@novaturient95 Thx for the feedback, what environment properties do you expect to see in the environment list?

[novaturient95]

@luigiw I was thinking to use env list operation to find out versions registered and their respective assetID's. Name and version are there but remaining information are missing as of you can see in the snippet, I've shared in the bug description. Also there is a confirmation from vizhur that service is sending correct response, but CLI is not parsing it correctly.

@novaturient95 @luigiw It's a bug on client side. I've created a repair item to track this issue.

[novaturient95]

there are couple of more behaviours which needs address:

1. List operation in case of environment raises exception if env version does not exist. This is not the case with model or component.
2. There is a difference in behavior in list vs show. List does not list env such as Azureml-AutoML which is a curated env used for AutoML execution specifically. But show list details of this curated env. Is this intentional or some bug that needs fixing?

@novaturient95

1. seems correct, it won't throw id environment exist but does not have types listed for list(), like archived, deleted or anonymous
2. by design, automl environment is marked as system by the asset owner, hence excluded from index/list

@novaturient95 Thanks for your feedback. We validated that the command only returns name and version is by designed. We've created an work item to track your feedback and will address it soon.
