The current connection holds no SharePoint context. Please use one of the Connect-PnPOnline commands which uses the -Url argument to connect.

I have an Azure Runbook with a system managed identity. I'm using the following code as a simple test:

$conn = Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename" -ManagedIdentity -ReturnConnection
$list = Get-PnPList -Identity "listid" -Connection $conn

The "Connect-PnPOnline -ManagedIdentity" works fine and connects. However, the next line, "$list = Get-PnPList -Identity "listid" -Connection $conn" returns the following error:
"The current connection holds no SharePoint context. Please use one of the Connect-PnPOnline commands which uses the -Url argument to connect."

If I switch the runbook back to using a "runas" account, it works fine.
If I try and use "Connect-PnPOnline -ManagedIdentity -Url $url" the above error occurs

Try and add -ValidateConnection parameter (added in 1.12 or so) to Connect-PnPOnline to get an error. Without that it will not always throw any kind of error
