Description

Describe the bug
When passing -ReportDir option value of current directory as '.\', Invoke-ARI doesn't complete properly.
Errors observed:

  • DiagramLogFile.log about not finding ReportCache and DiagramCache in home/~ directory
  • DiagramCache & ReportCache not created
  • Error in 'locating' given report
  • Final report formatting, tab colors, Graph formats missing or left generic

When providing a full path to -ReportDir, Invoke-ARI executes as expected.

To Reproduce
Command ran:
invoke-ARI -TenantID <tenantID> -IncludeTags -SecurityCenter -ManagementGroup <MgtGrpID> -IncludeCosts -ReportDir '.\' -ReportName <ReportName> -DiagramFullEnvironment -debug
debugOutput.txt

Expected behavior
Errors indicated above will be observed. Script will execute and Excel file will be created. Diagram will not be generated.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented Invoke-ARI command with -ReportDir '.\' and review debugOutput.txt and DiagramLogFile.log. Trace how the -ReportDir entry point resolves the current directory and locates ReportCache and DiagramCache; done when the relative path produces the caches, diagrams, and fully formatted report like a full path.
