azure-cli: az vmss diagnostics set --resource-group --vmss-name --settings router_config.json --protected-settings protected.json gives error The value of parameter type is invalid.

Looks like Azure CLI version 2.2.0 forgot to pass the extension’s type to the underlying Resource Provider.

eg. with CLI 2.1.0 “extensions”: [ { “name”: “customScript”, “properties”: { “autoUpgradeMinorVersion”: true, “publisher”: “Microsoft.Azure.Extensions”, “type”: “CustomScript”, “typeHandlerVersion”: “2.0”, “settings”: {“commandToExecute”:“echo testing”} }

and with CLI 2.2.0 “extensions”: [ { “name”: “customScript”, “properties”: { “autoUpgradeMinorVersion”: true, “publisher”: “Microsoft.Azure.Extensions”, “typeHandlerVersion”: “2.0”, “settings”: {“commandToExecute”:“echo testing”} }

I have opened a PR to fix this issue. The root cause is that Python SDK abandoned type. Instead, it uses type1 now. I am very confused why there is such kind of change!!!

    def __init__(self, *, name: str=None, force_update_tag: str=None, publisher: str=None, type1: str=None, type_handler_version: str=None, auto_upgrade_minor_version: bool=None, settings=None, protected_settings=None, provision_after_extensions=None, **kwargs) -> None:
        super(VirtualMachineScaleSetExtension, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.name = name
        self.type = None
        self.force_update_tag = force_update_tag
        self.publisher = publisher
        self.type1 = type1

@diepes - unfortunately CloudShell doesn’t include the latest CLI version with the fix. This should be deployed in ~2 weeks from what I hear.

I have the same issue with CLI 2.2.0, see also at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/50180
