Deploy-policyplan.ps1 seems to be removing spaces from during policy assignments

[artisticcheese]

My assignment file is below and here is how actual assignment looks like

{
   // Modify Policies for required tags --- use this comment to trigger deployment
   "nodeName": "/Tags/",
   "parameters": {},
   "children": [
      {
         "nodeName": "required-and-inherit/",
         "scope": {
            "epac-dev": [
               "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/EPAC-Dev"
            ],
            "dev-environment": [
               "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/DevOps-mg"
            ],
            "prod-environment": [
               "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/DevOps-mg"
            ]
         },
         "definitionEntryList": [
            {
               "initiativeName": "31fa76b5-77f6-4dda-b061-324aced74fdc",
               "assignment": {
                  "name": "tagassignment",
                  "displayName": "Require Tags Assignment",
                  "description": "Assignment for all tags"
               }
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

This is a bug in Az Module 9.2.x. It is fixed in Az Module. 9.3.0: see Azure/azure-powershell#20407. Make sure your environment is updated accordingly.

I'm using Microsoft hosted agents, they seems to be on 9.2 😥

https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/linux/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#:~:text=PowerShell%20Modules-,Az%3A%209.2.0,-MarkdownPS%3A%201.9

[artisticcheese]

Solution for hosted agents to add Az update job before deployment steps for now

                - task: AzurePowerShell@5
                  name: updateAzVersion
                  displayName: Update Az Version
                  inputs:
                    azureSubscription: $(tenant2DeployServiceConnection)
                    pwsh: true
                    azurePowerShellVersion: LatestVersion
                    ScriptType: "InlineScript"
                    Inline: "Install-Module Az -Force; Get-InstalledModule Az;"

Thank you for that update. Microsoft is rolling out 9.3.0. About 50% of time, you get 9.2.0 or 9.3.0. I would GUESS that in a couple of days the problem disappears. Let's leave this issue open (I reopened it) until next week (I'll close it).

Official Microsoft documentation states that latest version of hosted agent contains 9.2.0, are you seeing 9.3.0 on hosted agents?

[techlake]

Yes, I am seeing it intermittent as shown in this log snippet:

This repo builds the agent images. For Linux, this file drives the version:

    "azureModules": [
        {
            "name": "az",
            "url" : "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/az-ps-module-versions/main/versions-manifest.json",
            "versions": [
                "9.3.0"
            ],
            "zip_versions": [
            ]
        }
    ],

It appears that the Microsoft hosted agents have been fully upgraded to the required 9.3.0

[artisticcheese]

Yes, readme reflects it as well

[techlake]

I'll close it as resolved
