[BUG] Connect-PnPOnline HttpClient.Timeout error

[Ron-Rohlfs]

Notice

Many bugs reported are actually related to the PnP Framework which is used behind the scenes. Consider carefully where to report an issue:

1. Are you using Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate or Get-PnPSiteTemplate? The issue is most likely related to the Provisioning Engine. The Provisioning engine is not located in the PowerShell repo. Please report the issue here: https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues.
2. Is the issue related to the cmdlet itself, its parameters, the syntax, or do you suspect it is the code of the cmdlet that is causing the issue? Then please continue reporting the issue in this repo.
3. If you think that the functionality might be related to the underlying libraries that the cmdlet is calling (We realize that might be difficult to determine), please first double check the code of the cmdlet, which can be found here: https://github.com/pnp/powershell/tree/master/src/Commands. If related to the cmdlet, continue reporting the issue here, otherwise report the issue at https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues

Hello All,

I also am encountering this issue running PnP PowerShell v2.4.0 (with PowerShell 7.2 for the Runbook) in an Azure RunBook to query PowerAutomate flows.

I tried the workaround of retrying mentioned here, but that still did not work. Below is the runtime output I get from the Runbook:

Is there (or anyone have an idea for) a workaround for this when using PowerShell via Azure Runbooks?

Thanks

Just an update on this for my scenario ... I thought it had something to do with my connection maybe, but I have confirmed that I successfully create a connection by echoing the URL for the current connection (after updating my connection code as shown:

$pnpConnection = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $trgtUrl -Credentials $MonitorCred -ErrorAction Stop -ReturnConnection
write-output Get-PnPConnection -Connection $PnpConnection
write-output "Connected ... Context URL: " $PnpConnection.Url

Seems the issue now is that I actually need the fix for the HTTPClient Timeout error mentioned here, but this not yet available via Azure Runbook modules.

I am also getting this issue...in Azure Automation Account is it resolved ?

See #4899 - hopefully allowing us to adjust the timeout from the default of 100 seconds will help
