Thanks for reporting the issue, @mfaulcon. We'll take a look!

I haven't been able to reproduce this locally. Can you share more details on the error? When you look at the deployment in the Azure Portal, drill down into the nested deployments by clicking on the name of the failed deployment as many times as possible and then share which resource is failing to deploy and the operation details?

The details you see in my original post are the details from the nested deployment. To add further information, in the naming.overrides.jsonc file, I had added overrides for "resourceGroup" and "sqlResourceGroup", among others. This seems to be an issue in application-resources.bicep, line 70, and again in line 277. Once I tried again with the resource groups set to the same value, the deployment completed.

I will note, however, that the execution of create-app-registrations.ps1 failed immediately following - still investigating that.

Update - Not sure why, but in order to make create-app-registrations.ps1 work, I had to add the line below:

# Set defaults
+$global:resourceGroups = @{}
$defaultFrontEndAppRegistrationName = "$(Get-WorkloadName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName)-$(Get-WorkloadEnvironment -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName)-front-webapp-$(Get-WorkloadResourceToken -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName)"
