DXE-4473 Error exporting property. Saving terraform files. Executing template: rules_v2024-10-21. Range can't iterate over

[glenthomas]

I have a bug with the export-property command when exporting rule format 2024-10-21.

The output is:

Fetching property www.something.com [OK]
Fetching group  [OK]
Fetching property version  [OK]
Fetching property rules  [OK]
Fetching product name  [OK]
Fetching hostnames  [OK]
Fetching activation details  [OK]
Saving TF configurations  [FAIL]
Error exporting property: saving terraform project files: executing template: rules_v2024-10-21.tmpl: 
template: rules_v2024-10-21.tmpl:9347:20: executing "queryStringParameter" at <$v>: 
range can't iterate over api.blah.something.com

I have some match criteria that uses an array of strings for match values. This is from the downloaded rules JSON:

"criteria": [
    {
        "name": "queryStringParameter",
        "options": {
            "parameterName": "host",
            "matchOperator": "IS_ONE_OF",
            "values": "api.blah.something.com",
            "matchWildcardName": false,
            "matchCaseSensitiveName": true,
            "matchWildcardValue": false,
            "matchCaseSensitiveValue": true,
            "escapeValue": false
        }
    }
],

Strangely, I have similar blocks of JSON in the export that have a single array item, but include it as an array of strings rather than just a string:

"criteria": [
    {
        "name": "queryStringParameter",
        "options": {
            "parameterName": "host",
            "matchOperator": "IS_ONE_OF",
            "values": [
                "api.blah.something.com",
            ],
            "matchWildcardName": false,
            "matchCaseSensitiveName": true,
            "matchWildcardValue": false,
            "matchCaseSensitiveValue": true,
            "escapeValue": false
        }
    }
],

Hi @glenthomas

I was able to reproduce it. We will inform you about progress.

Hello @lsadlon, please let me know if there are any suitable workarounds as I would like to continue with my work ASAP. Thanks.

Hi @glenthomas,

You can open your property in UI and save it there even without any changes. It should covert this problematic element to array of strings.

Hello @lsadlon, to confirm, are you saying that I can:

1. Edit a new version of the property in the Control Center.
2. Save the version without any changes.
3. Export using cli-terraform

and it will now work? So somebody has fixed the values attribute so that it is always a list of strings?

[glenthomas]

...I have just tried this and am still getting the same error.

[lsadlon]

Hi @glenthomas,

So problem is that cli-terraform while exporting data expect values attribute to be list of strings. Other way you can fix it is using API (e.g. Postman) https://techdocs.akamai.com/property-mgr/reference/put-property-version-rules and update your rules accordingly.

I have downloaded the rules from the property as JSON. I have corrected the schema to use an array of strings and am now trying to PUT the rules back via Postman. I am getting this generic error:

{
    "type": "https://problems.luna.akamaiapis.net/papi/v0/http/bad-request",
    "title": "Bad Request",
    "detail": "The system cannot understand your request.  Please check the syntax and correct any problems.",
    "instance": "https://{redacted}.luna.akamaiapis.net/papi/v1/properties/123456/versions/1234/rules#d1b1675ae15852fa",
    "status": 400
}

How can I validate the rules JSON? I have tried using params validateRules=true and validateMode=full and still get the same error response.

I have also tried the rules PATCH endpoint and am getting the same error response

Request:

[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/rules/children/117/children/0/children/0/criteria/0/values",
    "value": ["api.blah.something.com"]
  }
]

Response:

{
    "type": "https://problems.luna.akamaiapis.net/papi/v0/http/bad-request",
    "title": "Bad Request",
    "detail": "The system cannot understand your request.  Please check the syntax and correct any problems.",

}

Hi @glenthomas,

To be honest from error message that you get I cannot tell you what is wrong, but it looks there is something wrong with request itself, rather than rules.
