Expected Behaviour

When I run the terraform plan, it should be able to use my personal account that I have logged in using az login, not the client I used before

Actual Behaviour

Not able to run the terraform plan and I'm getting the error above

Steps to Reproduce

1. az account clear
2. az login
3. re-open the VS Code or Terminal that is pointed to the TF configs
4. terraform plan

Important Factoids

No

References

No

@micro9000 Couple of things:

1. what version of az cli are you using?
2. Have you tried doing a terraform init before doing a terraform plan?

Also remember that starting since version 4.0 Specifying Subscription ID is now Mandatory

Hi @Chambras

1. I'm currently using az cli v2.64.0
2. Yes, I already run the terraform init
