Bicep Deployment of Azure Functionapps: The Properties object is missing from the request body.

Problem

I’m trying to deploy a new Azure FunctionApp utilizing Infrastructure-as-code and a bicep File to define the resources. The biceps file is as follows:

param name string
param location string = resourceGroup().location
param serverFarmID string

resource functionApp 'Microsoft.Web/sites@2021-02-01' = {
  name: name
  location: location
  kind: 'functionapp'
  properties: {
    serverFarmId: serverFarmID
    enabled: true
    reserved: true
    siteConfig: {
      appSettings: [
        {
          name: 'AzureWebJobsStorage'
          value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=censored;AccountKey= censored;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net'
        }
        {
          name: 'WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING'
          value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=censored;AccountKey= censored;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net'
        }
        {
          name: 'WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE'
          value: 'examplefunction'
        }
        {
          name: 'FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME'
          value: 'node'
        }
        {
          name: 'FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION'
          value: '~3'
        }
        {
          name: 'WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION'
          value: '~12'
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

However, when I try to deploy it, I always get the following problem.

Status Message: At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details. (Code: DeploymentFailed)
 - {
  "Code": "BadRequest",
  "Message": "Properties object is not present in the request body.",
  "Target": null,
  "Details": [
    {
      "Message": "Properties object is not present in the request body."
    },
    {
      "Code": "BadRequest"
    },
    {
      "ErrorEntity": {
        "ExtendedCode": "51006",
        "MessageTemplate": "{0} object is not present in the request body.",
        "Parameters": [
          "Properties"
        ],
        "Code": "BadRequest",
        "Message": "Properties object is not present in the request body."
      }
    }
  ],
  "Innererror": null
} (Code:BadRequest)

Despite the fact that the object’s characteristics are explicitly stated. When I don’t include the entire properties object, I get an error saying that properties is a value that shouldn’t be there (probably null). Do you have any suggestions?

Update: The functionApp section worked perfectly and was not the issue. I had another resource in the bicep file that I had forgotten about, and it was missing the properties object. I didn’t notice it because it was at the end of the file and just had four lines. Thank you to everyone who participated.

The sample code for launching an Azure Function App using BICEP is shown below. Which will assist you in fixing your problem.

var location = resourceGroup().location
var suffix = 'azeusfunctionappdev01'

resource storage_account 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2020-08-01-preview' = {
  name: 'stg${suffix}'
  location: location
  properties: {
    supportsHttpsTrafficOnly: true
    minimumTlsVersion: 'TLS1_2'
  }
  kind: 'StorageV2'
  sku: {
    name: 'Standard_LRS'
    tier: 'Standard'
  }
}

resource hosting_plan 'Microsoft.Web/serverfarms@2020-06-01' = {
  name: 'asp-${suffix}'
  location: location
  sku: {
    name: 'Y1'
    tier: 'Dynamic'
  }
}

resource function_app 'Microsoft.Web/sites@2020-06-01' = {
  name: 'functionapp-${suffix}'
  location: location
  kind: 'functionapp'
  properties: {
    httpsOnly: true
    serverFarmId: hosting_plan.id
    clientAffinityEnabled: true
    siteConfig: {
      appSettings: [
        {
          'name': 'FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION'
          'value': '~3'
        }
        {
          'name': 'FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME'
          'value': 'powershell'
        }
        {
          name: 'WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING'
          value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=${storage_account.name};EndpointSuffix=${environment().suffixes.storage};AccountKey=${listKeys(storage_account.id, storage_account.apiVersion).keys[0].value}'
        }
        {
          name: 'WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE'
          value: '${substring(uniqueString(resourceGroup().id), 3)}-azeus-functionapp-dev01'
        }
        {
          name: 'AzureWebJobsStorage'
          value: 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=${storage_account.name};AccountKey=${listKeys(storage_account.id, storage_account.apiVersion)};EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net'
        }
      ]
    }
  }

  dependsOn: [
    hosting_plan
    storage_account
  ]
}

Also here is the command to deploy the function

PS C:\> New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName "rg-azeusfunctionappdev01" -TemplateFile .\Main.json -Debug

Please discover the whole information in this file and compare it to the related information in this doc.

As suggested, check the deployment operations (https://aka.ms/DeployOperations). Check the “Deployments” section of the resource group where you deploy to see why the deployment failed.
