Debug Output

Expected Behavior
Runbook should be created

Actual Behavior
Looking for creating runbook which doesn't exist

Steps to Reproduce
terraform apply

Terraform Version
Terraform v0.12.7

• provider.azurerm v1.34.0
• provider.local v1.3.0

i ran into this today with the both the regular and custom content examples listed in the documentation.

[MathieuBuisson]

I ran into this problem as well, using the content argument in my case.
Terraform version : 0.12.9
Azurerm provider version : 1.35.0

[hbastosc]

I am running into the same problem

terraform --version
Terraform v0.12.9
+ provider.azurerm v1.32.1
+ provider.local v1.3.0

Yeah, for MR #3386 I've noticed that this started happening. This is due to the fact that MS basically removed the file the examples and tests were pointing to.

If you are using the content parameter, a workaround is to point the url to any location as long as it exists. Even something like http://google.com/ works.

Hi @draggeta, I can't reproduce that it has anything to do with the publish_content_link. Creating a new runbook just always fails, period.

As far as I can see this is just a failure of terraform to perform the correct AzureRM operations.

I just retried this and it seems I was wrong. I must've made a mistake when running apply.

[draggeta]

@erlacherl-city good to hear. The examples will hopefully be fixed once the MR is merged.

[joshschmitter]

Experiencing the same issue regardless of the publish_contentLlink uri and regardless of whether the content string is populated:

[joshschmitter]

I think the runbook_type enum is case specific. It needs to be "PowerShell" with a capital "S"

[Cpcrook]

Having the same issue here:

Terraform v0.12.16
+ provider.azurerm v1.37.0

This is when creating a PowerShellWorkflow runbook

I can confirm that setting the uri in the publish_conent_link block to something generic like https://google.com works. I had a fake URL that doesn't exist before. This may just need some error handling or maybe does not need to be required if setting the content for the script inline? I'm using heredoc content for the script content so I can fill in parameters from references to other resources in my file. Here is what my azurerm_automation_runbook resource looks like for reference:

`resource "azurerm_automation_runbook" "start-bastion" {
count = var.aa_count
name = "Start-Bastion"
location = azurerm_resource_group.prd-mgmt.location
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.prd-mgmt.name
automation_account_name = "${element(azurerm_automation_account.aa-mgmt.*.name, count.index)}"
log_verbose = "true"
log_progress = "true"
description = "Runbook for creating an Azure Bastion host"
runbook_type = "PowerShell"

publish_content_link {
uri = "https://google.com"
}

content = <<EOC
New-AzBastion -Name azb-prdmgmt01 -VirtualNetworkName ${element(azurerm_virtual_network.vn-mgmt.*.name, count.index)} -VirtualNetworkResourceGroupName ${azurerm_resource_group.prd-mgmt.name} -ResourceGroupName ${azurerm_resource_group.prd-mgmt.name} -PublicIpAddressName ${azurerm_public_ip.pip-azurebastion.name} -PublicIpAddressResourceGroupName ${azurerm_resource_group.prd-mgmt.name}
EOC
}`

Just to muddle the water a bit; came across this issue the other day and pulled my hair out for a while.

A generic URL such as Google will work for PowerShell runbooks, for PowerShell Workflows it won't; you need to provide a URI which will return text/plain (such as raw.githubusercontent.com). No idea why, however, it's the only thing that works for me for deploying a mixture of PoSH and PoSH WF - Using Google (or any other URI) worked fine when deploying just PoSH.

[telekosmos]

Just to add what @mactator is telling, python scripts don't work either no matter what you set in the publish_content_link argument.

This has been released in version 2.9.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.9.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...

[lmicverm]

This is not fixed in the version 2.9.0.
When creating a new runbook with content type PowerShellWorkflow, I still get a 404: resource not found, but it should create the resource!
