Linter rule - use parent property

When defined outside of the parent resource, you use slashes to include the parent name in the name of the child resource. Setting the full resource name with parent resource name is not recommended. The parent property can be used to simplify the syntax. See Full resource name outside parent.

Linter rule code

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

use-parent-property

Solution

The following example fails this test because of the name values for service and share:

param location string = resourceGroup().location

resource storage 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-02-01' = {
  name: 'examplestorage'
  location: location
  kind: 'StorageV2'
  sku: {
    name: 'Standard_LRS'
  }
}

resource service 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices@2021-02-01' = {
  name: 'examplestorage/default'
  dependsOn: [
    storage
  ]
}

resource share 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/shares@2021-02-01' = {
  name: 'examplestorage/default/exampleshare'
  dependsOn: [
    service
  ]
}

You can fix the problem by using the parent property:

param location string = resourceGroup().location

resource storage 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2021-02-01' = {
  name: 'examplestorage'
  location: location
  kind: 'StorageV2'
  sku: {
    name: 'Standard_LRS'
  }
}

resource service 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices@2021-02-01' = {
  parent: storage
  name: 'default'
}

resource share 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices/shares@2021-02-01' = {
  parent: service
  name: 'exampleshare'
}

You can fix the issue automatically by selecting Quick Fix as shown on the following screenshot:
