JsonSerializationException on breaking changes pass

[annatisch]

The "Breaking Changes" check for this PR is failing with the following somewhat cryptic error:

Executing : autorest --input-file=specification/deploymentmanager/resource-manager/Microsoft.DeploymentManager/preview/2018-09-01-preview/deploymentmanager.json --output-artifact=swagger-document.json --output-file=deploymentmanager --output-folder=/tmp/resolved/specification/deploymentmanager/resource-manager/Microsoft.DeploymentManager/preview/2018-09-01-preview

Unhandled Exception: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'AutoRest.Swagger.Model.Operation' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.

There was a breaking change in the PR (one property was renamed) so I would expect it to fail - but that was the only change (apart from descriptions) so I'm not sure what caused this error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
