Missing parameter in parameters.json error with azure-cli v0.10.5

[ahmetb]

README says:

Generated templates can be deployed using the Azure XPlat CLI (v0.10 only)

I have v0.10.5, however the examples/kubernetes.json template output I got does not have "nameSuffix" parameter in _output/Kubernetes-*/azuredeploy.parameters.json file and therefore it fails with error:

zure group deployment create --template-file azuredeploy.json --parameters-file azuredeploy.parameters.json --resource-group ahmetb-k8s
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 /Users/alp/.azure/azure.err
error:   group deployment create command failed

nameSuffix should have a default value in azuredeploy.json and thus is not required in the azuredeploy.parameters.json file.

Can you check and see if that's the case?

[ahmetb]

@colemickens it does have a value in azuredeploy.json, but the node-based CLI requires the value to be declared in parameters.json anyway I think. I've seen this happening before in other projects, so I think it's by-design behavior.

[colemickens]

What would be the point of having default values in the template then?

[anhowe]

If there is a default value, it is not required in the parameters. The powershell behavior should be the standard here, so please submit a bug to CLI team. Also, why are you using 0.10.5 since the readme says only use 0.10.0, as anything > 0.10.0 can create broken deployments.

I thought we fixed this so the docs were less ambiguous? I already filed a bug on xplat-cli. I'll send a PR to cleanup the language about what version of xplat-cli to use.
