Tonight I shall be dining in a bubble

@code Copilot told me I needed to add this to the settings.json file and now it can find it although it's still running pwsh 7.4.11 instead of 7.4.6 which is also in the settings.json file. "terminal.integrated.inheritEnv": true.

@code Adding to $env:PATH in the pwsh process doesn't work because I configure code to start a new pwsh process for every script run so it has a clean environment to work in.

Not such a quick fix - updated %PATH% and restarted @code but that Azure path I just added is still not in $env:PATH in the Terminal in code - WTAF?.

ok @code, you got me, or rather outside of VSCode, how is it getting the path to az(.cmd) into %PATH% (or $env:PATH as we say in PowerShell). Easy fix to update PATH but where is standalone Terminal getting PATH from ??🤷

What, I'm using a batch script? Don't tell @JacqBens he won't stop laughing 😀.Been a few years since I've put %~dp0 in a script but makes for great portability so you don't have to hard code paths.

Yes @code, the path does exist!! 😠

Something just broke on my laptop. It wouldn't come back to life having been away for a few of your Earth minutes so I undocked & opened the lid to a black screen but maybe 30s later the lockscreen wallpaper showed. It's now ok, back docked

In looking at an installer for my remote Windows management product back end that currently runs a Go server on Ubuntu, I've finally got my own use case for containers having seen every person & their cat harp on about them for years.😀.Have done bits of @Docker before but this.

Ok @lenovo where's the retry option or have you totally given up trying to update the dock? ☹️.Why does the info window say update not needed?🤷

It must've been a glitch in the algorithm/Matrix as very quickly my feed reverted to having mostly tech stuff in it. Seems there are plenty of tech folk left here - I've had 500+ likes on an Entra ID SID tweet whereas the same post has 10 likes on BSky although I've 8x fewer.

Hey #Copilot in case you hadn't noticed, you're running on Windows 11 outside of WSL, which I don't use anyway, so chmod ain't going to work now is it let alone trying to run a bash script? 🤦

Turns out it wasn't a permission issue but a logic flaw in the generated code because it was fetching the storage account to be deleted again when it was in the wrong subscription id. I spotted this myself so told it to store the subscription id on the 1st pass which is more.

And when running with -Whatif it didn't find any storage accounts because it was calling Set-AzContext to cycle through discovered subscriptions but with -Whatif it doesn't actually change context so keeps looking at 1st subscription found. Solution was to add -WhatIf:$false to

Just had my 1st near miss with a 100% vibe coded PowerShell script for identifying not recently used AZ storage accounts & to prompt to delete them except it didn't prompt but the user running the script didn't have permission so deletes failed. It's first attempt to prompt used
