[Az 0.6.1] Start-AzAutomationRunbook ends with a JSON conversion error

alexandair commented 5 years ago

Every time I start a runbook using the Start-AzAutomationRunbook, job completes as expected, but I get an error:

Start-AzAutomationRunbook : Conversion from JSON failed with error: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: S. Path '', line 0, position 0.

@alexandair Hey Aleksandar, would you mind providing the following information:

the debug trace from executing the command with $DebugPreference = "Continue"
the full error output from running Resolve-AzError

@thomasyip-msft, Can you please take a look?

alexandair commented 5 years ago

@safeermohammed @thomasyip-msft Any follow-up on this?

alexandair commented 5 years ago

@cormacpayne @markcowl I would really appreciate if someone could fix this annoying error.

lwajswaj commented 5 years ago

hey @alexandair, do you still see this issue with AZ 1.3.0? Particularly with Az.Automation 1.1.0? If so, do you have a example script of the runbook you're trying to run and full list of parameters for Start-AzAutomationRunbook?

alexandair commented 5 years ago

@lwajswaj The issue still exists in Az 1.3.0. And, I'm not the only one. Please, take a look at #8600

lwajswaj commented 5 years ago

Does it happen with any type of runbook or what is the output you are trying to read? (trying to repro, just that)

tobvil commented 5 years ago

I have exacly the same issue on pwsh 6.1.3. No issue on pwsh 5.1 Hope the PR will fix it.

alexandair commented 5 years ago

@lwajswaj @cormacpayne This bug is still present in Az 1.6.0.

leifyumel commented 5 years ago

Is there any update on this issue?

lwajswaj commented 5 years ago

I wasn't able to complete the previous PR given a business trip and vacation. I'm working to get it merged as soon as I can.

lwajswaj commented 5 years ago

@leifyumel, fix for this issue has been release with AZ 2.1.0 (https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases/tag/v2.1.0-May2019)

alexandair commented 5 years ago

@lwajswaj Thank you.

alexandair commented 5 years ago

Unfortunately, even with v2.1.0, I still see the same issue:
