I have created a simple Azure Bot from a Typescript template from this tutorial. I have tested it in the Bot Framework Emulator and now want to deploy it to Azure. I am trying to follow the instructions here. I get as far as the step "Deploy via ARM template with existing resource group" (I have already created a Resource Group).
So I am trying to run this command from the command line:
az deployment group create --resource-group "<name-of-resource-group>" --template-file "<path-to-template-with-preexisting-rg.json>" --parameters appId="<app-id-from-previous-step>" appSecret="<password-from-previous-step>" botId="<id or bot-app-service-name>" newWebAppName="<bot-app-service-name>" existingAppServicePlan="<name-of-app-service-plan>" appServicePlanLocation="<region-location-name>" --name "<bot-app-service-name>"
I'm getting an error: az deployment: 'group' is not in the 'az deployment' command group. Sure enough when I look at the help for az deployment, there is no group command. There is a create command, but if I remove group I get into a series of other errors which just seem to lead me down a rabbit hole.
In my desperation, I tried installing the BotFrameworkComposer app (Linux) and to create a project from there. It gives me an error Error calling npm to fetch template. Please ensure that node and npm are installed and available on your system. Full error message: Command failed with ENOENT: npm root -g --prefix. So I tried opening the bot resource that I created in the Azure portal using the "Open in Composer" button and nothing opens. So I copied the link from the button into the browser (as it suggests) but the app doesn't open.
I'm getting an error: az deployment: 'group' is not in the 'az deployment' command group. Sure enough when I look at the help for az deployment, there is no group command.
