`terraform import` doesn't support `runAzLogin: true` about azure-pipelines-tasks-terraform HOT 3 CLOSED

@dvasdekis, in order to use runAzLogin, you will need to specify a service connection via the environmentServiceName input in order for the azure cli to authenticate. The task uses the service connection's credentials to run az login. Without specifying the service connection, then it would have no means to authenticate against azure.
When doing this on your desktop, you have likely already logged into the az cli before running terraform import. Terraform will automatically pick the az cli context up to authenticate against azure.
If you cannot use a service connection, an alternative is to set the environment variables terraform expects for the azurerm provider. The task provides a means to more easily establish these via Secure Var Files. If you specify a secure var file via secureVarsFile input whose extension ends with .env it will export the vars set in the .env file as environment variables on the agent.

Thanks Charles! Setting the service connection worked a treat :)
