Cmdlet can only return 100 objects regardless of the value from the Limit parameter

[leander091]

Steps to reproduce

• Populate a VRA infrastrcture with more than 100 custom groups.
• Execute a Cmdlet like Get-vRAGroupPrincipal -Limit 999 -Verbose
• You will see that only the first 100 will be returned as a object when you count the members.
• If you execute the linked REST request like https://vraurl/identity/api/tenants/tenantname/groups?limit=999 the full list will be returned.

Expected behavior

Return every group specified in the VRA infrastructure and set the limit based on the -Limit parameter.

Actual behavior

The actual behavior is that only the first 100 groups will be returned and that the limit parameter is not working as expected.

It is a limit of the rest API, using a rest client, you will also get this behavior even when trying to force a bigger limit you can use the following synthax to get around it: -limit "100&page=2" and increment the page number

@nuclear12 Thanks for your answer, however this project is a Powershell implementation to query the REST api.

Maybe this fix could be integrated by the maintainers of the repo.

@leander091 Old ticket, but this should be fixed with PR #232. Can this issue be closed?

[leander091]

@martin9700, This issue is related to vRA7 with an different API. So if this PR could be back-ported to the version of powerVRA (3.7.0) which support vRA7 then this issue could be closed.

[leander091]

I created in the past an draft of an own implementation of pagination support for vRA7. I am going to test my solution and contribute it if it is works as expected

[martin9700]

Sounds good, I don't have access to vRA7 so wouldn't be able to help.
