az cognitiveservices account create --kind QnAMaker NOT WORKING

[stephanbisser]

I tried to create a new QnAMaker service via the CLI like you can do it for other Cognitive Services with the following command:

az cognitiveservices account create -n Cloudguy_CLI_QnAMaker -g Cloudguy_CLI_Bot --kind QnAMaker --sku F0 -l westus --yes

I get the following error output:

(ApiPropertiesInvalid) The given 'apiProperties' '{}' is invalid. Validation errors: Required properties are missing from object: qnaRuntimeEndpoint. Path ''.
Traceback (most recent call last):

The strange thing is that the exact same command executes perfectly fine if I change QnAMaker to LUIS and the LUIS service will deployed just fine.
Any ideas?

Hi,

The QnAMaker resource creation is a bit different from other cognitive services, as there are other dependent resources that get deployed as well.

We will investigate how to enable a CLI for QnAMaker creation

[stephanbisser]

Ok, it would be really nice to get this working in order to have the CLI for all Cognitive Services available...

#7034 has been merged and should unblock you. It will be released 8/28.

[stephanbisser]

Great thank you!
Looking forward to testing it...

[stephanbisser]

sorry but am I missing something? I now get this error:

az: error: unrecognized arguments: --api-properties qnaRuntimeEndpoint=https://cloudguy-cli-bot.azurewebsites.net

when I try to run this command:

**az cognitiveservices account create -n Cloudguy_CLI_QnAMaker -g Cloudguy_CLI_Bot --kind QnAMaker --sku F0 -l westus --api-properties 'qnaRuntimeEndpoint=https://cloudguy-cli-bot.azurewebsites.net' --yes**

[tjprescott]

Did you update your CLI? az --version

[stephanbisser]

Sorry, I had version 2.0.44 not 2.0.45 installed - now it worked. Thanks

Just in case you might encounter other configuration issues.
Here is a full working example:

# Create resource group.
az group create --name devexp-qnamaker --location westus

# Create Search instance and get admin key.
# in this example, the key is "B044183F2450193E26751DC20423DFE4"
az search service create -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-search --sku standard
az search admin-key show -g devexp-qnamaker --service-name devexp-qnamaker-search

# Create App Service plan and Web App
# in this example, Web App endpoint will be https://devexp-qnamaker-webapp.azurewebsites.net
az appservice plan create -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-webapp-plan --sku S1
az webapp create -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-webapp --plan devexp-qnamaker-webapp-plan

# Configure Web App
az webapp config appsettings set -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-webapp --settings \
    AzureSearchName=devexp-qnamaker-search \
    AzureSearchAdminKey=B044183F2450193E26751DC20423DFE4 \
    PrimaryEndpointKey=devexp-qnamaker-webapp-PrimaryEndpointKey \
    SecondaryEndpointKey=devexp-qnamaker-webapp-SecondaryEndpointKey \
    DefaultAnswer="No good match found in KB." \
    QNAMAKER_EXTENSION_VERSION="latest"
az webapp cors add -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-webapp -a "*"

# Create QnAMaker account
az cognitiveservices account create -g devexp-qnamaker -n devexp-qnamaker-account --kind QnAMaker --sku S0 --location westus --api-properties qnaRuntimeEndpoint=https://devexp-qnamaker-webapp.azurewebsites.net

Thanks a lot !
It works for me , with azure cli version : 2.32.0
