`az storage blob upload-batch`: cannot upload directories to $root container

---

Environment summary

OS: macOS 10.13 CLI version: 2.0.20 via Homebrew Shell: zsh

I’m attempting to upload a directory with sub directories to the root container using this syntax:

az storage blob upload-batch -d 'https://MY_STORAGE_ACCOUNT.blob.core.windows.net/$root' -s build

I get the following error when it attempts to upload the first sub directory and the command fails:

The requested URI does not represent any resource on the server.

I have tried using other syntax variants such as the one below and I get the same error:

az storage blob upload-batch -d '$root' -s build --account-name MY_STORAGE_ACCOUNT

I am not able to upload directory content using az storage file upload-batch Below command is failing with mentiond issue. What is the share_name and what value need to provide for it? az storage file upload-batch --destination <Container-URL> --source <directory-name> --account-name <storage-account-name> --account-key <storage-account-key> uploading <directory-path><file-name> share_name should not be None.

@sethdeckard you can achieve this by combining the root container with non-root containers. e.g.

$root/index.html
assets/style.css
assets/main.js
assets/sub_dir/example.ts

For example, use $root for your index file and have an ‘assets’ container then you can batch upload to that assets container. If you need more subdirectories under assets, the files in that container can use slashes (‘sub_dir/example.ts’ would be the file name for example).
