Cannot add image extensions to campaign in batch operation

[Mihály Balás]

Hello,

We have a large-scale application which deploys hundreds of campaigns daily. We are currently trying to incorporate logic which adds Image extensions to Search campaigns based on some business criteria.

Our application deploys the campaigns in a batch operation. I have tried to implement the image extension creation as per the example found in the Github repository, obviously with some modifications due to batch processing. However, I get the following error message every time I run the code:

MutateError, { "stringValue": "" }, Resource was not found., mutate_operations[69].extension_feed_item_operation.create.image_feed_item.image_asset

I double checked and made sure that the field in question is in fact set to the correct value (and not an empty string, as indicated by the error message). I even turned on request-response trace logging and examined the request, but the value was correctly set there too.

I have tried to run the same operation but without the batch: deploy the campaign in the batch, and after it has been created, add the image extension. This works as expected, but it adds unnecessary complexity to our application to do some operations in batch and some not in batch.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Can the image extension creation be expected to work in a batch? I can provide detailed request-response traces in private if that helps.

Regards,

Mihaly
