I am new to azure ARM templates... I would like to use IntelliJ IDEA, it has azure support plugin from Microsoft. I have whole project (java+maven+azure) in IDEA. I would like to work with related ARM template in the same place. ARM template documentation is huge... So, any in-IDE highlight/intellisense would be appreciated.
Problems:
- when I open (regular file) JSON file (with schema) with ARM template
- CTRL+SPACE shows possible values from schema, but it is really slow (like 8seconds) every time! Which makes it unusable. There isn't a cache of any type?
- it does not offer all supported values, the latest "2019-04-01" is missing. But the schema contains it "$ref": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/Microsoft.Storage.json#/resourceDefinitions/storageAccounts"
- CTRL+SPACE on location really shows list of possible locations. Unfortunately, it shows it "names" instead of IDs. "West Europe" vs. "westeurope". So it creates invalid template.
- when I open deployment from Azure Explorer, it shows ARM template and its parameters in split view side-by-side. It is very fancy.
- BUT... it do nothing to CTRL+SPACE.
- split view keep changing widths all the times )-:
Questions:
- How do you work with ARM templates?
- Is it so slow for you too?
- Is there somewhere a newer schema definition? (MS docs said that https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json# is latest)
I understand that half of it goes to IDEA team, half to azure plugin team... but it just seems to me, that I am doing something wrong.
