Learn sandbox does not load even after setting up sandbox in Microsoft azure.

Question

Learn sandbox does not load even after setting up sandbox in Microsoft azure.

Victorius Meras 25

As the title suggests, I am having trouble launching the Learn sandbox even after setting up my azure account. I can change my directory to the Learn sandbox in the Azure portal menu settings, but every time I am prompted to sign in during the Microsoft Learn module it just throws the same error screen of: "Sign in with your account. If your account doesn't have a registered Learn profile, this process will complete that for you.".

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Hi Victorius,

Please give my instructions below a try and let me know your results. I've given them to many people and they were successful, however, a small percentage of people I needed to help them a bit more.

You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing/accept permissions, etc.) and then once you see the sign-in box appear on the right open a new browser tab. In this new tab, browse to https://shell.azure.com. If your existing sandbox hasn't expired you can use that instead of activating a new one.

When prompted, click Bash (The exercise uses PowerShell and Bash. You can switch between them using button at top of cloud shell window)

Next choose No storage account required, for Subscription select Concierge Subscription, and click Apply.

After several seconds delay while a cloud shell is requested and connected to, you should see $ prompt. At this point you can complete the exercises instructions, copy/paste code from exercise tab to cloud shell tab as needed, etc.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.

Is the expectation that I run the bash commands in a separate tab from the Microsoft Learn? I still get the same request to sing into my Microsoft account. I follow the steps you listed and was able to get access to the CLI.

Yes, run the Bash and PowerShell (for these you need to click button above cloud shell to switch to PowerShell) in the separate tab. In other exercises you will do tasks using Azure portal, and naturally these can be done in another separate tab.

When working properly, you would be able to run the commands in the right half of the split window, but it's broken, so I came up with workaround whereby you use separate tab.

Microsoft is aware of the issue but hasn't given estimate as to when it will be fixed.
