Nondeterministic behaviour for tenant.push_to_apic - "code 822, naming property ('fvAp.name') is not set." about acitoolkit HOT 4 CLOSED

This is a documented behavior of the APIC REST API that needs to be accounted for in the acitoolkit. The REST API guide clearly states that the attributes need to come first in JSON, but this was not added/updated until I ran across it with the cobra SDK recently. This can usually be done by sorting the keys.

@mtimm Is this also required for all the child json 'dicts'?

from acitoolkit.

@dnq yes it is. It's a general requirement of the APIC REST API due to how the JSON is derived from XML. It could technically be corrected in the APIC to remove the restriction but the effort involved was deemed too great and the potential fallout risk too high to undertake the effort.

Edit: I should probably also note that if your managed object has children, the "attributes" field is required even if it is empty.

Thank you for the clarification.
Currently the dict's are correct for all child entries.
