This PR adds a --no-wait option to the azd down command, which allows users to start the resource deletion process without waiting for it to complete. This is particularly useful for workflows that need to clean up multiple environments, as requested in the issue.

Changes

  • Added a noWait flag to the downFlags struct and bound it to the --no-wait command line option
  • Extended the DestroyOptions struct to include a noWait field and added a getter method for it
  • Updated the Destroy method in the provisioning manager to support asynchronous operation when noWait is true
  • Modified the output message to indicate when resources are being deleted in the background
  • Updated the command help documentation to include information about the new flag
  • Added basic unit tests for the new functionality

Example Usage

To start resource deletion without waiting for completion:

azd down --no-wait

This command will return immediately after initiating the deletion process, allowing the user to continue working while Azure resources are being cleaned up in the background.

Fixes #5166.

@copilot In a Go, when the main function reaches the end, the program exits immediately—even if there are running goroutines in the background. Go does not automatically wait for them to finish.

The Azd down command not only triggers and handles deleting resources, it also purge any soft-deleted resources like KeyVault. AZD can only call the delete requests without waiting, but that would sacrifice the purge operation, leaving soft-deleted resources, which would block running azd up again, as some resources' name would be in deleted mode, blocking a new resource to use the same name

Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed the implementation in 6366171 to address the issue with goroutines exiting prematurely. Now when --purge is true, the command will not use the async behavior even if --no-wait is specified, ensuring critical purge operations complete. I've also updated the help text and output messages to explain this behavior to users.
