Hi @tyler-suard-parker
Find similar issue #19468.

Issue title	pip installs azure-cli 2.0.73 because of the dependency on deprecated jsmin
Create time	2021-09-07
Comment number	7

Possible solution:
The issue is caused by the dependency on deprecated jsmin. Azure CLI requires jsmin which requires use_2to3, so it doesn't work with the latest setuptools. The failure causes pip to install an older version of Azure CLI which is the last version that doesn't depend on jsmin.

There are two workarounds for this issue. The first one is to pin the version of setuptools until the issue is fixed. The second one is to install the hotfix 2.28.1 specifically on PyPI.

For the first workaround, you can run the following command to install the correct version of setuptools:

pip install setuptools==57.5.0

For the second workaround, you can run the following command to install the hotfix:

pip install azure-cli==2.28.1

After installing the hotfix, Azure CLI should install correctly.

Please confirm if this resolves your issue.

@azure-client-tools-bot-prd Here is the issue with that solution: if I downgrade my setuptools and my azure-cli version, then I will have to downgrade numerous other packages that the rest of my program depends on. Most of my other packages are new, within the last year, and so downgrading azure-cli to a version from 3 years ago does not make sense for me.

Based on the log Using cached azure_cli_core-2.28.0-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (1.7 kB), you are trying to install a 3-year-old version.

PS: The bot's second workaround also works.

@bebound I did not set the version, I just did pip install azure-cli. I tried both workarounds and neither one works. I am on Windows.

What's the content of requirements.txt?

[tyler-suard-parker]

@bebound here is my requirements.txt:

promptflow[azure]>=1.7.0
promptflow-tools
bs4
azure-cli
promptflow-tracing
promptflow-core

@bebound solution 2 worked but now I am getting version conflicts for cryptography: azure cli requires cryptography 3-4, while Promptflow requires cryptography 40. How can I solve this?

[bebound]

Dependency conflict is a common issue in Python. This is out of CLI's scope.
