PSRule failing on pipeline task

[maxricketts]

Deploying the same pipeline to two differenet clients i get the below two errors on both. On one client PSRule will still run and give me a pass score and relevant fixes etc.

And the other one will not give me anything.

Should be pretty much two identical deployments.

After the PSRule stage, it deploys with out trouble into azure.

Az CLI and Bicep to the latest versions as of 9th March 2023

Using PSRule v2.7.0 Using PSRule.Rules.Azure v1.25.0

@maxricketts This seems to be related to a required/ mandatory parameter called HostPoolName. Is that incorrect?

[maxricketts]

@BernieWhite - Sorry will this need defining in the PSRule yaml under Azure_Parameter_Defaults

[BernieWhite]

@maxricketts Ok great. So confirming the issue is:

You are defining as value for HostPoolName (which is a required parameter) in AZURE_PARAMETER_DEFAULTS but it is not working.

@BernieWhite - Please close this ticket. Error at my end.
