Azure staticwebapp not allowing to add config with "&" in value using Azure CLI in terminal

Question

I am using Azure CLI to use the azure. I am trying to create a staticwebapp and later try to add the configuration from CLI.

I tried to run this

az staticwebapp appsettings set -n appname --setting-names MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING="mongodb+srv://anirudha:testing@cluster4340.v45343.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

I am getting error

'w' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I go to portal and seen before &w=majority is added into configuration but this part is not added after &.

I tried to put singlequote and key=("val") but none of them working for me. I found this in azure app config github repo.

Anyone have idea how to make it work from CLI

Is this mistake only here? I mean missing space `appname--setting-names`. It should be `appname --setting-names`. — Krzysztof Madej, Sep 05 '22 at 08:44

--setting-names property accepts the app settings in 'key=value' format as mentioned here in this documentation of az staticwebapp app settings set cmdlet.

You need to change the above shared cmdlet to the below:

az staticwebapp appsettings set -n <staticWebAppName> --setting-names 'MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING=<AppsettingValue>'

I have tested this and it is working fine from my end Here is the sample output screenshot for your reference:

Updated Answer:

Alternatively, you can use this PowerShell cmdlet (New-AzStaticWebAppSetting) to update the app settings of the static web app

New-AzStaticWebAppSetting -ResourceGroupName resourceGroup -Name staticweb01 -AppSetting @{'function01' = 'value01'; 'function02' = 'value02' }

Actually I am using it from powershell on windows, I tried with Cmd as well. Both are failing. I updated the post with powershell error – Anirudha Gupta Sep 06 '22 at 03:04
@AnirudhaGupta, As mentioned in my answer can you pass the --setting-names in single quotes as shown below: https://i.imgur.com/X7MVh3V.png – VenkateshDodda Sep 06 '22 at 05:08
I tried that way too in powershell. I have attached screenshot. Please check – Anirudha Gupta Sep 06 '22 at 05:27
@AnirudhaGupta the command execution got successful can check your static web app configuration whether were you able to see those app setting or not – VenkateshDodda Sep 06 '22 at 05:28
Yes, but only partial value is there, everything after & is not there in config – Anirudha Gupta Sep 06 '22 at 07:36
