azure-mgmt-resource returning properties as str instead of an obj #18763
Description
- Package Name: azure-mgmt-resource
- Package Version: 17.0.0
- Operating System: linux
- Python Version: 3.8.0
Describe the bug
Many methods in azure-mgmt-resource no longer provide the results as a nested object, rather the results are provided as a str. This was not included in the breaking change documentation in this release.
It appears that this change was made in #18686.
To Reproduce
resource = ResourceManagementClient(...).resources.get_by_id(resource_id, "2018-11-30")
resource.properties['principalId']Expected behavior
Previously, this returned the dictionary with the keys tenantId, principalId, and clientId.
Now, this returns a string with the value {'tenantId': 'GUID', 'principalId': 'GUID', 'clientId': 'GUID'}.
Note, because this string uses single quotes, it can't be decoded as json, like many other resources from Azure.
