nameSuffix parameter missing from azuredeploy.parameters.json file

[josibake]

The nameSuffix field is missing from the azuredeploy.parameters.json file following template generation. It is in the azuredeploy.json file and causes the following error when following the documentation:

info:    Executing command group deployment create
error:    Template and Deployment "parameters" objects lengths do not match 
	Deployment Parameter file does not have { nameSuffix } defined.
error:   Error information has been recorded to <path>/.azure/azure.err
error:   group deployment create command failed

The error is solved by manually adding the nameSuffix field to the azuredeploy.parameters.json file.

It's not really required and that issue is fixed in newer versions of the legacy CLI. Unfortunately, new versions of the legacy CLI have a different issue. I recommend you try the new Python based Azure CLI: https://GitHub.com/Azure/azure-cli

Makes sense. I'll give the azure-cli a shot. If anything, having this noted in the issues will hopefully save somebody some headache.

Closing this. Feel free to reopen if you're not unblocked.
