Initializing Az Module - Error

extravio commented 8 months ago

Hi,

I have a self-hosted runner on RHEL 9 with:

powershell 7.2.16 (also tried 7.3)
the AZ module

and I get the following error when executing the azure/powershell action: Error: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

Run azure/powershell@v1
[...]

Module Az latest installed from hostedAgentFolder

            $data = Get-Module -Name Az -ListAvailable | Sort-Object Version -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
            $output['AzVersion'] = $data.Version.ToString()
            $output['Success'] = "true"
        ***

            $output['Error'] = $_.exception.Message

        return ConvertTo-Json $output
False

  "Error": "You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression."
***
Error: Error: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

I previously had the same configuration on Ubuntu and it was working fine.

Any ideas?

Hi @extravio, could you login to your self-hosted runner machine, open powershell, and run the following cmdlets?

$data = Get-Module -Name Az -ListAvailable | Sort-Object Version -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
Write-Host $data.Version.ToString()

Hi @YanaXu , Thanks for the quick reply. I made me realize that it was a problem with permissions. The user on my runner did not have access to the folder where the modules were installed. chmod -R 755 /usr/local/share/powershell/ fixed my issue

Azure / powershell
