Bicep error/warning code - BCP036

This error/warning occurs when you assign a value to a property whose expected data type is not compatible with that of the assigned value.

Error/warning description

The property <property-name> expected a value of type <data-type> but the provided value is of type <data-type>.

Solution

Assign a value with the correct data type.

Examples

The following example raises the error because sku is defined as a string, not an integer:

type storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: string
  sku: string
}

param foo storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: 'myStorage'
  sku: 2
}

You can fix the issue by assigning a string value to sku:

type storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: string
  sku: string
}

param foo storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: 'myStorage'
  sku: 'Standard_LRS' 
}
