Azure-sdk-for-net: ARM IntelliSense Bug: Use of deployment().name in uniqueString occures Error

Created on 20 Jun 2018 · 2Comments · Source: Azure/azure-sdk-for-net

Hi there,

I discovered some strange behaviour while I wrote an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template with a uniqueString.

The Documentation said that I can create a unique string with calling the uniqueString ARM function and giving them the ResourceGroupId and the DeploymentName like this:

"variables": {
    "mcosDeploymentId": "[uniqueString(resourceGroup().id, deployment().name)]"
  },

But when I wrote that code Visual Studio will mark the ".name" as an error with the following Error Message:

A property of 'deployment' must be one of the following: templateLink, template, parameters, mode, provisioningState

This is some strange behaviour because I use the deployment().name as an parameter. So I tried to deploy the template via Azure Portal and everything worked as expected.

So there might be an Issue within the IntelliSense of the Azure SDK for Visual Studio.
