loadBalancerBackendAddresses : Could not find member 'location' on object of type 'LoadBalancerBackendAddressPoolProperties'

[MatthewBettonMaif]

When we try to create a new 'LoadBalancerBackendAddressPool' we can not specify 'location' property while this property exists in specifications : loadBalancer.json

Expected behavior

Load balancer Backend Address Pool well created.

Current behavior

No 'LoadBalancerBackendAddressPool' created

Error message :

{
  "error": {
    "code": "InvalidRequestFormat",
    "message": "Cannot parse the request.",
    "details": [
      {
        "code": "InvalidJson",

      }
    ]
  }
}

Steps to reproduce

curl -i -X PUT \
   -H 'Accept: application/json' \

Hello,

This bug has been opened for one year, not fixed yet?
A customer actually ran into this bug today.
Is there a plan to get it fixed?

Many thanks.

[DNIE-ecco]

I am still seeing this error, using the Azure/azapi provider (both in ver. 1.3.0 and 1.4.0) in terraform.
Any suggestions on a fix/workaround?

[thisisanniefang]

Hi @DNIE-ecco, could you please provide the details for repro? This issue tracked removing the "location" property from one of our JSON templates, as it's an inherited property for loadBalancerBackendAddresses and should not be specified.
