NativeCommandError when calling m365 from PowerShell script

[MartinM85]

I have a simple ps script on my Windows machine with the command

m365 login --tenant xxx --appId xxx --secret xxx --authType secret

The command m365 login works fine but the output contains some error.

node.exe : - Running command...
At C:\Program Files\nodejs\m365.ps1:16 char:5
+     & "$basedir/node$exe"  "$basedir/node_modules/@pnp/cli-microsoft3 ...

{
  "connectedAs": "xxx",
  "authType": "Secret",
  "appId": "xxx",
  "appTenant": "xxx",
  "cloudType": "Public"
}

Is there any way to resolve/hide the error?

Hi @MartinM85 thanks for letting us know. Do you have any more information about the error?
@pnp/cli-for-microsoft-365-maintainers have any of you experienced this before?

[MartinM85]

It's happening when running the script from Windows PowerShell ISE. When the script is executed from Windows PowerShell terminal...no error.

I managed to reproduce this as well.
quite strange behavior since in terminal using windows powershell it works ok

Can you compare if the PowerShell versions used in ISE and terminal are the same?

[MartinM85]

Can the issue be related to the animation that's running when the command is executed?

Maybe it's not supported by console pane in ISE.

Now that you mention it, that will probably be it @MartinM85! Have you tried running a command with --output none, or disable the spinner by using cli config set --key showSpinner --value false?

[Adam-it]

yep, disabling the spinner does the trick

[MartinM85]

Same for me. Thanks guys for help

@milanholemans great idea 👏 Let's create an issue to add this to the FAQ in our docs in case someone else runs into it
