Major Regression: Many Commands Now Missing

[apeschel]

Describe the bug At least 2.0.46 and 2.0.45 are missing many sub-commands that existed in 2.0.42. It's not clear which version this regression occured in. This was noticed with the az aks commands specifically.

To Reproduce Run az aks on either v2.0.45 or 2.0.46, an error will return.

Run az help on v2.0.45 or 2.0.46 vs v2.0.42 to see a much shorter list of available sub-commands.

v2.0.46

az help | wc -l
      31

v2.0.42

az help | wc -l
      69

Expected behavior az aks sub-system responds.

Full list of sub-commands remains available.

Environment summary Install Method: Homebrew

Additional context I'm assuming this change was not intentional, since it is a major breaking change with only a bug-fix version bump, and no documentation to support it.

Please try running: brew uninstall azure-cli && brew install azure-cli

If it still fails, please provide the output of az --version

@tjprescott

Ran brew uninstall azure-cli && brew install azure-cli as requested. The problem still remains.

What output do you get with az aks -h?

[apeschel]

ERROR: az: 'aks' is not in the 'az' command group. See 'az --help'.

[apeschel]

@tjprescott I am on MacOS X High Sierra 10.13.6. I was able to confirm a coworker on High Sierra also has the same problem. However, a coworker on Mojave does not have this problem, so this may be specific to the High Sierra release.

[tjprescott]

My dev machine is also High Sierra 10.13.6 and I don't experience this, so there must be something else going on. While I can't repro your specific issue yet, I'm actively investigating #7559 so that might address some of the problem.

[apeschel]

Upgraded to Mojave and upgraded to the latest homebrew release and this continues to be a problem.

[tjprescott]

Please contact me at trpresco at microsoft.com and include the results of running az -h --debug

@tjprescott Hello, still haven't heard back on the email. This still continues to be a problem for the CLI toolset, unfortunately.

[tjprescott]

After more investigation, the issue was that, in version 2.0.43, many command modules that aren't supported on older profiles were updated so that they would not appear unless on profile 'latest'. After switching back to 'latest' the commands were present.
