Notice how the release pipeline does not show that I have the azure-devops extension installed. I need this extension to remotely trigger a pipeline release creation. I've tripled and quadrupled check that I am comparing the same server.
My next step would be to add a step to install the Azure CLI extension before calling the az pipelines. However I would rather try to figure out why this is not working. I have make this same call locally and it works fine. However I log in as myself instead of using a service principal/service subscription when testing same call locally.
Has anyone run into this issue and know whats going on here? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
