[BUG]Get-PnpProperty error referring to Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientObject

[sathya-bhat]

Notice

I am trying out 1,PnP.PowerShell and 'Get-PnPProperty' fails for all the new PnP objects. Is this work in progress or this cmdlet will be deprecated?

Expected behavior

Return the property or document that this is not supported.

Actual behavior

Get-PnPProperty: Cannot bind parameter 'ClientObject'. Cannot convert the "PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Model.SPOSite" value of type "PnP.PowerShell.Commands.Model.SPOSite" to type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientObject".

Steps to reproduce behavior

$cui = Connect-PnpOnline -url 'https://x.sharepoint.com/sites/test' -ClientId 'xyz' -ClientSecret 'abc' -ReturnConnection
$ten = Get-PnPTenantSite -Connection $cui -Url 'https://x.sharepoint.com/sites/test'
Get-PnpProperty -Connection $cui -ClientObject $ten -Property 'Template'

What is the version of the Cmdlet module you are running?

1.3.14-nightly

Which operating system/environment are you running PnP PowerShell on?

• [ x] Windows
• [ x] Linux
• MacOS
• Azure Cloud Shell
• Azure Functions
• Other : please specify

Due to changes in the underlying API the Get-PnPTenantSite cmdlet is not returning an CSOM object anymore. Resulting that you cannot retrieve specific properties for that object anymore using Get-PnPProperty which requires an object of type ClientObject (basic CSOM object)

If you want to retrieve the template you do not have to do the Get-PnPProperty call, (nor do you have to use -Connection. The -Connection parameter is only required if you need to handle multiple connections to multiple sites at the same time and want to mix and match connections.)

So, simplified:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://x.sharepoint.com/sites/test" -ClientId 'xyz' -ClientSecret 'abc'
$site = Get-PnPTenantSite -Url 'https://x.sharepoint.com/sites/test'
$template = $site.Template
