While using "begin_create_or_update" getting error related to location property

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

[Enter feedback here]
I'm using azure-mgmt-compute==30.4.0 and above version. I'm facing the following issue. I tried to add the location parameter manually, but that doesn't work either. The document doesn't call it out clearly.

Hi @mehulrjangale - It looks like the parameters parameter of begin_create_or_update takes either an IO[bytes] or VirtualMachine.

VirtualMachine takes location as a required keyword argument.

The argument update_vm passed in to parameters should include location. Example.

Thanks!

Hi @swathipil,

I've the following code:

vm.os_profile.admin_password = new_password
**update_vm** = **VirtualMachineUpdate**(os_profile=vm.os_profile)
compute_client.virtual_machines.begin_create_or_update(resource_group_name, vm_name, update_vm)

The problem is I think VirtualMachineUpdate does not have location parameter.

Hi @swathipil,

I've the following code:

vm.os_profile.admin_password = new_password
**update_vm** = **VirtualMachineUpdate**(os_profile=vm.os_profile)
compute_client.virtual_machines.begin_create_or_update(resource_group_name, vm_name, update_vm)

The problem is I think VirtualMachineUpdate does not have location parameter. [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-compute/azure.mgmt.compute.v2024_03_01.models.virtualmachineupdate?view=azure-python]

Hi, please use the model VirtualMachine instead of VirtualMachineUpdate

from azure.mgmt.compute.models import VirtualMachine
update_vm = VirtualMachine(location="eastus", tags={'1':'2'})

@ChenxiJiang333 @swathipil Will it work if I want to update the VM ?

It works for both to create or update the VM.
