Exception raised when executing any Azure CLI command after upgrading to version 2.57.

Describe the bug

After upgrading to Azure CLI, version 2.57, when executing any command, I receive the following error message:

Suppress exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/az/lib/python3.11/site-packages/azure/cli/main.py", line 62, in
raise ex
File "/opt/az/lib/python3.11/site-packages/azure/cli/main.py", line 55, in
sys.exit(exit_code)
SystemExit: 0

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/az/lib/python3.11/site-packages/azure/cli/core/decorators.py", line 79, in _wrapped_func
return func(*args, **kwargs)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/opt/az/lib/python3.11/site-packages/azure/cli/core/telemetry.py", line 532, in _get_secrets_warning_config
show_secrets_warning = _get_config().getboolean('clients', 'show_secrets_warning', fallback=None)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/opt/az/lib/python3.11/site-packages/knack/config.py", line 147, in getboolean
raise ValueError('Not a boolean: {}'.format(val))
ValueError: Not a boolean: None

Commands seem to execute successfully (I could list/deallocate/start virtual machines, manage virtual networks, etc.). The issue occurs on different platforms: I tested on Ubuntu Linux server ver.22.04, Mac OS Sonoma (on Apple Silicon), WSL on Windows Server 2022 Enterprise Azure Edition, command window on Windows Server 2022 Enterprise Azure Edition).

Related command

Examples:

az vm list --subscription SUB-DEVANDTEST --verbose -o table
az network vnet subnet list --subscription SUB-DEVANDTEST --verbose -o table -g RG_BAGVIRTUALNETWORKS --vnet-name BAGVIRTUALNETWORK

The issue appears with almost every Azure CLI command.

Issue script & Debug output

Output with --debug option is much too long to enter in here - can be shared in a separate e-mail message if required.

Expected behavior

Expecting Azure CLI statements to execute successfully without raising an exception.

Please run az config set clients.show_secrets_warning=False as a workaround. For more details, see hardening-your-defense-in-depth-with-secrets-awareness-in-azure

I'll look into this issue ASAP! Thanks for reporting!

Hi @ptsapralis, This is a exception trace of suppressed exception. Your CLI command won't be affected and will successfully return as expected.

This is a small issue on collecting telemetry and we will fix in next version

Hi Yishi - thank you very much for these replies. The “az config” work-around works fine. Fixing this in the next versio of Azure CLI toolbox seems reasonable enough.
