When trying to run terraform locally with azurerm provider on my machine, I receive this error :
Error: Error building account: Error getting authenticated object ID: Error parsing json result from the Azure CLI: Error waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1
I followed this link : https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/3686#issuecomment-523983734
but the az account get-access-token works.
Any ideas?
Since my organization is using a self-signed certificate to control internet traffic, the az cli is not working as usual. To diagnose, you should run this command :
az ad signed-in-user show
It will show you a very clear message to workaround this issue.

I exported the CA certificate from any website from Chrome in Base64 and copied the string in the pem file as indicated in the previous link. It worked!
On Windows :
Append the certificate in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\Lib\site-packages\certifi\cacert.pem
Hope this helps someone!
I had this but the az ad signed-in-user show worked and the Azure CLI was up-to-date.
Terraform uses the command-line under-the-hood, but my terminal had additional lines injected in at the start (versioning, aliases/doskey), which is the bit that terraform was complaining about, rather than the Azure CLI. So I turned that off and it started working.
