[BUG] Invoke-PnPSPRestMethod - Pages API - Publish - The input does not contain any JSON tokens

[SjoerdV]

Reporting an Issue

Using the Pages api through SharePoint REST API v2, this command:

Invoke-PnPSPRestMethod -Url "https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/sites('<tenant>.sharepoint.com,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')/pages/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/oneDrive.publish" -Method "POST" -ContentType "application/json" -Content @{} -ErrorAction Stop

(all guids replaced with empty guid)

returns:

The input does not contain any JSON tokens. Expected the input to start with a valid JSON token, when isFinalBlock is true. Path: $ | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0.

Expected behavior

Publish the Modern Page

Actual behavior

Error message as depicted above.

NOTE1: it does not matter if the 'Content' parameter is omitted
NOTE2: it does not matter if the Url suffix 'oneDrive.publish' is replaced with 'publish'
NOTE2: the exact same call passes without error through a direct Graph call using EasyGraph Module and Invoke-PnPGraphMethod:

Invoke-PnPGraphMethod -Method POST -Url "beta/sites/<tenant>.sharepoint.com,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/pages/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/publish" -ContentType "application/json" -ErrorAction Stop

Thanks @SjoerdV for raising the issue.

Can you please tell us how to get actual GUID values ? Will try to reproduce and fix this :)

Sure @gautamdsheth
make these GET calls to the following endpoints

/sites?select=id,webUrl,displayName # resulting id = id of the site
/sites/$siteid/pages?select=id,title # use the 'id' of a site in the previous call, resulting id = id of the page

Thanks @SjoerdV for raising this issue, have fixed it.
Was an interesting edge case we missed.

The fixed version will be available in tomorrow's nightly build and the next major version.
