Azure-cli: 'az webapp create' with different resource group to plan

[danielbecroft]

This is autogenerated. Please review and update as needed.

Describe the bug

It is not possible to create a Web App in a different resource group to the App Service Plan. This functionality is possible in the Azure Portal UI.

Running az webapp create to create a webapp in a different resource group to the service plan results in an error message.

Command Name
az webapp create

Errors:

az webapp create: error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'location'

To Reproduce:

$APP_SERVICE_PLAN_NAME = "appserviceplan"
$PLAN_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME = "appservice-plan-group"
$APP_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME = "webapp-group"

az group create --name $PLAN_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --location australiaeast --subscription $SUBSCRIPTION_ID

az group create --name $APP_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --location australiaeast --subscription $SUBSCRIPTION_ID

az appservice plan create --name $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_NAME --resource-group $PLAN_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --sku B1 --is-linux

$WEBAPP_NAME = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()

az webapp create --name $WEBAPP_NAME --resource-group $APP_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --plan $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_NAME --runtime """python|3.6""" --query id

Expected Behavior

Thanks for sharing the details quickly.

[danielbecroft]

Hi @panchagnula , just checking if there's anything else I need to provide, or if there is any update?

[panchagnula]

@danielbecroft - sorry i will take a look & reach out if i need anything more. I am on-call & so wasn't able to get to this.

[yonzhan]

move to S167.

[contento]

FYI: I'm getting the same error even if the resource group is the same for all resources.

[contento]

and the version is 2.2.0
`▶ az --version
azure-cli 2.2.0

command-modules-nspkg 2.0.3
core 2.2.0
nspkg 3.0.4
telemetry 1.0.4
`

[panchagnula]

@Kotasudhakarreddy can you look at this issue?

[Kotasudhakarreddy]

sure, will look in to it @panchagnula

[Kotasudhakarreddy]

able to repro the issue and will look further to fix the issue.

[Guilhermeslucas]

I was taking a look at this today. The problem is happening because of this line. The resource group web app is trying to get the service plan from is the same as the web app. So, I see two options here:

• use the method list() from client.app_service_plans and filter for the app service name.
• add a optional param like -plan-resource-group that the get() method will use.

Which one you think its better? I can implement both!
Thanks!

* use the method list() from client.app_service_plans and filter for the app service name.

Thanks for the link. Looking in that source code line I found another code path that I could use as an work-around. parse_resource_id should serve instead.
I'm leaving this here for future reference if someone else also stumble on this (and can't be bothered updating az shell or whatever, also the issue was closed as won't fix anyway).

$id = `
az appservice plan show `
  --name shared-service `
  --resource-group networking | `
  ConvertFrom-Json | `
  % { $_.id }

az webapp create `
  --name some-app `
  --resource-group another-group `
  --plan $id `
  --runtime --% "node|10.15"

[danielbecroft]

I can confirm that @Luiz-Monad 's solution works as well. So simple.

[iyerusad]

Little more cross platform
(relies on --query to parse, --out to get string without quotes -- basically no need for jq or sed [ref])

#AppPlanID
az appservice plan show -n "SharedPlan" -g "SharedAppServicePlan" --query "id" --out tsv

[panchagnula]

We need to figure the best design for supporting this.

[mocleiri]

FYI trying to use the long version of the plan id in git-bash on windows doesn't work because it tries to do path adjustments. It does work when run from the windows command line. Will probably also work from within linux.

I found out that there is an issue with azure-cli appending a \r character to its output. So the first api call that retrieves the long form app service plan id gets this extra character.

Then when included into the az webapp create call that \r turns into a %0D and breaks the rest call. It returns a 400 error.

You can strip if off by piping the plan call to tr -d '\r'. I ended up just running in native linux to keep my script cleaner.

[panchagnula]

@calvinsID moving this out by few sprints but lets check if we can figure out a good way (using resourceID instead of name maybe) to support this scenario.
