Issue Description

Would really love to use this task to run a deployment with the -WhatIf switch. Would it be possible to add this as an option to the task? Thanks.

Yes, we are waiting for a long time for that feature! It's reeeeealy needed!

Would still like this too

@Manbearpiet to be honest, we switched to PowerShell deployment. It's faster and we have more flexibility in the deployment configuration. I'm recommending this approach :)

Yeah we use CLI, but still would be a nice feature to have :-)

Oh, yes please! ... I'd really like this feature.

[PiotrWachulec]

@geik I just moved to clean PS deployment :) It's easier and faster :)

Not stale ... just no response from Microsoft in over 180 days :(

This would be a huge help for newcomers to Azure ARM/BICEP infrastructure management. Being able to easily gauge the result of a deployment, instead of "muck around and find out", eases a lot of the worry about breaking something, and the (less confident) people this would help the most likely don't have the coding skills to build PowerShell deployment wrappers for their projects. Having a deploymentMode: 'what-if' would be optimal.

[PolkageistHS]

2+ years and no response. This would be very helpful for me as well.

[nnellanspdl]

2.5 years since opening this issue. I'm going to say this is probably never happening ☹️

[denys-artiukhov]

Would be very helpful to have this feature!

[mischa69]

Please, with sugar on it :-) Github azure/bicep-deploy@v1 already supports this function
