az CLI stuck in extension installation loop #17696
Description
az feedbackauto-generates most of the information requested below, as of CLI version 2.0.62
Describe the bug
Typing the following command puts the CLI in continuous loop:
az account -s "<SUB-ID>"
I understand this is invalid command but it seems it spins off multiple processes in a recursion.
To Reproduce
In an Ubuntu 20.04 Terminal (WSL) type the above command with a valid subscription id.
Expected behavior
Ideally replying with invalid command error. Or installs the extension and exits
