ARM Template - DevOps Project

[Zuldajri]

Hello,

I've been trying to update my ARM Template to deploy DevOps Project with the new ARM Template Reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.devops/2019-07-01-preview/pipelines

The idea is to create a new DevOps Organization, create a new project and fire up the demo pipeline.

My ARM Template looks like :

"resources": [
{
"type": "microsoft.visualstudio/account",
"name": "[parameters('accountName')]",
"apiVersion": "2014-02-26",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"properties": {
"operationType": "Create",
"accountName": "[parameters('accountName')]"
}
},
{
"type": "Microsoft.DevOps/pipelines",
"apiVersion": "2019-07-01-preview",
"name": "[parameters('projectName')]",
"location": "[parameters('location')]",
"properties": {
"organization": {
"name": "[parameters('accountName')]"
},
"project": {
"name": "[parameters('projectName')]"
},
"bootstrapConfiguration": {
"template": {
"id": "ms.vss-continuous-delivery-pipeline-templates.aspnetcore-webapponcontainers",
"parameters": {
"resourceGroup": "[parameters('targetResourceGroupName')]",
"appInsightLocation": "[parameters('appInsightsLocation')]",
"subscriptionId": "[variables('subscriptionId')]",
"webAppName": "projectdotnet",
"location": "[parameters('targetResourceGroupLocation')]",
"appServicePlan": "S1 Standard",
"containerRegistryName": "[variables('acrName')]",
"containerRegistrySKU": "[parameters('acrSku')]",
"containerRegistryLocation": "[parameters('acrlocation')]",
"azureAuth": "[parameters('azureAuth')]"
}
},
"repository": null
}
},
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('microsoft.visualstudio/account/', parameters('accountName'))]"
]
}
]

I'm getting an error which brings two questions:

1. azureAuth parameter:
   The way Bishal refers to it is
   "azureAuth": {
   "value": "{"scheme":"ServicePrincipal","parameters":{"tenantid":"XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX","objectid":"XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX","serviceprincipalid":"XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX","serviceprincipalkey":"password"}}"
   }

Is it still valid? As app registration evolved, it seems that objectid is now id.
Which one is the correct writing?

2. The error I get now is:

{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details.","details":[{"code":"NotFound","message":"{\r\n "code": "ProjectNotFoundWithId",\r\n "message": "Failed to create Azure Pipeline 'williamtestproj'. More details: 'Configuration failed at step: 'Creating assets'. More details: Invalid property identifier character: \\. Path '', line 1, position 1..'. ",\r\n "target": "GetAzurePipelineOperation"\r\n}"}]}

The DevOps org gets creates, the project gets created, but the Service Connection doesn't happen. And the pipeline doesn't create.

I thought at first it was related to the azureAuth, but I'm now confused.
I also tried to use the way Bishal was refering to it in the wiki, using the nested pipeline bootstrapconfigurations but I ended up with the same issue (except for the target name that is not the same).

any idea? that would be quite helpful!

Thanks,
William
