Azurestorageexplorer: 1.4.2 breaks Azure Gov environments

[sladeedmonds]

Storage Explorer Version: 1.4.2
Platform/OS Version: Windows
Architecture: ia32 -->
Regression From: Yes, 1.4.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect to a Storage Account in the Azure Gov environment
2. Click to expand a Storage Account.

Expected Experience:

You should be able to browse/expand to access storage resources within a Storage Account.

Actual Experience:

Storage Accounts are visible, but when you attempt to expand them they are empty. I removed my Gov account and re-authenticated--same behavior.

Sorry about that! We've recently changed the api-version to support a new blob type but Azure Government doesn't support that version yet. I'll add the workaround to my next comment on this thread.

[JakeRadMSFT]

To workaround the issue

1. Locate AzureStorageAccountAttributeLoader.js
2. Locate the variable assignment v2AttributesApiVersion = "2018-07-01"
3. Change to v2AttributesApiVersion = "2017-10-01";
4. Restart all Storage Explorer instances.

[JakeRadMSFT]

We double checked and the version is supported in Azure Government ... except US Gov Iowa. Are you targeting US Gov Iowa?

[sladeedmonds]

No, the target is Virginia. I will do some more digging in and follow back up.

[sladeedmonds]

Changing the v2AttributesApiVersion as suggested corrected the issue. Thanks much for the quick response. This is the second time I've seen a new version break Gov.

[JakeRadMSFT]

Sorry about that, we'll come up with a way to make sure we don't break it in the future. Btw it will self-correct it self soon. It turns our Azure Iowa will still impact some calls for Azure Virginia if the calls are across regions.

I'm going to leave this issue open until the new Api-Version works for Iowa.

[sladeedmonds]

Awesome. It seems Gov is a pain for everyone. Thanks again for the prompt workaround!

@JakeRadMSFT Hi Jake. Azure China (Mooncake) also have this issue, would the issue be fix automatically in the future?

[JakeRadMSFT]

@vivianxing, yes

[rider158]

This is still an issue with US Gov Texas. The fix referenced above did remedy the situation, however.

[JakeRadMSFT]

@rider158, Thanks for reporting! I'll see if I can get an ETA.

[JakeRadMSFT]

We'll come up with a better workaround for our next release.

[hoshauch]

Same with Azure Germany.

Azure Government (specifically Texas) is still broken in 1.4.3 with the same issue (i.e., unable to browse storage accounts within an Azure Government subscription). The fix as provided by JakeRadMSFT still works.

[JakeRadMSFT]

Resolved (Reverted) and it will be rolled out when available everywhere.
