I am creating an azure marketplace offer using ARM template. I am creating a Linux VM using my ARM template. I need to run a custom configuration script post deploy. I followed the example provided in the azure quickstart repo.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/100-marketplace-sample When I try to validate the template i get the following error.
{ "error": {
"additionalInfo": [
{
"info": {
"lineNumber": 166,
"linePosition": 28,
"path": "resources[1].type"
},
"type": "TemplateViolation"
}
],
"code": "InvalidTemplate",
"details": null,
"message": "Deployment template validation failed: 'The template resource 'configScript' at line '166' and column '28' is not valid. The type property is invalid. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#resources for usage details.'.",
"target": null
},
"properties": null
}
The script part of my template looks like
{
"type": "extensions",
"name": "configScript",
"apiVersion": "2018-04-01",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[parameters('vmName')]"
],
"properties": {
"publisher": "Microsoft.Azure.Extensions",
"type": "CustomScript",
"typeHandlerVersion": "2.0",
"autoUpgradeMinorVersion": true,
"settings": {
"fileUris": [
"[uri(parameters('_artifactsLocation'), concat('scripts/copyfilefromazure.sh', parameters('_artifactsLocationSasToken')))]"
]
},
"protectedSettings": {
"commandToExecute": "[concat('bash ', variables('scriptFileName'), ' ', variables('scriptArgs'))]"
}
}
},
The error means that it is a nested resource (the config object is nested inside the site object) the name needs to reflect this. So instead of config the name should be something like virtualMachines/extensions
. I also needed to add the dependsOn
section.
"dependsOn": ["[concat('Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/', concat(variables('vmName'),copyindex()))]"]
Here's the template that validated successfully:
{
"name": "config-app",
"type": "Extensions",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"apiVersion": "2019-03-01",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/', concat(variables('vmName'),copyindex()))]"
],
"tags": {
"displayName": "config-app"
},
"properties": {
"publisher": "Microsoft.Azure.Extensions",
"type": "CustomScript",
"typeHandlerVersion": "2.0",
"autoUpgradeMinorVersion": true,
"settings": {
"skipDos2Unix":false,
"timestamp":123456789
},
"protectedSettings": {
"commandToExecute": "<command-to-execute>",
"script": "<base64-script-to-execute>",
"storageAccountName": "<storage-account-name>",
"storageAccountKey": "<storage-account-key>",
"fileUris": ["https://.."]
}
}
}
