Bicep error/warning code - BCP040

  • Article

This error/warning occurs when the Bicep compiler can't determine the exact value of an interpolated string key.

Error/warning description

String interpolation is not supported for keys on objects of type <type-definition>.

Solution

Remove string interpolation.

Examples

The following example raises the warning because string interpolation is used for specifying the key sku1:

var name = 'sku'

type storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: string
  sku1: string
}

param foo storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: 'myStorage'
  '${name}1': 'Standard_LRS' 
}

You can fix the issue by adding the missing properties:

var name = 'sku'

type storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: string
  sku1: string
}

param foo storageAccountConfigType = {
  name: 'myStorage'
  sku1: 'Standard_LRS' 
}
