Is it regression?

No

Expected behavior

could we downgrade the azcopy to 10.21.2 version which the pipeline was successfully run. https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/ubuntu20/20240122.3/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2004-Readme.md AzCopy 10.21.2 - available by azcopy and azcopy10 aliases

Actual behavior

az storage fs directory upload will call azcopy azcopy could not upload the folder with name "#" to ADLS gen2

Repro steps

installed the lastest az-cli and azcopy 10.22.2, use az storage fs directory upload to upload some folder with "#"

Having the same sort of problem although with az storage copy

Hey @leoliudan and @BartDecker! We'll think about adding the old version back. I can’t promise that this will work for us - perhaps the latest changes contained critical security updates.

[shunkino]

Workaround for the issue is to download old version of AzCopy and place it inside agent. However, this will also undo the security update, so watch out for the security risks. Sample Yaml for AzureCLI task:

- task: AzureCLI@2
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: '<Your SC>'
    scriptType: 'bash'
    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
    inlineScript: |
      mkdir -p $AZURE_CONFIG_DIR/bin/
      wget -c https://azcopyvnext.azureedge.net/releases/release-10.21.2-20231106/azcopy_linux_amd64_10.21.2.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C $AZURE_CONFIG_DIR/bin/ --wildcards "azcopy_linux_amd64*/azcopy" --strip-components=1
      az storage fs directory upload -f <folder> --account-name <your storage account name> --recursive
