Parameter file token replacement

[nathanfranz]

How can the token replacement for the parameter files be achieved before running template deployment through Azure Powershell or CLI? There is a Convert-TokensInFile.ps1 script in the repo. Can this be used to update parameter files and then run a deployment through local command line?

Hey @nathanfranz that would be a way. But I can do you one better: You can use the Test-ScriptLocally.ps1 script to mimic the pipeline - including the token replacement.

See the following example:

. '.\ResourceModules\utilities\tools\Test-ModuleLocally.ps1'

$TestModuleLocallyInput = @{
    templateFilePath           = '.\ResourceModules\arm\Microsoft.CognitiveServices\accounts\deploy.bicep'
    parameterFilePath          = '.\ResourceModules\arm\Microsoft.CognitiveServices\accounts\.parameters\speech.parameters.json'
    PesterTest                 = $false
    ValidationTest             = $false
    DeploymentTest             = $true
    ValidateOrDeployParameters = @{
        Location          = 'westeurope'
        ResourceGroupName = 'validation-rg'
        SubscriptionId    = 'a7439831-1111-1111-1111-4aa863c96556'
        ManagementGroupId = '3d9faf2f-1111-1111-1111-156ee64ba23b'
        RemoveDeployment  = $false
    }
    AdditionalTokens           = @{
        deploymentSpId = 'e58511af-1111-1111-1111-6a10271cfb83'
        tenantId       = '449fbe1d-1111-1111-1111-4fd5cf25b014'
    }
}
