Azure CLI not recognizing arguments

Trying to run the following command in a Powershell script:

    $statblob = az storage blob exists --container-name "dev-tfstate" --name "mh/fw-mh-$varenv-__region__-__suffix__.tfstate" --account-key $blobkey --account-name "fwdevstate767442" --subscription $mgtsub | ConvertFrom-Json

And I get the following error:

ERROR: the following arguments are required: --container-name/-c, --name/-n

I was getting the same error with the --account-name argument until I removed the variable and hard coded the name into the script instead. The values are valid, it just doesn't seem to recognize that the arguments are there?

Edit: I changed the arguments to their aliases of -c and -n, and now I get the error on the account-name argument.

ERROR: unrecognized arguments: account-name fwdevstate767442

Finally found a fix. Had to do with variables not being interpreted right for some reason. Setting them as environment variables within the function solved it and the script ran fine afterward.

We tried this command without any errors, the problem might be that you run this Azure CLI command inside your Powershell script.

There are two solutions:

  1. Using Powershell command to check if the blob exists or not.

A solution is to wrap the call to Get-AzureStorageBlob in a try/catch and catch ResourceNotFoundException to determine that the blob doesn't exist.

  1. Change your whole scripts to Azure CLI command.
