I have an existing Event Grid Topic and want to add an Event Subscription to it, with an existing Azure Function endpoint.
To achieve this I am using Linked Templates. ARM Template validation passes, but deployment fails, with quite a peculiar error:
"InvalidResourceNamespace: "The resource namespace 'subscriptions' is invalid. (Code: InvalidResourceNamespace)"
Here's the raw error:
{
"code": "DeploymentFailed",
"message": "At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.",
"details": [
{
"code": "InvalidContentLink",
"message": "Unable to download deployment content from 'https://storagearmtpl.blob.core.windows.net/arm-tpl-service-cd-11111-artifacts/nestedtemplates/eventGridSubscriptionTemplate.json?sv=sasartifactsstring'. The tracking Id is '11111111'. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deploy for usage details."
},
{
"code": "InvalidResourceNamespace",
"message": "The resource namespace 'subscriptions' is invalid."
}
]
}
Where sasartifactsstring is a valid artifacts locations sas token. (I'm assuming, it looks correct)
I understand that this error stems from the "type" of the resource in the template being invalid, but as you can see below, it's simply Microsoft.EventGrid/topics/providers/eventSubscriptions.

Really not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Worth noting that the first error is annoying as well and I'm not sure why it can't download the deployment content...
update/edit: It's worth noting that the release is using Classic Azure Release Pipelines. And the error comes up during the release.
Looking into the deployment logs for the resource group, I was able to see that the deployment was trying to deploy an invalid resource, with the type starting "subscriptions/.....", so at least I know where the error is coming from. Still investigating what is causing this misread...
