sys.exit(3) prevents me from handling exception

[robbelouwet]

Describe the bug

Sys.exit(3) is called when a resource is not found, and since azure-cli is also a python pip package that can be used as an API in python programs, I can't handle this exception myself because the program just exits. I would recommend not doing the sys.exit(3) and allowing exception handling.

azure-cli/src/azure-cli-core/azure/cli/core/commands/arm.py

Line 431 in 610453d

sys.exit(3)

Related command

az container show

Errors

ERROR:cli.azure.cli.core.azclierror:(ResourceNotFound) The Resource 'Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/xxxxxxxx' under resource group 'xxxxxx' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix
Code: ResourceNotFound

Issue script & Debug output

ERROR:cli.azure.cli.core.azclierror:(ResourceNotFound) The Resource 'Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups/xxxxxxxx' under resource group 'xxxxxx' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix
Code: ResourceNotFound

The arm requests are not logged even in --debug mode, Maybe this is because of the systemexit()? I get the non-debug output as shown above, but no ARM requests. I'm sure about this because my program executes other az cli commands that all show ARM requests being logged, except for this call to az container show.

Expected behavior

Raising an exception

Hi @robbelouwet,

2.67.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.69.0).

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.
