'Invalid Scope' Error after running Invoke-PnPTenantTemplate

[TylerDurham]

We are using PnP.PowerShell to orchestrate the creation of a Teams team and a SharePoint site. Our script

1. Creates a Team (Successfully)
2. Uploads a SP Template (Successfully)
3. Creates a SharePoint site from a Template (Unsuccessfully)

We then get a dialog with the following error:

"AADSTS70011: The provided request must include a 'scope' input parameter. The provided value for the input parameter 'scope' is not valid. The scope https://graph.microsoft.com/ openid profile offline_access is not valid. The scope format is invalid. Scope must be in a valid URI form https://example/scope or a valid Guid <guid/scope>."

We are able to revert back to PnP.PowerShell 2.4.0 and the script runs fine, but when we use PnP.PowerShell 2.5.0 or higher, we get the above error.

Is this a bug or a change how PnP.PowerShell/PnP.Framework work in later versions? Please advise. Thanks!

P.S.: We turned on PnP tracing, and see the following:

@TylerDurham just spotted this, looks possibly similar to my #1080 ...any luck with workarounds? Even going back to PnP.Framework 1.14 doesn't seem to fix our problem.

I am experiencing a similar issue when running get-PnpSiteTemplate -Out spsite.xml -PersistBrandingFiles -PersistPublishingFiles

on the steps Extracting Template from https://company.sharepoint.com/sites. [Web Settings

a new auth window opens and gives me the same error

AADSTS70011: The provided request must include a 'scope' input parameter. The provided value for the input parameter 'scope' is not valid. The scope https://graph.microsoft.com openid profile offline_access is not valid. The scope format is invalid. Scope must be in a valid URI form https://example/scope or a valid Guid <guid/scope>.

I was able to bypass the error by using non-interactive auth using a cert in my azure enterprise app.

Any news on this issue? I can't use a certificate to bypass this.

I also have encountered this issue using Get-PnPSiteTemplate.

I did'nt need the WebSettings so I got my template by excluding WebSettings

Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out 'output.xml' -ExcludeHandlers WebSettings
