@jiasli for awareness

One of the closed ticket #22231 had a comment that the issue is caused by mismatch between Azure SDK and CLI API [from @glaubitz]:

This issue is a typical example of the Azure SDK and the CLI API deviating from each other when one of the Azure SDK component packages have been updated.

I will refer to #19640 and #23933 to see if they fix the issue.

Tried out on my Windows machine but also fails:

Works fine when tried out from Azure Cloud Shell (Bash):

I haven't had a chance to go through my earlier comment yet tho.

We're encountering the same issue.

@k-byun, for your initial error:

AttributeError: 'RoleAssignmentsOperations' object has no attribute 'config'

Judging by the path /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, you are not using the official Azure CLI. Installing the official one should solve your issue. See #19640

As for No connection adapter were found for 'C:/Program File/Git..., this is an issue with Git Bash. See #16317 (comment)
