Fabric CLI help for the ln command
I am attempting to use the fab ln command to create shortcuts to ADLS Gen2 files. I have tried variations of the following command, but with the same, non-descriptive error message as the result.
fab ln a********.Workspace/Subro_External_Files.Lakehouse/Tables/ext_arbitrationworkparty.Shortcut --type adlsGen2 -i '{"location": "https://********.dfs.core.windows.net/", "subpath": "raw/subrogation/crm/subro_assist/arbitration/arbitrationworkparty/incoming", "connectionId": "********"}'
I have tried using the connection name as well as the GUID for the connectionID parameter. I have tried the location parameter with and without the trailing slash as well as the subpath with a beginning slash or no slash at the beginning. I have verified that the subpath string and all other items are accurate. Is there another parameter that I need to specify that is not listed in the example found here: Shortcut Examples - fabric-cli?
I am using version 1.6.1 of Fab CLI.
I found a solution to this after much trial and error. The command ultimately needed the GUID of a different connectionID (i had tried the name of the different connection but that did not work, only the GUID) that had a broader user list and adjustments to the location and subpath strings.
fab ln a********.Workspace/Subro_External_Files.Lakehouse/Tables/ext_arbitrationworkparty.Shortcut --type adlsGen2 -i '{"location":"https://********.dfs.core.windows.net/raw","subpath":"/subrogation/crm/subro_assist/arbitration/arbitrationworkparty/incoming","connectionId": "[GUID]"}'

Can you try creating the shortcut in the /Files area rather than /Tables? shortcut to raw files should be created under Files rather than Tables.
a********.Workspace/Subro_External_Files.Lakehouse/Files/ext_arbitrationworkparty.Shortcut
Changing the location of the shortcut from Tables to Files did not change the result that I am getting. I received the same error message as I listed in my original post.
