The azureauth executable which is supposed to be downloaded and installed via postinstall script for azureauth package is not installed correctly in wsl. So, seeing this error. Can this be fixed please?

This might be related to the bug I've fixed here: #15 which was causing the error thrown to be irrelevant.
Can we get some more details regarding the OS you're using? Is that MacOS? Linux? Windows?

[sivakumarmedidi]

This is happening in Windows Subsystem for Linux.

process.platform is being resolved as linux and the respective flows are commented out in scripts/install.js

  const DOWNLOAD_MAP = {
    win32: {
      x64: `azureauth-${AZUREAUTH_INFO.version}-win10-x64.zip`,
    },
    darwin: {
      x64: `azureauth-${AZUREAUTH_INFO.version}-osx-x64.tar.gz`,
      arm64: `azureauth-${AZUREAUTH_INFO.version}-osx-arm64.tar.gz`,
    },
    // TODO: support linux when the binaries are available
    // linux: {
    //   def: "azureauth.exe",
    //   x64: "azureauth-${AZUREAUTH_INFO.version}-win10-x64.zip",
    // },
  };

@jcreamer898, it would be great if you could help me with this. Thanks!

[Stuart-Wilcox]

Hey @sivakumarmedidi the issue is that the underlying library doesn't have a release for linux yet. On WSL, you can get away with using the Windows .exe, and I noticed this behaviour too.

Also confusingly there's two places that do basically the same thing of running underlying azureauth, so I'm going to try and consolidate this. Stay tuned for the fix for WSL

This is also happening when using pnpm exec ado-npm-auth instead of npm

It would be great if npm wasn't hard-coded in the npxAzureAuthCommand so I can have only one package manager being used for my project

I'm also seeing the "AzureAuth is not installed" error when running on WSL:

@Stuart-Wilcox , you mentioned "On WSL, you can get away with using the Windows .exe". Can you elaborate on how you got that working? I see a check that looks like it would handle this automatically in the line below, but I'm still seeing the error. Not sure if there's a step I need to run beforehand to ensure it's available here. I tried just installing azureauth in Windows but it didn't seem to have an effect.

ado-npm-auth/packages/ado-npm-auth/src/azureauth/azureauth-command.ts

Line 33 in 988cb61

memo = isWsl() ? ["azureauth.exe"] : npxAzureAuthCommand;

Ah, I was able to get the windows.exe workaround working by following the azureauth windows install instructions found here: https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#windows. Previously, I had just been using npm to install it in windows.
