Running `az policy assignment list` gives an `IndexError`

[Hoid]

Describe the bug

When running the following command

az policy assignment list --scope <resource-group>

I get the following output

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/azure-cli/2.88.0/libexec/lib/python3.14/site-packages/azure/mgmt/resource/deploymentstacks/models/_models.py:119: SyntaxWarning: "\/" is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences will not work in the future. Did you mean "\\/"? A raw string is also an option.

This is on the latest version of azure-cli on Homebrew (2.88.0). I previously ran this command on 2.83.0 and got the same error, except without this part

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/azure-cli/2.88.0/libexec/lib/python3.14/site-packages/azure/mgmt/resource/deploymentstacks/models/_models.py:119: SyntaxWarning: "\/" is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences will not work in the future. Did you mean "\\/"? A raw string is also an option.
  following actions are automatically appended to 'excludedActions': '*\/read' and

Once I tried upgrading to 2.88.0 I started seeing it, which makes me think it's not related to the error and might just be another weird issue introduced in recent versions.

Related command

az policy assignment list --scope <resource-group>

is a resource-group-level scope such as
/subscriptions/<sub>/resourceGroups/<rg>, scope_parts only has 5 elements
(after removing the leading empty string from the split, indices 0-3), so
scope_parts[1] is safe there, but other shorter/malformed scope strings (or a
scope missing the leading slash) can produce a scope_parts list with fewer
than 2 elements, causing scope_parts[1] to raise IndexError instead of a
clear CLIError.

Fix: guard the length check before indexing, e.g. verify
len(scope_parts) > 1 (and ideally validate the overall scope format) before
accessing scope_parts[1], and raise a user-friendly InvalidArgumentValueError
for malformed scopes instead of letting an IndexError propagate.

Repro (from the issue, azure-cli 2.88.0):

az policy assignment list --scope <resource-group>

Full traceback in the issue shows the failure originates in
ResolveScopeForList inside azure/cli/command_modules/resource/policy.py.

Use this EXACT PR title: [Resource] Fix #33786: az policy assignment list --scope : fix IndexError in ResolveScopeForList when scope has fewer than 5 segments

PR title & description format (required)

This repo enforces a PR format (guide). Please author the PR exactly as follows or CI's Check the Format of Pull Request Title and Content will fail.

Use this EXACT PR title (copy verbatim, do not reword):

[Resource] Fix #33786: `az policy assignment list --scope <resource-group>`: fix IndexError in ResolveScopeForList when scope has fewer than 5 segments

Keep the backticks around the command and the Fix #33786: prefix. You may only adjust the wording after the command (the final summary) if the fix changes; the [Resource] prefix, issue link, and backticked command must stay.

Description — follow the PR template and fill in:

• Link the issue — start the Description with a closing keyword so the PR auto-links and closes it: Fixes #33786.
• Related command — the az ... command this affects.
• Description (mandatory) — why the bug happens, what you changed, and the resulting behavior.
• Testing Guide — example command(s) showing the fix works.
• History Notes — leave the title to drive the history note, or add extra lines in the same format (component in brackets + the command in backticks), e.g. [Resource] `az <command>`: <note>.
• Keep the template checklist and tick the items you've satisfied.
