Incorrect PowerShell command for the Graph API - List driveProtectionUnits

[Anand-Malli]

Describe the bug

On this documentation page - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/backuprestoreroot-list-driveprotectionunits?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

For this API - List driveProtectionUnits, following endpoint is supported and works as expected. Purpose of this endpoint is to return all the protection units of type driveProtectionUnit. Here driveProtectionUnit inherits the protectionUnits type.

GET /solutions/backupRestore/protectionUnits/microsoft.graph.driveProtectionUnit

For this endpoint, equivalent PowerShell command is mentioned below which does not represent the equivalent HTTP endpoint.

Import-Module Microsoft.Graph.BackupRestore
Get-MgSolutionBackupRestoreProtectionUnit -ProtectionUnitBaseId $protectionUnitBaseId

Here it takes the "ProtectionUnitBaseId" which represents the identifier of the single unit which is not matching with the http endpoint.

This issue is present for 3 similar endpoints.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/backuprestoreroot-list-driveprotectionunits?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/backuprestoreroot-list-siteprotectionunits?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/backuprestoreroot-list-siteprotectionunits?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Expected behavior

Expected PowerShell command is which takes the type similar to "microsoft.graph.driveProtectionUnit" instead of "ProtectionUnitBaseId" which represents the id of the single unit.

Attached the debug output, it's translating to Uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/solutions/backupRestore/protectionUnits" instead this should be translating to Uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/solutions/backupRestore/protectionUnits/microsoft.graph.driveProtectionUnit"

Hi @Anand-Malli thank you for logging this issue. It seems there are two issues here.

1. Metadata issue.
   The paths /solutions/backupRestore/protectionUnits/microsoft.graph.driveProtectionUnit and /solutions/backupRestore/protectionUnits/microsoft.graph.siteProtectionUnit do not exist among the list of paths provided in the metadata here. Please note that cmdlet generation depends on metadata/open Api information provided by the workload/service owners and in this case, it seems like invalid endpoints were provided. For such an issue it needs to be escalated here https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/support so that the API owner can respond to it.

2. Documentation issue.
   Wrong snippets have been provided for the equivalent http paths. The PowerShell example tabs should be blank. Related issue for that is here https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-devx-api/issues/2265.

Hey @timayabi2020, we are the service owner in this case. I have 2 follow up questions:

1. Can you point out where can I find the yaml for the metadata being populated from?

2. The endpoint provided is working as expected in graph, only the automatically generated cmdlts are incorrect. And for mailbox the path /solutions/backupRestore/exchangeProtectionPolicies/{exchangeProtectionPolicyId}/mailboxProtectionUnits/ , I don't see any cmdlet generated.
