Action is rendering empty template and parameter files, when using the validate operation.

[cmendible]

Action is rendering empty templates when using the validate operation.

When using code and workflows from the following repo: https://github.com/cmendible/azure_synapse_notebook_tests

And using the validate operation:

- name: Validate
        uses: Azure/Synapse-workspace-deployment@V1.7.0
        with:
          TargetWorkspaceName: "cfmcfm"
          operation: "validate"

      - name: Upload Artifacts
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: synapse-artifacts
          path: ./ExportedArtifacts

The resulting template and parameter files are empty.

Seems there is an issue parsing the resource types. This is a sample output from the worflow logs:

@cmendible You are missing ArtifactsFolder parameter.

[cmendible]

@lordozb Please reopoen since adding the ArtifactsFolder parameter does not help.

[lordozb]

Please confirm if you are providing correct path. For more help kindly raise a support ticket on azure portal

[cmendible]

Issue was that I was using the root folder of the repo for my files and folders and also the synapse data. Once I moved the synapse data to its own folder (i.e. workspace) and configured the ArtifactsFolder to use it everything started to work.

Thanks for your help!
