Azure MLv2 CLI extension not recognized in DevOps

Question

Having some trouble with one of our DevOps pipelines. In the pipeline, we install the Azure MLv2 CLI extension and then use the extension to make a call to our AzureML workspace. The pipeline was working fine yesterday, but now results in an error saying that 'ml' is misspelled or not recognized. There is an additional message about a name import that might be causing the issue. Here is the full error message:

ERROR: 'ml' is misspelled or not recognized by the system.

Examples from AI knowledge base:
az extension add --name anextension
Add extension by name

az extension list-available

Answer 1

I'm facing the same issue in Azure DevOps. My last successful test was on Tuesday 5th July, but on Friday 8th this error appeared.

As it is not easy to change the installed version on Microsoft or self-hosted agents, an other workaround is to install the version 2.4.1 of the az ml extension in place of the latest one.

az extension add --name ml --version 2.4.1 --yes  

One more thing, on the Azure Machine Learning CLI (v2) release notes, the version 2.5.0 is not listed.

Answer 2

In case anyone else is having issues with this, rolling the CLI back to 2.36.0 seems to be working

Hi!
I have the same problem:
"Unable to load extension 'azure-cli-ml: cannot import name 'CaseInsensitiveEnumMeta''. Use --debug for more information.
'ml' is misspelled or not recognized by the system."

Versions:
azure-cli 2.22.1 *
core 2.22.1 *
telemetry 1.0.6

Extensions:
azure-cli-ml 1.41.0
ml 2.4.1

Did you find a solution? Should I downgrade to any other version? If yes - which one?

Thanks for help!
