Workspace parameter file not working.

[rubeste]

Hello,

A few days ago I encountered a problem when I wanted to use a workspace specific Parameter file. What happens is that when I run the workflow it fails the deployment due to missing parameter files. After some Debugging I found the problem.
The problamatic code can be found in the second line of the AttemptDeployment function:

function AttemptDeployment($path, $parameterFile, $deploymentName, $templateObject) {
    Write-Host "[Info] Deploying $path with deployment name $deploymentName"
    $isValid = IsValidTemplate $path $templateObject  <-- this line
    if (-not $isValid) {
        return $false
    }
    ...

Looking at the line or inside the IsValidTemplate function we can see that it doesn't obtain the parameter file that goes with the given template.

To fix this you need to modify the script a bit:
IsValidTemplate

function IsValidTemplate($path, $templateObject, $parameterFile) {
    Try {
        if (DoesContainWorkspaceParam $templateObject) {
            if($parameterFile)
            {
                Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile $path -TemplateParameterFile $parameterFile -workspace $WorkspaceName
            }
            else{
                Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile $path -workspace $WorkspaceName
            }
        }
        else {
            if($parameterFile)
            {
                Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile $path -TemplateParameterFile $parameterFile
            }
            else{
                Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -TemplateFile $path
            }
        }

        return $true
    }
    Catch {
        Write-Host "[Warning] The file $path is not valid: $_"
        return $false
    }
}

AttemptDeployment

function AttemptDeployment($path, $parameterFile, $deploymentName, $templateObject) {
    Write-Host "[Info] Deploying $path with deployment name $deploymentName"

    $isValid = IsValidTemplate $path $templateObject $parameterFile
    if (-not $isValid) {
        return $false
    }
    ...

I have no clue where I can report this bug so I just post it here.

Thanks for the solution. I sat with this problem for hours and couldn't figure out why my deployments failed
