Azure-cli: Parameter 'resource_group_name' must conform to the following pattern: '^[-\\w\\._\\(\\)]+$'.

[colemickens]

I don't know why I'm getting this:

export RG=colemick-k8s-kube15-test000

az resource group create --name="${RG}" --location=westus2

Name                         Location
---------------------------  ----------
colemick-k8s-kube15-test000  westus2

az resource group deployment create \
   --name "${RG}-${RANDOM}" \
   --template-file './azuredeploy.json' \
   --parameters '@azuredeploy.parameters.json' \
   --resource-group="${RG}"

Parameter 'resource_group_name' must conform to the following pattern: '^[-\\w\\._\\(\\)]+$'.

I'm not a regex guru, but it seems like that should conform...

When I put that regex and your RG-name into http://pythex.org/ it didn't match.

However, this did match: ^[-\w\\._\\(\\)]+$

Is this regex in your azuredeploy template?

[colemickens]

How would that regex be in a template? That error is coming from CLI.

Is that RG name actually disallowed?

[tjprescott]

It looks like this is the problem in the REST API specs:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/master/arm-resources/resources/2016-09-01/swagger/resources.json#L52

This is where your error is coming from. The CLI is simply wrapping the error in a CLIError to display it to you.

[colemickens]

Nice, didn't know that was auto-gen'd too. I can file a bug against the specs repo unless you already are?

[colemickens]

Although, maybe the regex is correct for .NET but you need to do translation in the autogeneration for Python to make it a python compatiable regex? I don't really know...

Opened an issue against the REST-API specs: https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/issues/711

Just had this and was caused by using CRLF endings in my bash script file.

I changed them to LF and the problem was solved.

I figured it out by echoing a variable and seeing it had a \r on the end.
