Intermittent "User cannot be found" error when calling ApplyProvisioningTemplate

anthonywhite opened this issue · comments

We have a durable .Net 6.x Azure function that orchestrates site creation and the application of one or more PnP Xml templates to the new site. We are seeing an occasional (1 or 2% of time) User cannot be found Exception when executing the ApplyProvisioningTemplate method. This happens in both test and production tenants. Call stack and trace are below. Anyone else seen this before?

Possibly related to pnp/powershell#2301 ...

Though I am not deleting and re-creating sites!

commented

Once this has happened on a site, it appears that the template can never be applied after that - fails again and again - as if some corruption has occurred in the site

commented

Have tried an Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate rather than running inside our function. Same error message. Below is the Trace Log - seems to happen right at the top when trying to apply the Security element...

commented

After some intensive trial and error tracing/debugging on this issue, found that the combination of:

  • a PnP template that creates SharePoint groups that have their owner set to the Site Owners group
  • and applying that template immediately after site creation

will occasionally fail due to the Site Owners group being asynchronously created by a separate process from creation, and sometimes taking longer than usual, hence not being resolvable at the moment the template adds a group

remedy seems to be to delay between site create and template apply, or custom code to check for Owners group visibility before proceeding to template.

Recording this in case of interest to others.
