Linter rule - nested deployment template scoping
This linter rule triggers a diagnostic when a Microsoft.Resources/deployments
resource using inner-scoped expression evaluation and contains any references to symbols defined in the parent template.
Linter rule code
Use the following value in the Bicep configuration file to customize rule settings:
nested-deployment-template-scoping
Solution
The following example fails this test because fizz
is defined in the parent template's namespace.
var fizz = 'buzz'
resource nested 'Microsoft.Resources/deployments@2020-10-01' = {
name: 'name'
properties: {
mode: 'Incremental'
expressionEvaluationOptions: {
scope: 'inner'
}
template: {
'$schema': 'https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#'
contentVersion: '1.0.0.0'
resources: [
{
apiVersion: '2022-09-01'
type: 'Microsoft.Resources/tags'
name: 'default'
properties: {
tags: {
tag1: fizz // <-- Error! `fizz` is defined in the parent template's namespace
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
