Troubleshooting Pipe Character Issues in Azure CLI on Windows PowerShell

Creating web applications in Azure can be a straightforward task when using the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI). However, you might encounter some issues while trying to specify certain parameters, especially when it comes to using special characters such as the pipe (|). If you’re trying to create an Azure web app and faced the frustrating error message related to the pipe character, you’ve come to the right place!

In this guide, we will explore the problem and provide a detailed solution to help you successfully create your Azure web app without running into further issues.

Understanding the Problem

While creating an Azure web app, you might run a command in PowerShell similar to this one:

When you run this command, you may receive an error like this:

This error typically occurs because the pipe character (|) is a special character in PowerShell, and it is interpreted differently than intended. Hence, the az command does not recognize the runtime string as a valid input.

Solution: How to Properly Escape the Pipe Character

To resolve this issue, you simply need to correctly format your command to ensure that PowerShell interprets the pipe character properly. Here’s how you can do that:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Use Single Quotes: Enclose the runtime argument within single quotes (').

Include Double Quotes: Inside of the single quotes, use double quotes for the runtime string. This helps PowerShell to treat it as a single argument.

Here's an example of how your modified command should look:

Breakdown of the Command

Let’s break down the components of the corrected command for better understanding:

az webapp create: This is the core command for creating a web app in Azure.

--name somename: Replace somename with your desired web app name.

-g grop: This specifies the resource group. Ensure that your resource group name is correct.

--plan plan: Replace plan with your appropriate plan name that the web app should be tied to.

--runtime='"DOTNETCORE|3.1"': Using this format allows PowerShell to correctly interpret the DOTNETCORE|3.1 as a single argument, including the pipe character.

Conclusion

By following the steps outlined above, you should now be able to create your Azure web app without encountering the error related to the pipe character. Remember that when using special characters in PowerShell, it’s essential to use proper quotes to ensure that your command is interpreted correctly.
