BTP CLI unable to create environment instance for cloud foundry

iji — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 07:02:08 GMT

Hello colleagues,

I'm trying to create a Cloud Foundry instance using BTP CLI, but I am facing the error: Value '{' for parameter --parameters is neither of type json nor a valid filename.

Command that I executed, directly in the terminal, is:

btp create accounts/environment-instance --subaccount my-syb-acc --display-name my-environment --environment cloudfoundry --landscape cf-eu10 --service cloudfoundry --plan standard --parameters "{"instance_name": "cf-test"}"

I tried with --parameters "{\"instance_name\": \"cf-test\"}" , still it complains the same.

Is the JSON format incorrect for the --parameters?

Thank you for your help,

Robin

Hi Iji,

it just worked for me with single quotes but if you experience the same issue as an alternative option I would suggest you to try to provide the data via file like:

and the content of the file is then:

{ "instance_name": "cf-test" }

I hope this helps.
