[BUG] Unable to update existing automation assets using CreateOrUpdateAsync

[davecader]

Library name and version

Azure.ResourceManager.Automation 1.0

Describe the bug

I am observing an ArgumentNullException when attempting to update an existing automation asset (i.e. variable, connection, schedule, etc.) using any of the CreateOrUpdateAsync/CreateOrUpdate methods. I can use this method to create new assets without an problems, but it invariably fails with existing assets.

Please see the following exception details:

System.ArgumentNullException HResult=0x80004003 Message=Value cannot be null. Parameter name: resourceId Source=Azure.Core StackTrace: at Azure.Core.Argument.AssertNotNullOrEmpty(String value, String name) at Azure.Core.ResourceIdentifier..ctor(String resourceId) at Azure.ResourceManager.Automation.AutomationVariableData.DeserializeAutomationVariableData(JsonElement element) at Azure.ResourceManager.Automation.VariableRestOperations.<CreateOrUpdateAsync>d__6.MoveNext() at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Azure.ResourceManager.Automation.AutomationVariableCollection.<CreateOrUpdateAsync>d__5.MoveNext() at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ConfiguredTaskAwaitable1.ConfiguredTaskAwaiter.GetResult() at Kelverion.RunbookStudio.Cloud.Core.AutomationVariableCollectionClient.<CreateCoreAsync>d__3.MoveNext() in C:\Users\DavidCader\source\repos\app-automation-console\Src\Kelverion.RunbookStudio.Cloud\Core\AutomationVariableCollectionClient.cs:line 28 at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ConfiguredTaskAwaitable1.ConfiguredTaskAwaiter.GetResult() at Kelverion.RunbookStudio.Cloud.Core.AutomationCollectionClientBase`1.<CreateAsync>d__9.MoveNext() in C:\Users\DavidCader\source\repos\app-automation-console\Src\Kelverion.RunbookStudio.Cloud\Core\AutomationCollectionClientBase.cs:line 59

Expected behavior

You should be able to update automation assets using the CreateOrUpdateAsync methods.

Actual behavior

An ArgumentNullException (Value cannot be null. Parameter anme: resourceId) exception is observed.

Reproduction Steps

async Task UpdateVariableAssetTest(ArmClient armClient, ResourceIdentifier automationAccountId, string variableName, string value) { AutomationAccountResource automationAccountResource = armClient.GetAutomationAccountResource(automationAccountId); AutomationVariableCollection varialbes = automationAccountResource.GetAutomationVariables();

var content = new AutomationVariableCreateOrUpdateContent("<AssetName>")
{
    Description = "This is a test",
    IsEncrypted = false,
    Value = value,
};

await varialbes.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, variableName, content);

}

Environment

Windows 10, .NET Framework 4.8

Thank you for your feedback. Tagging and routing to the team member best able to assist.

Hi @davecader thanks for this issue!

By checking the stack trace at Azure.Core.Argument.AssertNotNullOrEmpty(String value, String name) at Azure.Core.ResourceIdentifier..ctor(String resourceId) at Azure.ResourceManager.Automation.AutomationVariableData.DeserializeAutomationVariableData(JsonElement element) We noticed that this happens when deserializing the response into AutomationVariableData, and the SDK gets a null value for the property id which is unacceptable because the SDK will always requires a value for Id. We think this is a violation of ARM convention, and we will call the corresponding service team to take a look at this issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, could you please enable content logging for your SDK so that we could see the actual raw response and confirm if the service really returns a null value for id? You could do that by following this document: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/main/sdk/core/Azure.Core/samples/Diagnostics.md#logging

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @jaspkaur28, @omairabdullah.

I have enabled diagnostics with content logging as requested, but I'm not seeing details of the response in the logs. This is all that I get related to the CreateOrUpdate method call.

[sambetts]

Also hitting this issue. Any updates?

[sambetts]

Quick update: variables get created, just reading the server response throws this exception. Ergo, this workaround works:

var varWeeksToKeep = new AutomationVariableCreateOrUpdateContent(CONFIG_PARAM_NAME_WEEKS_TO_KEEP)
{
    Value = "4", 
    IsEncrypted = false,
    Description = "Number of weeks to keep data"
};

var variables = automationAccount.GetAutomationVariables();
try
{
    await variables.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, CONFIG_PARAM_NAME_WEEKS_TO_KEEP, varWeeksToKeep );
}
catch (ArgumentNullException)
{
    // Ignore. https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/34261
}

The variable appears. Not ideal but still better than nothing.
