Summary

While working on the fix for #1115, another issue arose. Nested parameters (or a parameter depending on another) return an input failure. Take the following configuration document:

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
parameters:
  basePrefix:
    type: string
    defaultValue: base
  computedPrefix:
    type: string
    defaultValue: "[concat(parameters('basePrefix'), '-computed')]"
resources:
- name: "test"
  type: Microsoft.DSC.Debug/Echo
  properties:
    output: "[concat('Generated by ', parameters('computedPrefix'))]"
'@

Running the above example errors out: ERROR Parameter input failure: Parser: Parameter 'basePrefix' not found in context

Steps to reproduce

Run the above configuration document.

Expected behavior

Nested parameters are allowed.

Actual behavior

ERROR Parameter input failure: Parser: Parameter 'basePrefix' not found in context
