Hi @neilmca-inc,

2.50.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.54.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

You need run az purview -h to install the extension.

You need run az purview -h to install the extension.

Thanks - I can confirm this works

Docs need updating to this

In general, many pages of documentation for extensions say that the extension will install when you run a command but they don't specify that you must pass some argument to the command. See here for another example.

Personally I thought I was doing something wrong by running az network front-door and not getting an extension installation prompt. It would probably be bad to have the CLI make a network call every time the user tries an unknown extention, but having a list of known installable extensions and then showing them to the user when they attempt to use the extension would be a UX improvement.

Please don't close this issue, there is a UX problem here.

When a user runs az [group] [potential extension] with no arguments, they should get the same install prompt as if they ran az [group] [potential extension] -h.
