az lab vm delete command not working azure pipelines

[ianoflynnautomation]

Describe the bug

We provision VM's in DevTestLabs for testing purposes and delete the VM's once tests are ran.

Recently the command 'az lab vm delete' is not working when ran from an azure pipelines task. This seems to be an issue when using AzureCLI@2 task and also, we tried running from a PowerShell task which resulted in same error.

However, when we run the command from a cloud shell in portal it works fine.

This was working fine for the past year. Only the last month we are seeing this issue.

Errors

When I add the --yes -y flag the VM's get the deleted but the error is still thrown.
Without --yes -y the VM's are NOT deleted.

when running to following:

az lab vm delete ` 
--name $($vmName) `
--resource-group $(DevTestLabs.ResourceGroupName) `
--lab-name $(DevTestLabs.LabName) `
 --yes -y `
 --debug

##[error]Delete VM failed: DEBUG: cli.knack.cli: Command arguments: ['lab', 'vm', 'delete', '--name', 'vm1', '--resource-group', 'rg-devtestlabs', '--lab-name', 'DevTestLab', '--yes', '-y', '--debug']

Hi @ianoflynnautomation,

2.66.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.67.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
