Introduction

The Azure Rest API Specs is a crucial component of the Azure ecosystem, providing a standardized way to interact with Azure resources. However, recent issues have been reported regarding the validation of Swagger files in the Azure Rest API Specs repository. In this article, we will delve into the details of the issue, explore the repro steps, and discuss the implications of this problem.

Repro Steps

To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Azure Rest API Specs repository: Navigate to the Azure Rest API Specs repository on GitHub and clone it to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs.git

2. **Navigate to the compute resource-manager directory**: Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the `specification/compute/resource-manager` directory using the following command:
   ```bash
cd azure-rest-api-specs/specification/compute/resource-manager
  1. Create a new directory for the stable branch: Create a new directory for the stable branch using the following command:

mkdir Microsoft.Compute/DiskRP/stable

4. **Copy the original Swagger files**: Copy the original Swagger files from the `original` directory to the `stable` directory. You can do this by running the following command:
   ```bash
cp -r original/* stable/
  1. Run the rest-api-diff command: Run the rest-api-diff command using the following command:

npx rest-api-diff --lhs C:\Users\pashao\GIT\azure-rest-api-specs\specification\compute\resource-manager\Microsoft.Compute\DiskRP\stable\original --rhs C:\Users\pashao\GIT\azure-rest-api-specs\specification\compute\resource-manager\Microsoft.Compute\DiskRP\stable\2024-03-02 --group-violations true

6. **Verify the diff output**: Verify the diff output to see if the issue is reproducible.

**Expected vs Actual Output**
---------------------------

The expected output of the `rest-api-diff` command is a diff report showing the differences between the original Swagger files and the updated Swagger files. However, in this case, the actual output is a diff report showing a difference that does not exist.

**Diff Report**
-------------

The diff report shows a difference in the `x-ms-examples` section of the Swagger file. The diff report is as follows:
```json
{
  "ruleResult": "A",
  "diff": {
    "kind": "D",
    "path": [
      "paths",
      "management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionid}/resourcegroups/{resourcegroupname}/providers/microsoft.compute/diskaccesses",
      "get",
      "x-ms-examples",
      "List all disk access resources in a resource group."
    ],
    "lhs": {
      "$example": "C:/Users/pashao/GIT/azure-rest-api-specs/specification/compute/resource-manager/Microsoft.Compute/DiskRP/stable/original/examples/diskAccessExamples/DiskAccess_ListByResourceGroup.json"
    }
  }
}

However, as mentioned earlier, this difference does not exist in the original Swagger files.

Implications

The implications of this issue are significant. If the rest-api-diff command is not producing accurate results, it can lead to incorrect validation of Swagger files, which can have serious consequences in the development and deployment of Azure resources.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the issue with the rest-api-diff command in the Azure Rest API Specs repository is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. The repro steps outlined in this article demonstrate how to reproduce the issue, and the implications of this problem are significant. We hope that this article has provided valuable insights into this issue and has helped to raise awareness about the importance of accurate Swagger file validation.

Future Work

To resolve this issue, we recommend the following:

  1. Investigate the root cause: Investigate the root cause of the issue and identify the source of the incorrect diff report.
  2. Update the rest-api-diff command: Update the rest-api-diff command to produce accurate results.
  3. Verify the diff output: Verify the diff output to ensure that it is accurate and reliable.
