TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

When running az keyvault set-policy --name $kv_name --resource-group $rg_name --secret-permissions set get list delete I receive the following error. The word “subscriptable” is not in the Merriam Webster dictionary. What does this error code refer to?

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

FYI: subscriptable is a Python term: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/216972/what-does-it-mean-if-a-python-object-is-subscriptable-or-not . It’s not in the Merriam Webster dictionary. 😄

@SeaDude I believe this product is nearly abadoned… because the last commit was Apr 2019, and tons of issues do not have been assigned and resolved. Anyway, I will create a new issue to let them know the outdated cli things. Thanks!
