Azure Devops AzureCLI@2 az bicep build Can't Find bicepConfig.json

Question

I'm running a Azure Devops AzureCLI@2 step that compiles my main.bicep file before I put it in an artifact to deploy that infrastructure later.

I'm getting an error that the defined modules in my bicepConfig.json file are not being found.

Here is my pipeline YAML

  - job: publish_bicep
    displayName: Publish Bicep Template
    pool:
      vmImage: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - checkout: self
    
    - task: AzureCLI@2
      name: validate_bicep
      displayName: Validate Bicep
      inputs:
        azureSubscription: ${{ parameters.subscriptionsId }}
        scriptType: pscore
        scriptLocation: inlineScript
        powerShellErrorActionPreference: stop
        failOnStandardError: false
        inlineScript: |
          ls $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/environment
          az bicep build --file $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/environment/main.bicep

    - task: CopyFiles@2
      displayName: Copying Bicep Templates
      inputs:
        SourceFolder: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)
        Contents: |
          environment/*.bicep
          environment/*.json
        TargetFolder: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)

    - publish: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
      artifact: bicepTemplates

And here are the errors I'm getting

Answer 1

Fixed this by changing ubuntu-latest to windows-latest.

I suspect it might have something to do with the weird casing I used when naming the file (bicepConfig.json instead of bicepconfig.json) that Ubuntu can't handle, and Azure DevOps won't let me change it now that the camel casing is checked in.

Either way, changing the vmImage fixed this for me.
