az cmd "account clear" fails after "az storage blob upload-batch"

Question

I'm using the azure cli in my tfs release pipeline to upload the artifacts of the preceeding build pipeline to an azure blob storage.

The used script is like follows:

az storage blob upload-batch --account-key $(Storage.Key) --account-name $(Storage.AccountName) -d $(Storage.Container)/$(Storage.SubFolder) -s $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/myartefact/dist 

The file upload works fine. But after having finished it obviously tries to perform an account clear command which fails:

I don't know why this command is executed and I don't know why it fails. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can try running the Azure CLI task with the Fail on Standard Error option unchecked. This could be the script is writing some message to stderr stream .
