Test cases for createUiDefinition.json
This article describes the tests that are run with the template test toolkit for createUiDefinition.json files. The examples include the test names and code samples that pass or fail the tests.
The toolkit includes test cases for Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates) and the main template files named azuredeploy.json or maintemplate.json. When the directory contains a createUiDefinition.json file, specific tests are run for UI controls. For more information about how to run tests or how to run a specific test, see Test parameters.
The createUiDefinition.json file creates custom user-interface (UI) controls using elements and functions.
Verify template parameter allows values
Test name: Allowed Values Should Actually Be Allowed
This test checks that values for each control in createUiDefinition.json are allowed in the main template's parameters. The parameters are mapped by name between the main template and the createUiDefinition.json file.
The main template's parameter must accept the values from the control's allowedValues
. The test also checks that the control is referenced in the createUiDefinition.json outputs
section.
This test checks the main template and createUiDefinition.json file. An example of the createUiDefinition.json file is shown after the main template examples.
The following example fails because the main template's parameter name combo
doesn't match the control's parameter name comboBox
.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"combo": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "two"
}
},
"resources": [],
"outputs": {
"comboBoxOutput": {
"type": "string",
"value": "[parameters('combo')]"
}
}
}
The following example fails because the main template's parameter type int
doesn't accept the control's string
value. And if a main template's parameter defines a defaultValue
it must be a valid value
in the control's allowedValues
.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"comboBox": {
"type": "int",
"defaultValue": 4
}
},
"resources": [],
"outputs": {
"comboBoxOutput": {
"type": "string",
"value": "[parameters('combo')]"
}
}
}
The following example passes because the main template's parameter name matches the control's parameter name. And the template's parameter type is a string
with a defaultValue
that's specified in the control's allowedValues
.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
"parameters": {
"comboBox": {
"type": "string",
"defaultValue": "two"
}
},
"resources": [],
"outputs": {
"comboBoxOutput": {
"type": "string",
"value": "[parameters('comboBox')]"
}
}
}
The createUiDefinition.json file for this example:

}
],
"required": true
},
"visible": true
}
]
}
],
"outputs": {
"comboBox": "[steps('demoComboBox').comboBox]"
}
}
}
Output controls must exist
Test name: Controls In Outputs Must Exist
Controls that are used in the outputs
section must exist in an element elsewhere in createUiDefinition.json. The name referenced in outputs
must match a name used in basics[]
or steps[]
.
The following example fails.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/0.1.2-preview/CreateUIDefinition.MultiVm.json#",

}
],
"steps": [],
"outputs": {
"comboBox": "[basics('comboBox')]"
}
}
}

}
}
Properties must include values
Test name: CreateUIDefinition Must Not Have Blanks
Properties must include values. Required properties must use valid values. Optional properties that are blank should be removed. The test allows blank "basics": []
, "steps": []
, or defaultValue
.
The following example fails because label
, placeholder
, and toolTip
are blank.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/0.1.2-preview/CreateUIDefinition.MultiVm.json#",

"label": "",
"placeholder": "",
"defaultValue": "",
"toolTip": ""
}
],
"steps": [],
"outputs": {
"comboBox": "[basics('comboBox')]"
}
}
}

and toolTip
have values, and placeholder
was removed.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/0.1.2-preview/CreateUIDefinition.MultiVm.json#",
"handler": "Microsoft.Azure.CreateUIDef",

Include control outputs in template parameters
Test name: Outputs Must Be Present In Template Parameters
The test checks that createUiDefinition.json includes an outputs
section. The test also checks that those outputs
are defined in the main template's parameters
section. The names must match because parameters are mapped by name between the createUiDefinition.json and the main template.
This test checks the main template and createUiDefinition.json file. An example of the createUiDefinition.json file is shown after the main template examples.

Virtual machine sizes must match
Test name: VM Sizes Must Match Template
This test checks that the Microsoft.Compute.SizeSelector is in the createUiDefinition.json outputs
and the main template's parameters
section. Main template parameters that specify a defaultValue
must match a value in the control's allowedSizes
.
This test checks the main template and createUiDefinition.json file. An example of the createUiDefinition.json file is shown after the main template examples.
The following example fails because the main template's defaultValue
doesn't match a value in allowedSizes
.
{
"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

"vmSize": {

"defaultValue": "Standard_D9"
}

"location": {
"type": "string",
"value": "[parameters('location')]"
},
"vmSize": {

}
}
}
The following example passes because the main template's defaultValue
matches a value in allowedSizes
.
