Typo in property name (Get-AzContainerGroup)

[ThePoShWolf]

Description

When examining the output from Get-AzContainerGroup, I noticed that several properties that I would expect start with PreviousState instead start with: PreviouState.

Here is the list:

• PreviouState
• PreviouStateDetailStatus
• PreviouStateExitCode
• PreviouStateFinishTime
• PreviouStateStartTime

These properties can be found using the issue script below.

Issue script & Debug output

$aci = Get-AzContainerGroup -ResourceGroupName 'rg name' -Name 'aci name'
$aci.property.Container[0].PSObject.Properties.Name | ?{$_ -like 'Previous*'}

Error output

# No errors, just a typo being reported.

@dolauli could this be related to how autorest.powershell handles plural nouns?

[dolauli]

Yes, it should be. For some plural words, the lib we use from perk lib can not singularize correctly. To work around the issue for the time being, we could use the directive to rename the property.

But Az.ContainerInstance has already GAed. Renaming properties would cause breaking changes. We should do it in the next major release.

Thanks again for your feedback. We will correct the property names, but consider it's going to be a breaking change, we'll do it in the next major release later this year.
