ERROR: Unable to parse parameter json file when trying to deploy bicep with GitHub Actions Workflow

Question

I have been trying to deploy my bicep using parameters.json file privided in the inlineScript as shown below :

      - name: deploy
        uses: Azure/cli@v1
        with:
          azcliversion: "2.30.0"
          inlineScript: |
            az deployment group create \
              --resource-group my-resource-group \
              --name deploy-${{ github.run_id }} \
              --template-file ./Deployment/test.bicep \
              --parameters @./Deployment/azuredeploy.parameters.json \

But It keeps giving me a parse error

Starting script execution via docker image mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.30.0
ERROR: Unable to parse parameter: ./Deployment/azuredeploy.parameters.json

I have followed the instructions provided by github here and the error persists.

And my paramters json file is also correctly formatted :

{
    "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
    "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
    "parameters": {
        "location": {
            "value": "eastus"
        },
        "storageAccountName": {
            "value": "yourstorageaccountname"
        },
        "publicNetworkAccess": {
            "value": "Enabled"
        },
        "allowBlobPublicAccess": {
            "value": true
        },
        "allowSharedKeyAccess": {
            "value": true
        },
        "networkAclsDefaultAction": {
            "value": "Allow"
        },
        "dnsEndpointType": {
            "value": "Standard"
        },
        "keySource": {
            "value": "Microsoft.Storage"
        },
        "encryptionEnabled": {
            "value": true
        },
        "keyTypeForTableAndQueueEncryption": {
            "value": "Account"
        },
        "infrastructureEncryptionEnabled": {
            "value": false
        },
        "isContainerRestoreEnabled": {
            "value": false
        },
        "containerSoftDeleteRetentionDays": {
            "value": 7
        },
        "isShareSoftDeleteEnabled": {
            "value": true
        },
        "shareSoftDeleteRetentionDays": {
            "value": 7
        }
    }
}

And here is the complete workflow for better debugging:

Answer 1

If the path to parameters json file is incorrect it'd throw en error saying Unable to parse json which is confusing and very misguiding while the actual cause is that the file doesn't exist on that path. Correcting the path-to-json file resolves the issue.
