az webapp config set WARNING: App settings have been redacted

[rLindorfer]

Describe the bug

Regression: This problem is caused when upgrading az cli from 2.53.0 to 2.53.1.

Description

When using set commands as described below, a warning message is produced which breaks our build pipelines with failOnStandardError set to true in combination with an error exit code.

Related commands

• az webapp config container set
• az webapp config appsettings set
• az webapp config set

Errors

WARNING: App settings have been redacted.

Issue script & Debug output

WARNING: cli.azure.cli.command_modules.appservice.custom: App settings have been redacted. Use az webapp/logicapp/functionapp config appsettings list to view.

Expected behavior

Configs should be set without any warnings, because it's the natural behavior of setting configs.

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

[g4mb10r]

Since this is regression, I suggest adding a test case for this.

[BeigeBadger]

I ran into this bug today, thanks for raising an issue @rLindorfer! Hopefully it's resolved soon.

[marrim-myob]

we ran into the same bug ,since the agents upgraded to new az cli version

[mheskandari]

we also have the same issue

[BeigeBadger]

An update to my comment above, I got this issue when using the az functionapp config appsettings set command.

[MaxMommersteeg]

Same issue here when running az functionapp config appsettings set.

[rLindorfer]

Yes, it's very easy to reproduce this issue, simply call az functionapp config appsettings set

Our current workaround is to switch back to az cli 2.53.0 with the following task:

- task: Bash@3
  displayName: "Install AZ CLI 2.53.0"
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      pip install azure-cli==2.53.0

[JonSmith-Work]

Still happening in Azure CLI 2.54.0

[jrunestone]

This issue is unfortunately breaking our pipelines as well.

[6heads]

This still exists in 2.55.0.

@yonzhan Any plans on fixing this?

[segunak]

This still exists in 2.55.0.

@yonzhan Any plans on fixing this?

+1. Any word on a fix for this? We're trying out use of --only-show-errors (details here) on all calls to az functionapp function keys set but ~it does not resolve this issue. The error is still thrown even with that flag~.

Update. Using the 64 bit version of Azure CLI 2.55.0 we're able to get past this issue adding the flag --only-show-errors to all az functionapp or az webapp commands.

[ErikMogensen]

The flag --only-show-errors also works for the 32-bit version of Azure CLI 2.55.0 for those commands.

[rLindorfer]

This means, the only solution is to use the --only-show-errors flag?

[rLindorfer]

What if we do not want to use the --only-show-errors flag?

[vishal-narayanan]

any one knows why it changes the value to false while deploying?

[mheskandari]

it happens also in az cli 2.62.0

[jakub-bochenski]

Is azure-cli no longer maintaned?

This warning is printed even with --output none

So you are warning me that you are now not printing the settings that I requested you not to print?

[zorbla]

Still happening with azure-cli 2.64.0. It's setting values, then prints warning and then it outputs json of the just changed settings with all values being "null" (which is wrong).

[sguidos]

Still happening with azure-cli version 2.65.0, in the Azure Web App Console

Try with --only-show-errors

az functionapp config appsettings list --name kaazingapp --resource-group myResourceGroup --only-show-errors -o json

I've created a PR to remove the message from the output. You no longer would need the additional parameters to hide the message. This should be deployed with the next CLI version coming out in early April.
