I want to validate my ARM template and so i run the below command :

Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName PallabDev -TemplateFile .\UBUNTU_DEV.json -TemplateParameterFile .\UBUNTU_DEV_Param.json

I get the below error with the above command :

Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Invalid property identifier character: #. Path '', line 2, position
2.
At line:1 char:1

Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName PallabDev -Template ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment], JsonReaderException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Cmdlets.Implementation.TestAzu
reResourceGroupDeploymentCmdlet

Any Idea why this error is coming and how to fix it.

Thanks for the post! Looking at your error message, there might be an invalid property at line 2 within your ARM template.

Error:
Test-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Invalid property identifier character: #. Path '', line 2, position 2.

If possible, are you able to provide some screenshots or a snippet of your ARM template?

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time!
