ARM template error 'properties.api' is not valid from parameter file? - azure

Question

I have created parameter file for LogicApp project.
When I try to deploy using this parameter file it is giving following error -
Template deployment returned the following errors:
Resource MICROSOFT.WEB/CONNECTIONS 'demo-sbs' failed with message '{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidRequestContent",
"message": "The request content is not valid and could not be deserialized: 'The 'id' property 'aaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaa-aaaaaaaa/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/westeurope/managedApis/servicebus' under 'properties.api' is not valid.'."
}
}'

{
"type": "MICROSOFT.WEB/CONNECTIONS",
"apiVersion": "2016-06-01",
"name": "[parameters('demo-sbs_Connection_Name')]",
"location": "[parameters('logicAppLocation')]",
"properties": {
"api": {
"id": "[concat(parameters('subscriptionId'), '/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/', parameters('logicAppLocation'), '/managedApis/', 'servicebus')]"
},
"displayName": "[parameters('demo-sbs_Connection_DisplayName')]",
"parameterValues": {
"connectionString": "[parameters('demo-sbs_connectionString')]"
}
}
}
the problem is with below line -
when I tried to use parameter for subscriptionId like concat(parameters('subscriptionId') it give above error and if I use concat(subscription().id it works fine.
I want to use parameter for subscriptionId also.

Answer 1

This is the correct syntax for what you are doing:
"api":{
"id":"[concat('/subscriptions/', subscription().subscriptionId, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/', resourceGroup().location, '/managedApis/serviceBus')]"
}

Answer 2

Well, thats because thats not how resource id looks like in azure.
/subscriptions/subscription_guid/resourceGroups/resource_group_name/providers/microsoft.insights/components/resource_name
this is how it looks. to créate it you could use resourceId function. Link
Or you can use concat, but you would need to créate the same string, you can use resourceGroup().id to help you with that.
