Unable to generate API SDK for Azure Time Series Insights

Before asking the question:

• have you checked the documentation in the [docs folder(https://github.com/Azure/autorest/tree/master/docs) and couldn’t find the information there
• have you checked existing issues for a similar question?

I’m trying to follow the myriad of doc fragments to generate this API, and it is frustrating. Is there any nuget already packaged for the different versions?

I just don’t know how to move on from here I’d appreciate any suggestions

[timotheeguerin]

Sweet, yeah --azure-validator is mosty for Arm libraries and this is a data-plane so they wouldn’t necessarily be following the same rules

[iskandersierra]

Done!

After all your suggestions (mainly removing the package.json file above %USERPROFILE%/.autorest), I followed instructions here and it worked as expected:

So we can close this issue. Thanks a lot for your time!
