The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

Issue script & Debug output

append --debug results in the same error message as above. But right before it emits the error messages, it has:
urllib3.connectionpool: Starting new HTTPS connection (1): management.azure.com:443
urllib3.connectionpool: https://management.azure.com:443 "GET /subscriptions/xxxx/resourceGroups/xxxx/providers/Microsoft.App/containerApps/xxx?api-version=2025-01-01 HTTP/1.1" 200 4714

Expected behavior

It should apply the new definition to the container app

Environment Summary

azure-cli: 2.77 and 2.78

Hi @laorient

Can you show the repro yaml file?
Or Do you know which property in the yaml file using type datetime?

Thanks

I don't see any datetime property in my yaml. The only thing resemble one is the apiVersion.
