Cannot determine where this terraform apply error occurs - azure

Question

I'm getting the following error when I do a terraform apply, Error: validating Template Deployment "uksfe-dev-api-office365" (Resource Group "app-sfe-dev-eastus"): requesting validating: resources.DeploymentsClient#Validate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=400 -- Original Error: Code="InvalidRequestContent" Message="The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Error converting value \"sfe-dev-api-office365\" to type 'Azure.Deployments.Core.Definitions.DeploymentParameterDefinition'. Path 'properties.parameters.connections_office365_name', line 1, position 1590.'.".
Here is the resource the error references:
resource "azurerm_resource_group_template_deployment" "office365" {
name = format( "%s%s-%s-api-office365", var.sfe_names.market, var.sfe_names.product_group, var.sfe_names.environment)
resource_group_name = module.resource_group.name
template_content = file("./refScript/logicapp/Office365.json")
deployment_mode = "Incremental"
parameters_content = jsonencode({
"connections_office365_name" = format( "%s-%s-api-office365", var.sfe_names.product_group, var.sfe_names.environment),
"subscription_id" = data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id
})
}
And here is the ARM template file referenced by the resource shown above, Office365.json:
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

},

"method": "get"
}
]
}
}
]
}
I believe the last part of the error message tells where the error occurred, i.e. Path 'properties.parameters.connections_office365_name', line 1, position 1590.'
Any help would be most appreciated.

Answer 1

The example here shows that parameters are passed to the template like this:
parameters_content = jsonencode({
"vnetName" = {
value = local.vnet_name
}
})
So, your code would need to be modified as follows:
parameters_content = jsonencode({
"connections_office365_name" = { value = format( "%s-%s-api-office365", var.sfe_names.product_group, var.sfe_names.environment) }
"subscription_id" = { value = data.azurerm_subscription.current.subscription_id }
})
