Template Validation Error - Error: Code=InvalidTemplate; Message=Deployment template validation failed:

Question

I am having a bit of trouble deploying the template below:

One of the error message that has thrown:

'The template resource '[concat('nsg-create',copyIndex())]' at line '344' and column '9' is invalid. The api-version '2016-07-01' used to deploy the template does not support 'ResourceGroup' property. Please use api-version '2017-05-10' or later to deploy the template. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-template/#resources for usage details.'.

Code that have been used to deploy.

 Context "Template Validation" {

    It "Template $here\azuredeploy.json and parameter file  passes validation" -TestCases $ParameterFileTestCases {
        Param( $ParameterFile )
        Update-Module -Name AzureRM -Force
        $output = New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $TempValidationRG -Force -Mode Complete -TemplateFile "$here\azuredeploy.json" -TemplateParameterFile "$here\$ParameterFile"  -ErrorAction Stop 5>&1
        $output.ProvisioningState | Should -Be "Succeeded"
    }
}

I have tried changing the API version, however, that still gave me the same error. I do not understand how to solve this issue. I am trying to test the template through pester.

The output of Get-Module AzureRM* -ListAvailable : AzureRM list

Could you include the relevant JSON in the question (not in a screenshot)? — juunas, Jul 11 '18 at 05:59
also, does the template works when you deploy it manually\powershell (not pester) — 4c74356b41, Jul 11 '18 at 06:39

You need to use another api-version. Try 2017-05-10 this one.

Also, try updating the Azure Powershell to latest version.

Your template is fine - this will be the apiVersion used by the tool doing deployment - as Gleb mentions, update your PowerShell cmdlets – bmoore-msft Jul 11 '18 at 15:21
I have changed the API version, it still did not work. @bmoore-msft – Donald Duck Jul 12 '18 at 05:01
I have also tried to update the Azure Powershell with this Update-Module -Name AzureRM -Force. Please correct me if there is another way to do it. @4c74356b41 – Donald Duck Jul 12 '18 at 05:08
add the output of `Get-Module AzureRM* -ListAvailable` to the question – 4c74356b41 Jul 12 '18 at 05:19
Done @4c74356b41 – Donald Duck Jul 17 '18 at 23:49
I suggest you update azure powershell modules, yours are outdated, if `-force` doesnt for you, just delete them under /program files/windowspowershell/modules, reboot and do install-module azurerm – 4c74356b41 Jul 18 '18 at 07:03
