Why do Schematics workspaces create using the API/UI/CLI fails?

The Schematics create workspace fails when you attempt to create using the API by using following CURL command.

curl --request POST --url https://cloud.ibm.com/schematics/workspaces -H "Authorization: Bearer scfQ" -d '{"name":"test_api","type": ["terraform_v0.12"],"location": "eu-de","description": "via api","resource_group": "5e1f06f5b2b24a319f6cd5be86f531dd","tags": [],"template_repo": {"url": "https://github.ibm.com/Rise-with-SAP/iac-hec-sap"},"template_data": [{"folder": ".","type": "terraform_v0.12","variablestore": []}]}'

When Schematics runs the CURL command, an error state Schematics cannot find the complete information in the payload. And the workspace create is marked with Bad request message.

"messageid": "M1008",
"message": "Bad request. Check that the information you entered in the payload is complete and formatted correctly in JSON.",
"statuscode": 400
}

Verify your CURL or the payload contains that the location and the url are pointing to the same region where you want to create or update the workspace.

For example

  • For creating workspace in US region: Use location as us-east or us-south and url as https://us-south.schematics.cloud.ibm.com/ or https://us-east.schematics.cloud.ibm.com/. By default https://cloud.ibm.com/schematics/workspaces points to https://cloud.ibm.com/schematics/overview endpoint.
  • For workspace in the EU region: Use location as eu-de or eu-gb and url as https://eu-de.schematics.cloud.ibm.com and https://eu-gb.schematics.cloud.ibm.com endpoint.
