ARMTemplate dev deployment error: InvalidContentLink LinkedTemplate format (PoweShell Script)

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to do a DEV deployment to STG environment.
This is the structure I've run for the release deployment:

The first issue I had was a resources limit exceeded:

Then I decided to move to LinkedTemplate format, with one master file referencing 48 child files.

Templates path:

With this approach, this error occurred:

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Thank you in advance.

I tried it without using the parameter file and an absolute path readable by azure and it didn't work either. So finally I used the Azure PowerShell task to deploy from DEV to STG and then with a trigger to PRD. The script reads all existing ARMTemplate in the working folder, it overrides the factoryName to the higher environment , and then deploys them in order following the dependencies from 0 to max. AzurePS_deployment_script

for ($num = 0; $num -lt $max_value; $num++ ){
    Write-Host "Deploying ArmTemplate_$num.json"
    $deploymentFilePath = "$scriptPath\ArmTemplate_$num.json"
    #Read json template, override the previous dataFactoryName and write into the same json template file  
    (Get-Content $deploymentFilePath).Replace("bi-dev-datafactory", $dataFactoryName) | Set-Content $deploymentFilePath
    #Deploy command
    New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -Name $dataFactoryName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -TemplateFile $deploymentFilePath -verbose
}

Hello @Vicent Dolz and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
That last message is saying you need to write out the path explicitly without parameters, I think.
