Why Am I Seeing a Message Indicating an Unsupported Parameter Position or Type?

Background

During a cloud service API call to manage and use your cloud service resources, verifies the validity of your input parameters. Cloud CLI obtains details about all parameters of the API, including the parameter type and position in the request. If the locally cached metadata files are modified, may not be able to correctly parse the API parameter details during the running process. The following error message will be displayed during verification:

• [CLI_ERROR] * is in an incorrect position: *
• [USE_ERROR] Unsupported parameter type: key=*, type=*

Solution

Run cloud meta clear to clear the cached metadata files, and try again.
