Bicep deployment fails in Visual Studio Code – r. Path ” detected an unexpected character when parsing value:

Problem

I’d like to use simple bicep for Azure Storage deployment. However, I’m receiving odd errors.

Could it be that there is compatibility issues on Az or powershell? What commands solve the issue.

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -TemplateFile main.bicep

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -TemplateFile main.bicep
New-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: r. Path '', line 0, position 0.
+ New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -TemplateFile main.bicep

get-installedModule -Name Az

az version

{

  "azure-cli-core": "2.4.0",
  "azure-cli-nspkg": "3.0.4",
  "azure-cli-telemetry": "1.0.4",
  "extensions": {}
}

I also tried CLI on the command line, but received the following error:

az deployment group create --resource-group kensbicep-rg --template-file main.bicep
Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
