Unable to deploy template spec via Az cli. Throw error 'Template'

[warren-li]

Running

az deployment group create from az cli with --template-spec $id

would throw Error 'template'

Deploy using portal on template spec is fine.

[detienne20]

@warren-li are you using the latest version of az cli that was released 05/06?

Version should be 2.23.0 when running az --version

[warren-li]

@detienne20 yeah tried that same issues, and all is working on 23 April 2021, it only throw this error when we try deploy on 10/05/2021 with the same code base.

Manage to go around the issues, by port all the deployment group create to use arm template to do the template spec deployment.

it work and deploy, and only have minor issues on validation arm bug where there is another open issues from someone on azure devop post using the AzureResourceManagerTemplateDeployment@3 task.

[detienne20]

@warren-li can you please run the command using --debug and share the full output here? Was the template spec created with az cli?
