ARM Template deployment resource namespace not found

Question

I have a custom ARM template which deploys an EventHub Namespace with a child EventHub, which in turn has two AuthorizationRules and one ConsumerGroup as children. The validation passes but I get a deployment error. It seems the Azure Resource Manager starts by trying to deploy the Authorization Rules before the namespace even exist, even though I added the required "dependsOn" properties, but then the deployment goes on from start to finish and successfully deploys every resource. It could be tolerable if I only deployed it from the portal, but when I deploy this template programmatically, I get an error even though the deployment was "successful" and my rollback mechanism triggers.

Here are links to the errors given by the portal :

Below example is similar to your requirements and I have tested this template and it is working fine. So you can modify your template according to this example and get it working.

Thank you, this is working great. I believe what was wrong with my template was my use of [resourceid()] in the "dependsOn" property instead of using the resource name. Also your syntax is more concise than mine. — , Feb 20 '20 at 13:22
