To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior. Note that argument values have been redacted, as they may contain sensitive information.

• install Azure CLI 2.46.0
• az bicep install --version {}

Expected Behavior

No error if configuration is not set.

Environment Summary

Windows-10-10.0.17763-SP0
Python 3.10.10
Installer: MSI

azure-cli 2.46.0

Additional Context

This error also happens when running an az deployment command passing a bicep file. It seems that the code is not resilient if no configuration for bicep is specified in the config file.

Thank you for your feedback. This has been routed to the support team for assistance.

I can confirm that I receive this same error when running inside an aarch64 devcontainer. I've been installing azure cli via python since apt apparently only supports the x86 architecture.

Here are my specs:

I have the same problem, the installation works when I set:
az config set bicep.use_binary_from_path=False.
The problem occurs since version 2.46.0.
