Linter rule - artifacts parameters

This rule verifies whether the artifacts parameters are defined correctly. The following conditions must be met to pass the test:

• If you provide one parameter (either _artifactsLocation or _artifactsLocationSasToken), you must provide the other.
• _artifactsLocation must be a string.
• If _artifactsLocation has a default value, it must be either deployment().properties.templateLink.uri or a raw URL for its default value.
• _artifactsLocationSasToken must be a secure string.
• If _artifactsLocationSasToken has a default value, it must be an empty string.
• If a referenced module has an _artifactsLocation or _artifactsLocationSasToken parameter, a value must be passed in for those parameters, even if they have default values in the module.

Linter rule code

Use the following value in the Bicep configuration file to customize rule settings:

artifacts-parameters

Solution

The following example fails this test because _artifactsLocationSasToken is missing:

@description('The base URI where artifacts required by this template are located including a trailing \'/\'')
param _artifactsLocation string = deployment().properties.templateLink.uri

...

The next example fails this test because _artifactsLocation must be either deployment().properties.templateLink.uri or a raw URL when the default value is provided, and the default value of _artifactsLocationSasToken isn't an empty string.

@description('The base URI where artifacts required by this template are located including a trailing \'/\'')
param _artifactsLocation string = 'something'

@description('SAS Token for accessing script path')
@secure()
param _artifactsLocationSasToken string = 'something'

...

This example passes this test.

@description('The base URI where artifacts required by this template are located including a trailing \'/\'')
param _artifactsLocation string = deployment().properties.templateLink.uri

@description('SAS Token for accessing script path')
@secure()
param _artifactsLocationSasToken string = ''

...
