Bicep error code - BCP288

  • Article

This error occurs when the name specified is a type, but it's being used as a value.

Error description

<name> refers to a type but is being used as a value here.

Solution

Use a name of a value.

Examples

The following example raises the error because bar is a name of a user-defined data type, not a value:

type bar = 'white'
var foo = bar

You can fix the error by assigning a value to the variable foo:

var bar = 'white'
var foo = bar
