Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate - Azure Function - Given Key not present dictionary

PnP.PowerShell 0.3.30 I have created a modules folder inside the Azure function and uploaded the files for the latest build.

When calling Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate in an Azure Function which has the following ClientSidePages element (see below) I receive an error stating “ERROR: The given key was not present in the dictionary.Exception :Type : System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundExceptionTargetSite”

If I remove the ClientSidePages elements from the template and re-run the Azure Function it completes without any errors.

Running the same code on my machine and calling Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate with the original template, which includes the ClientSitePages element, works successfully without any issues. The only difference in the code between running locally and in the Azure function is on Connect-PnPOnline, locally I use PnPManagementShell and in the Azure function I am using ClientId, Thumbprint and Tenant.

<pnp:ClientSidePages> <pnp:ClientSidePage PromoteAsNewsArticle="false" PromoteAsTemplate="false" Overwrite="true" Layout="Home" EnableComments="false" Title="Home" ThumbnailUrl="" PageName="Home.aspx"> <pnp:Header Type="Default" LayoutType="FullWidthImage" TextAlignment="Center" ShowTopicHeader="false" ShowPublishDate="false" TopicHeader="" AlternativeText="" Authors="" AuthorByLineId="-1" /> <pnp:Sections> <pnp:Section Order="1" Type="OneColumn"> <pnp:Controls> <pnp:CanvasControl WebPartType="Text" ControlId="247bcd25-a96b-4c2d-a93e-5c0d2b792e21" Order="1" Column="1"> <pnp:CanvasControlProperties> <pnp:CanvasControlProperty Key="Text" Value="&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Azure Created Site&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;" /> </pnp:CanvasControlProperties> </pnp:CanvasControl> </pnp:Controls> </pnp:Section> </pnp:Sections> </pnp:ClientSidePage> </pnp:ClientSidePages>

The error message in the Azure Function is:

We fixed this issue in the upcoming nightly release of PnP PowerShell, version 0.3.33-nightly

Regarding Fiddler I will try and get this done today if I can.

With regards to the auth model being used do you mean which parameter set am I using with Connect-PnPOnline? Just in case I am using Tenant, Thumbprint and ClientId.

Apologies if that is not what you were looking for.
