sfctl conflicts with recent azure-cli

[wminos]

[Info]

• sfctl version: 4.0.0
• azure cli version: 2.0.27
• service fabric hosting location: azure

[Reason]

two recent cli uses incompatible knack library of different version.
current sfctl cli uses knack@0.1.1
current az cli uses knack@0.3.1

[Error]

PS C:\Users\me> pip install sfctl
PS C:\Users\me> pip install azure-cli

[My solution]

PS> pip check
sfctl 4.0.0 has requirement knack==0.1.1, but you have knack 0.3.1.

PS> pip uninstall knack
PS> pip install knack==0.1.1

sfctl okay.
but azure-cli error occurs.

PS> az
init() got multiple values for argument 'ctx'

@wminos as a workaround you can run either azure CLI or sfctl from a virtual environment, please take a look at the virtualenv package.

[wminos]

I am using virtualenv. Thank you.

[samedder]

@wminos I created an issue from this, #73, to make sure in the future we do upgrade the knack package.

[ryankmcintyre]

I ran into this and created a container that loads from azure-cli and then installs tmux and uses a virtualenv to load sfctl in a separate environment loaded in a tmux pane. Now my left pane runs az and the right pane runs sfctl. In case someone else finds it useful until the knack version is fixed: https://hub.docker.com/r/ryanmcintyre/sfctl/

[wminos]

@ryankmcintyre Very cool idea. However, I mainly develop under windows environment and do not use tmux. But it would be useful in a WSL environment.

[ryankmcintyre]

It could be run in Docker for Windows after switching it to Linux containers (doesn't require WSL), but I get your point.
