DevOps Pipeline changing Timeformat when sending variable values as JSON Body to Deploy Azure Resour-CodePudding

My Terraform Deployment for Azure Resources contains a Budget, which requires a start and end date. When I'm sending my JSON Body/variable value from my Logic App over an http Post, DevOps changes the timeformat of my string values. Terraform requires a specific timeformat which is RFC 3339. Whenever I'm sending my data to DevOps, it gets changed to another standard which isn't valid.

Error from Pipeline:

Body I'm sending:

{
  "variables": {
    "end_date": {
      "isSecret:": false,
      "value": "2022-07-31T11:53:23.000Z"
    },
    "start_date": {
      "isSecret:": false,
      "value": "2022-06-01T11:53:27.000Z"
    }
  }
}

How can I prevent that it gets changed during the deployment?

CodePudding user response：

The only thing that needs to be changes is to reference one (out of two keys) in the JSON type variable end_date:

end_date = var.end_date["value"]

This way only the key with name value will be referenced. Similarly, if you needed to access the value for the isSecret key (or any other key added to the variable in the future), you would use:

someargument = var.end_date["isSecret"] # or var.end_date["<key-name>"]

More information about accessing values of map variables can be found in [1].
