Bug with "Parameter Types Should Be Consistent" test

[edwardsp]

I am naming a resource using a property of an object passed as an input parameter to an ARM template and it is causing the 'Parameter Types Should Be Consistent' test to fail.

mainTemplate.bicep

targetScope = 'resourceGroup'

param input object

module module1 './mymodule.bicep' = {
  name: input.module_one // setting to 'moduleOne' works correctly
  params: {
    intext: 'hello'
  }
}

module module2 './mymodule.bicep' = {
  name: 'moduleTwo'
  params: {
    intext: module1.outputs.outtext
  }
}

mymodule.bicep

targetScope = 'resourceGroup'

param intext string

output outtext string = intext

This is the output from arm-ttk:

Setting the name as a string will fix this. But, in my case I am actually setting a resourceGroup name based on an json input.

A workaround for this issue is to create a variable first, e.g.

var module_one = input.module_one

Then use the module_one variable when setting the module name.
