Npm run build validate error for data factory validation

Question

I was able to validate and publish the ARM templates successfully from my collab branch in ADF. However, when I try to do it via yaml pipeline, it fails at npm run build validate with the error "Activity Execute Synapse notebook has the following validation error: azure synapse analytics linked service required'. It provides a link to the ADF to correct the validation errors but there are no validation errors which show up in the ADF. I do have the Azure Synapse Analytics (Artifacts) linked service created to execute synapse notebook from ADF. Wondering if there is any known issue with the Synapse Artifacts linked service as it was recently added to ADF

Hello @Sunita ,

Welcome to the MS Q&A platform.

As per the public doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/cicd/continuous-integration-delivery#use-the-synapse-workspace-deployment-task

“In Azure Synapse, unlike in Data Factory, some artifacts aren't Resource Manager resources. You can't use the ARM template deployment task to deploy Azure Synapse artifacts. Instead, use the Synapse workspace deployment task.”

And this should be regardless of using ADO(pipelines or release pipelines) or Github (Actions).

You can set up git integration for the artifacts deployment using the synapse deployment task or You may use the Synapse REST API or PowerShell.

Please refer to the below document that provides guidance on how to use the API.
