There seems to be an error with the way the Azure cloud shell handles the backup script in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/training/modules/script-with-powershell/5-exercise-parameters

In this lesson: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/training/modules/script-with-powershell/5-exercise-parameters, the backup script with parameters regular exits with the error message "curl: (3) unmatched close brace/bracket in URL position 38: ./webapp", "pwd": "/home/harlandski" }

However, when I run the script on my local machine, it works fine. This and the reference to curl makes me think there is something wrong with the way that the Azure Cloud Shell is handling things.

Hi James Harland,

Based on my understanding of the issue, you're practicing the following Learning Path exercise.

Learning Path: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/powershell/
Module: Introduction to scripting in PowerShell
Unit 5 of 11:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/training/modules/script-with-powershell/5-exercise-parameters

Hi James Harland,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum.

It seems like there might be a misunderstanding in the Azure Cloud Shell environment. The error message mentioning "curl" is quite unusual for a PowerShell script, as PowerShell doesn't use curl by default. This suggests there might be interference or a mix-up with commands variables.

One possibility is that there might be a script or command alias set up in the Azure Cloud Shell environment that redirects a PowerShell command to curl, resulting in this error. Double-checking any custom configurations in the Azure Cloud Shell environment could help identify and resolve the issue.

Additionally, ensuring that the PowerShell version and environment settings in Azure Cloud Shell match those on your local machine could also be beneficial.
