Error:Blueprint resource group placeholder

D Ds 6 Reputation points

I am trying to assign a blueprint via az cmd but keep on getting the following error Error: 'Blueprint resource group placeholder " the artifact has been specified in the blueprint as io-default-vnet

example
az blueprint assignment create --name 'IO-Default-Network-Config-test' --location 'South Africa North' --subscription "[sub id]" --resource-group-value artifact_name="io-default-vnet" name="io-default-vnet" location="South Africa North" --blueprint-version "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/IO-Management-Group/providers/Microsoft.Blueprint/blueprints/IO-Default-Network-Config" --parameters @Rebecca .json

any ideas why ?

    Happy to help, @DDs-759, can you confirm the Resource Group was defined before adding the artifact?
    Also noticed there's an end quote missing on the error you shared above. If there's more to the error then please share and we can investigate further. :)

    Can you please explain what did you put --parameter .json file in order to solve it?

    I just encountered this same issue using powershell. It appeared to be because I'd defined the resource group location in both my blueprint.json and assignment.json files.

    eg:

    blueprint.json 

     "resourceGroups": {
 "mainRG": {
 "location": "australiaeast",
 "dependsOn": []
 }
 }

    assignment.json 

     "resourceGroups": {
 "mainRG": {
 "name": "rg-myresourcegroup",
 "location": "australiaeast"
 }
 }

      That's good news you found the configuration error. Have a good weekend.

    Trying to rule out Az CLI cmds as the root cause. Can you retry the blueprint assignment via PowerShell instead?
    Here's a sample PS cmd below for your reference.

    New-AzBlueprintAssignment -Blueprint $blueprint -Name 'assignMyBlueprint' -AssignmentFile .\blueprintAssignment.json

    I've reached out to the blueprint team for help with this. Hope to have an update by Monday. thanks for your patience.

    Thanks for sharing @D Ds . Let me investigate on my end to see if I can reproduce this issue. In the meantime, can you try with a new, diff RG (preferably with a shorter name) to see if the error persists. I should have an update in 24 hours.

    Cheers.

    Hi, thanks, below is the complete cmd and out of the error. Yes the resource group has been defined , see snip of all artifacts.

    devuser@ad01e081df88:/tmp$ az blueprint assignment create --name 'IO-Default-Network-Config-test' --location 'South Africa North' --subscription "[sub id]" --resource-group-value artifact_name="io-default-vnet" name="io-default-vnet" location="South Africa North" --blueprint-version "/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/IO-Management-Group/providers/Microsoft.Blueprint/blueprints/IO-Default-Network-Config" --parameters @Rebecca .json
    Command group 'blueprint' is experimental and not covered by customer support. Please use with discretion.
    This assignment is invalid. Error: 'Blueprint resource group placeholder 'io-default-vnet' does not exist in blueprint '/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/IO-Management-Group/providers/Microsoft.Blueprint/blueprints/IO-Default-Network-Config/versions/1.4'.'
