PowerShell auto-login not working on Linux

[aelij]

Which version of the AzCopy was used?

10.22.0

Which platform are you using?

Linux

What command did you run?

$env:AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE='PSCRED'
azcopy cp ...

What problem was encountered?

INFO: Scanning...

Failed to perform Auto-login: PSContextCredentialexec: "powershell": executable file not found in $PATH.

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

The problem is here:

azure-storage-azcopy/common/azure_ps_context_credential.go

Line 129 in f84cc60

cliCmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "powershell", cmd)

The executable for the cross-platform version of PowerShell is called pwsh. Even on Windows, I believe you should see if it exists and use it rather than the legacy Windows PowerShell 5.

Note this might also be the root cause for #2490.

I'm experiencing the same issue in MacOS (Version 14.0, ARM-based system):

PS> azcopy --version
azcopy version 10.22.1
PS> Write-Output $env:AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE
PSCRED
PS> azcopy copy ./file "https://storageaccount.file.core.windows.net/fileshare/file"

Same issue. It's trying to find windows powershell instead of pwsh
