Almost all "az" commands fail with an unexpected error after upgrading to version "2.59.0".

[ptsapralis]

Describe the bug

After upgrading to the latest available version, "2.59.0", almost all "az" commands fail returning the following error. Happening on Mac OS Sonoma, ver.14.4.1. Commands "az -h" & "az feedback" seem to work as expected. Issue was not fixed after un-installing / re-installing. As far as I could test, all commands seem to work as expected on Ubuntu Linux, version "22.04".

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
Not a boolean: Falseping

Hi @ptsapralis
Find similar issue #28312.

Issue title	Exception raised when executing any Azure CLI command after upgrading to version 2.57.
Create time	2024-02-06
Comment number	0

Possible solution:
As a workaround, you can run az config set clients.show_secrets_warning=False. According to the existing issue, this is a small issue on collecting telemetry and it won't affect your CLI command, which should successfully return as expected. The Azure CLI team is aware of this issue and will fix it in the next version.

Please confirm if this resolves your issue.
