Start-ZertoFailoverTest errors with empty $body

[kentgs]

Expected Behavior

A ZertoFailoverTest begins.

Current Behavior

After using 'Connect-ZertoServer' I am able to run other functions, but cannot start a failover test. Specifying vpgName and/or vmName all results in failure.

Running 'Get-ZertoVpg -vpgName name' or 'Get-ZertoProtectedVm -vmName name' both succeed, while 'Start-ZertoFailoverTest -vpgName name' fails.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

After a successful 'Connect-ZertoServer':

PS H:> Start-ZertoFailoverTest -vpgName "VPG_name"
Invoke-ZertoRestRequest : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'body'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an
argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

Hi @kentgs

Thanks for reporting this bug. I believe I know what the issue is and will be digging in. It is my intention to release an updated version of this wrapper in the next few days and should be able to get this fix in the next version that gets pushed to the PowerShell Gallery.

Hi @kentgs

Just wanted to let you know that I have published this fix in the latest update that was pushed to the PowerShell Gallery today. You should be able to update the module and this should now work.

Hi Wes - I've pulled the updated module and was able to run Start-ZertoFailoverTest successfully. Thanks specifically for this fix, and more generally for working on this module. Much appreciated!
