Azure ARM Template different Resource Group Dependency Issue












0















I have a template that deploys a new template in a dedicated resource group for VNETs. I want to deploy a network interface in a subnet of the VNET, but put the network interface in its own separate resource group. When I run the template I receive the following error. I am sure it is a dependency issue, but the dependsOn parameter is not working for me... any ideas?

          You need to add:



          "dependsOn": [
          "vnetNestedTemplate"
          ]


          to the second deployment. in the template you can only depend on sources that are in the same template. since you are invoking a nested deployment, its not in the same template (but in the nested template).



          ps. maybe you are just showing an over simplified example, but there is no point in using nested deployment (ESPECIALLY INLINE) for this.

          pps. i'd suggest against using INLINE nested deployments, they really have their weird mechanics

          You need to add:



          "dependsOn": [
          "vnetNestedTemplate"
          ]


          to the second deployment. in the template you can only depend on sources that are in the same template. since you are invoking a nested deployment, its not in the same template (but in the nested template).



          ps. maybe you are just showing an over simplified example, but there is no point in using nested deployment (ESPECIALLY INLINE) for this.

          pps. i'd suggest against using INLINE nested deployments, they really have their weird mechanics
