[BUG] Microsoft.Azure.Management.ContainerInstance.Models.InstanceView.CurrentState.State is always empty

Library name and version

Assembly Microsoft.Azure.Management.ContainerInstance, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

Describe the bug

I am trying to get the state of a Azure Container Group’s container, here is my code:

` IAzure azure = Microsoft.Azure.Management.Fluent.Azure.Authenticate(azureCredential).WithSubscription(_containerOptions.AzureSubscriptionId); var response = (await client.ContainerGroups.ListByResourceGroupWithHttpMessagesAsync(_containerOptions.ResourceGroup));

        foreach (var containerGroup in response.Body.Where(cg=>cg.ProvisioningState == "Succeeded" && 
            cg.Name.StartsWith(_containerOptions.AzureContainerPrefix, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)))
        {
            If (containerGroup.Containers[0].InstanceView.CurrentState.State == "something")
            {
                   do something
            }

`

Expected behavior

Microsoft.Azure.Management.ContainerInstance.Models.InstanceView.CurrentState.State should return actual state of a container, such as Running, Failed, Terminated, etc

Actual behavior

It returns empty string

Reproduction Steps

deploy a container instance, using helloworld image. use the code above to get the state of that container

Environment

I run that code in Azure function

I think I found the solution to this in another issue (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/35764#issuecomment-1557153832).

@gb-8, can you try this? I am just typing here in github so haven’t tested it is 100% syntactically correct, but you get the idea:

string resourceGroupName = "xxxx";
var client = new ArmClient(new AzureCliCredential());
var subscription = await client.GetSubscriptions().GetAsync("xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx", CancellationToken.None);
var resourceGroup = await subscription.Value.GetResourceGroups().CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    resourceGroupName,
    new ResourceGroupData(AzureLocation.BrazilSouth)
);
var containerGroups = resourceGroup.Value.GetContainerGroups();

var firstContainerGroup = containerGroups.First();

// Getting container group state works as expected
var containerGroupState = firstContainerGroup.Data.ProvisioningState;

// Won't work as instanceView is null
var firstContainerInstanceView = firstContainerGroup.Data.Containers[0].InstanceView;

// Get access to the container data by using GetAsync()
var firstRetreivedContainerGroup = await firstContainerGroup.GetAsync()

// This will work, you can read state from the InstanceView or do whatever else you need from it
var retrievedFirstContainerInstanceView = firstRetreivedContainerGroup.Value.Data.Containers[0].InstanceView;
var containerState = retrievedFirstContainerInstanceView.CurrentState;

The key here is to call .GetAsync() on the containerGroup to load the full data.

I hope it works for you!
