Minimal steps to reproduce

launch template on Visual Studio

Any log messages given by the failure

There are errors in deployment json file: data.modulesContent.$edgeAgent['properties.desired'].modules['camera-capture'].settings.createOptions should be string

Expected/desired behavior

To upload correctly

OS and Version?

Linux 19.0 and Visual Studio Code (Jan 2020 release)

Versions

Mention any other details that might be useful

I think you need to make the details like this... "{\"HostConfig\":{\"PortBindings\":{\"5012/tcp\":[{\"HostPort\":\"5012\"}]},\"Binds\":[\"/dev/video0:/dev/video0\"],\"Devices\":[{\"PathOnHost\":\"/dev/video0\",\"PathInContainer\":\"/dev/video0\",\"CgroupPermissions\":\"mrw\"}]}}" Or something that works and looks nice (very hard to see what is going on in that string). Also I think the file needs to be in a folder named config.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Hey @PeterHedley94, Did you use the deployment.template.json file or the deployment.json one? You should start from the deployment.template.json file and generate the deployment.json file from there (using right click > generate manifest) and then use the deployment.json file to make your deployment (right-click > create deployment for single device)

Thank you, new to iot edge and visual studio extensions. Closing now as is not a bug.
