Pip failed about azure-iot-cli-extension

[digimaun]

An update for everyone. The Az CLI team released a new Windows MSI (2.0.39) that should fix this pip issue out of the box. Tangentially we released a new IoT extension version (v0.5.0) with tons of goodness.

I recommend upgrading both the CLI and IoT extension to these versions.

Thank you for reporting the issue @jphellemons. We have been working with the Azure CLI team to determine the root cause. In short there is a problem with the pip packaged in the CLI Windows Installer - this is being worked on.

For now try this workaround (thanks @troydai):

1. Open CMD as Admin
2. Download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
3. Run ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\python’ -m pip uninstall pip setuptools
4. Run ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\python’ <path to the get-pip.py>

After this re-run:
az extension add --name azure-cli-iot-ext --debug

Thank you for your reply. I did get a success message. But also had some red lines:

Appreciate the logs. Does the IoT extension work for you now at this state even with the errors?

I'm having the same problem. The error seems related to a missing library/module:

After having reinstalled pip as @digimaun suggested, everything works, even if during pip install I also got some warnings about missing packages, and specifically:

Having the same issue. Happily, after @digimaun hints iot extension work properly. Thank you : )

[gunnalag]

I am facing the similar issue of Pip failed error. I am already running the latest version azure-cli-2.0.67 on my system.

C:\>az interactive

Am I supposed to run the same pip fix given in this thread?
