Unable to parse parameter: azuredeploy.parameters.json in Azure

Question

Hi When I try to deploy storage Account after creating azuredeploy.json and azuredeploy.parameter.json using VS code I am getting the below error message

"cli.azure.cli.core.azclierror: Unable to parse parameter: azuredeploy.parameters.json az_command_data_logger: Unable to parse parameter: azuredeploy.parameters.json"

I used az deployment group create --resource-group az204-arm-rg --template-file D:\Azure\azuredeploy.json --parameters azuredeploy.parameter command in the terminal.

azuredeploy.json file has

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {"storageAccountName": {
        "type": "string",
        "metadata": {
            "description": "Storage Account Name",
            "minLength": 3,
            "maxLength": 24
        },

    }},

    "variables": {},

        "sku": {
            "name": "Premium_LRS",
            "tier": "Premium"
        }
    }],
    "outputs":{}

}

azuredeploy.parameters.json has

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "storageAccountName": {
            "value": "az204storageacctarm" // TODO: Fill in parameter value
        }
    }

I used az deployment group create --resource-group az204-arm-rg --template-file D:\Azure\azuredeploy.json --parameters azuredeploy.parameter command in the terminal

It seems you have already filled all required parameters in your azuredeploy.parameter.json file .

The command you are trying to use by without providing parameter file path , try to use the below suggested command to deploy with parameter file by giving the path of parameter file.

e.g:-

az deployment group create -n TestDeployment -g resourcegroup --template-file "C:\Users\source\repos\yourtemplatearm.json" --parameters "C:\users\source\repos\azuredeploy.parameters.json"

NOTE:- Before deploy template make sure that you have logged in using az login

Below are steps:-

Default template that we tried to use and deploy .
