Invoke-MSGraphRequest not converting content correctly.

[stephenc01]

Hey,

Its my understanding that Content will accept, Hash, Object, or a String.

The command i am using is:
Invoke-MSGraphRequest -Url $URL -HttpMethod PATCH -Content $IOSF -Debug -Verbose

If i pass a HASH i get this(Not Complete)
{"contentFilterSettings":{"CliXml":"<Objs Version="1.1.0.1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/2004/04\">\r\n <Obj RefId="0">\r\n <TN RefId="0">\r\n
System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject\r\n

If I pass an object, the body is empty
$IOSF = $IOSF | ConvertTo-Json | ConvertFrom-Json ##Convert hash to object

If i pass a string(Not Complete)
$IOSF = $IOSF | ConvertTo-Json
"{\r\n "contentFilterSettings": {\r\n "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.iosWebContentFilterAutoFilter",\r\n
"allowedUrls": [\r\n\r\n ],\r\n "blockedUrls": [\r\n
"https://facebook.com",\r\n "http://facebook.com",\r\n
"https://instagram.com",\r\n "http://instagram.com",\r\n
"https://mail.google.com",\r\n "http://mail.google.com",\r\n
"https://twitter.com",\r\n

How i was able to get it to work
$($($IOSF | ConvertTo-Json) -replace "rn","" -replace " ","")

PS Version: 5.1.17763.503
Module Version: 6.1902.1.10

@cconrado if your input is in json format try this i.e. add ".toString() to the Content, it should work:

$IOSF = $IOSF | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-MSGraphRequest -Url $URL -HttpMethod PATCH -Content $IOSF.toString()

@davefalkus I got it to working using this

$json = @"
{
scriptContent: "$B64File",
description: "Sample"
}
"@

I didn't need to convert.

@cconrado if you declare the json as you have your correct you don't need to convert it to string, but if you have a PS object which you convert to json, then the carriage return and new line /r/n are added which the commandlet can't parse, so the tostring() can be used to work around it.

@davefalkus good tip thanks for that. Learning more everyday :)
