Describe the bug

We receive this error when we analyze bicep templates containing the metadata keyword. Removing the metadata keyword solves this problem, but we need this keyword for documentation and information purposes.

Information regarding this can be found in the reproduction steps.

We get the following errors:

Expected behavior

Template files are analyzed with the metadata section.

Reproduction Steps

Sample bicep

`metadata info = {
name: 'RBAC Module'
description: 'This module deploys a Role Based Access assignments'
version: '1.0.0'
author: 'Maik van der Gaag'
}

param principalId string
param roleDefinitionResourceId string

@description('This is the built-in Contributor role. See https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles#contributor')
resource roleDefinition 'Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions@2018-01-01-preview' existing = {
scope: subscription()
name: roleDefinitionResourceId
}

resource roleAssignment 'Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments@2020-04-01-preview' = {
name: guid(resourceGroup().id, principalId, roleDefinition.id)
properties: {
roleDefinitionId: roleDefinition.id
principalId: principalId
principalType: 'ServicePrincipal'
}
scope: resourceGroup()
}`

When we analyze this with '.\TemplateAnalyzer.exe analyze-template D:\source\rbac.bicep -v'

Environment

Local and on Microsoft build agents
.Net 6

@maikvandergaag Thank you for reporting, we will look into this.

I'm also getting this error when scanning the following Azure public repo and v0.5.1

https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo
https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel/ (more the Detections but those in repo are in yaml, need the one converted to ARM)

		1 instance of: An exception occurred while analyzing template /home/vsts/work/1/s/DetectionsJSON/ASimAuthentication/Brute_force_attack_against_user_credentials__Uses_Authentication_Normalization_.json
		1 instance of: An exception occurred while analyzing template /home/vsts/work/1/s/DetectionsJSON/ASimAuthentication/User_login_from_different_countries_within_3_hours__Uses_Authentication_Normalization_.json
		1 instance of: An exception occurred while analyzing template /home/vsts/work/1/s/DetectionsJSON/ASimAuthentication/Potential_Password_Spray_Attack__Uses_Authentication_Normalization_.json

Any direction to help avoid those?

Any updates on this?

Answer 4 · 2023-06-28T23:20:59.000Z

@maikvandergaag Very sorry for the delay, I was on parental leave! OK--so since you opened this issue we have had another minor release 0.5.X. It includes a bicep dependency update as well as other bicep scanning improvements.

I believe this fixes your issue as I am getting no error with your test templates with 0.5.X, but I do with 0.4.0. Please let me know if you are still seeing this issue after trying latest release.

@juju4 I took a look at the openai-demo repo's results and in that repo I see issues with invalid expressions causing parsing issues not am not getting any errors (i.e. preventing scanning of the file due to uncaught exception). Could you share more specifics of the templates that are giving you errors?

Answer 6 · 2023-07-01T13:54:55.000Z

It's more the exception/warning that are noisy and not actionable. may be an option to redirect those to a separate log that can be reported to project?

Are there any updates? I have the same problem with Template Analyzer when running MSDO in Github Actions
