Got the same issue. Every --output xxx seems to always end up as json format.

@mingqxu7 @ecker00 This is a known issue #20269 due to a serious regression in Python 3.9.8.
Could you use other versions of Python to execute CLI commands?

[jiasli]

@zhoxing-ms is right, this is due to a Python 3.9.8 regression (#20269).

I don't think it is easy to install old/specific versions of Python (like 3.9.7) on MacOS with brew (Homebrew/discussions#155). We are working with brew team to release Azure CLI on Python 3.10 as soon as possible which is not affected (Homebrew/homebrew-core#86758).

For now, you may manually install Python 3.10 and install azure-cli with

brew install python@3.10
pip install azure-cli
