AzureAuth error when called from a VSCode extension

[charlesanim]

I'm working on a VSCode extension that users can use to generate PAT for their dev environment by calling

import { exec } from 'child_process';

exec( azureauth ado pat --organization someorg --display-name patName --scope vso.packaging_write --prompt-hint none`)

and I keep getting this error below

Failed to generate PAT: Error: 2024-09-16 22:27:59.6371 | ERROR | logger: Microsoft.Office.Lasso.LassoMcMaster | One or more errors occurred. (Read-only file system : '/.IdentityService') 2024-09-16 22:27:59.6396 | ERROR | logger: Microsoft.Office.Lasso.LassoMcMaster | An unexpected error ocurred. Re-run with --verbosity=debug for more info.

Any ideas here? Is it possible to call AzureAuth in a VSCode extension? How would one approach this?

/.IdentityService looks suspiciously like there is a missing directory path between / and .IdentityService - resulting in the cache trying to go into / - which is read-only.
