Azure-cli: Submitting an image configuration to the VM Image Builder service in Azure Cloud Shell fails.

[sirredbeard]

Describe the bug

Submitting an image configuration to the VM Image Builder service in Azure Cloud Shell per documentation:

az resource create \
    --resource-group $imageResourceGroup \
    --properties @helloImageTemplateWin.json \
    --is-full-object \
    --resource-type Microsoft.VirtualMachineImages/imageTemplates \
    -n helloImageTemplateWin01

Fails with a cryptic message:

location of the resource is required

Even when --location is specified:

az resource create \
    --resource-group $imageResourceGroup \
    --properties @helloImageTemplateWin.json \
    --is-full-object \
    --resource-type Microsoft.VirtualMachineImages/imageTemplates \
    -n helloImageTemplateWin01
    --location $location

Command Name
az resource create

Errors:

location of the resource is required

I cannot find reference to this error message anywhere in the documentation or even in the project.

The only reference to location in the template is complete:

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior. Note that argument values have been redacted, as they may contain sensitive information.

• I followed the tutorial here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/image-builder on Azure Cloud Shell
• Run az resource create \ --resource-group $imageResourceGroup \ --properties @helloImageTemplateWin.json \ --is-full-object \ --resource-type Microsoft.VirtualMachineImages/imageTemplates \ -n helloImageTemplateWin01

Expected Behavior

When complete, this will return a success message back to the console, and create an Image Builder Configuration Template in the $imageResourceGroup.

@danielsollondon, could you take a look at this issue?

[danielsollondon]

Looking now...
@sirredbeard - I had a quick look, apologies, this doc is in the process of being updated, I am working on this today, in the meantime, you can use either the sources for these:

• Linux / AZ CLI example
• Windows / PowerShell example

I will come back when the updates have completed.

[sirredbeard]

Thank you @danielsollondon those are very helpful.

[danielsollondon]

Quick update, all the Azure docs PRs are in review now, I am hoping the updates will get out today.

[danielsollondon]

Sorry for the delay, docs have been updated.

Closing this now that the docs are updated.
