Azure-docs: change module image from cli - json property with dot/period?

[lkoppenol]

I cannot find out how to change a json property past properties.desired, which is a single default tag with a dot/period in it. I have been trying many many things.

For example:
az iot edge deployment update --deployment-id demoimage1-6 --hub-name iot-hubski --set content.modulesContent.'$edgeAgent'.'properties.desired'.modules.'demoimage1-latest'.settings.image=demoworkspac2478a907.azurecr.io/demoimage1:5

@lkoppenol Sorry for the delay. I am reaching out internally I will update you as soon I heard back!

you need to manually strinigying the $edgeHub JSON.

az iot edge deployment update --deployment-id testedge --hub-name microwaves --set content.modulesContent.'$edgeHub'="{'properties.desired': {'routes': {'route': 'FROM /messages/* INTO $upstream'},'schemaVersion': '1.0','storeAndForwardConfiguration': {'timeToLiveSecs': 7201}}}"

However it doesn't do anything because of content being immutable. Items that can be updated by "az iot edge deployment update" command:
labels
metrics
priority
targetCondition
labels and metrics do not allow values with ‘.’ in the name.

Thanks for your answer, here and on stackoverflow :D can you point to the documentation for this?

[philipktlin]

The documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ext/azure-cli-iot-ext/iot/edge/deployment?view=azure-cli-latest) currently doesn't have this information; will update it asap.
