Error: Error building AzureRM Client: Azure CLI Authorization Profile was not found. Please ensure the Azure CLI is installed and then log-in with `az login`.

I am getting the bellow error when running terraform plan. Did anyone face the same issue ? I am able to login using az login as well.

I am using WSL**, and I have installed azure cli from MS docs. Bellow is my az -version for reference.

az --version azure-cli 2.6.0 *

command-modules-nspkg 2.0.3 core 2.6.0 * nspkg 3.0.4 telemetry 1.0.4

Had the same issue, however it was happening at terraform init stage and deleting the .azure folder didn’t help. What was happening on my end was that although I was able to do az login in WSL, the .azure folder was being saved under the Windows user path instead. What worked for me was to copy the .azure folder in Windows to my WSL user directory and terraform init worked again. Thanks @magodo for the pointer

This is because you are calling az installed on Windows, instead of the one installed on WSL. You may follow Install the Azure CLI on Linux to install on Ubuntu.
