I am trying to deploy Azure Logic App through powershell. I created JSON template through Visual Studio 2017. I am getting following error: Any ideas, what is going on here?

New-AzureRmLogicApp : Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: h. Path '', line 0, position 0.

POWERSHELL COMMAND

New-AzureRmLogicApp -ResourceGroupName "resourcegroupforutptesting123" -Name "LogicApp05" -Location "West US 2" -State "Enabled" -DefinitionFilePath "C:\Powershell\Definition03.json" -ParameterFilePath "C:\Powershell\Parameters03.json"

    "definition": {
        "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",

        "outputs": {},

Answer 1

I suggest you to use Azure Resource Manager templates to deploy the Logic App.

1. Sign in to your Azure account.

   Connect-AzureRmAccount

2. Create a file of the template and you can define the Logic App name and location.

   { "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "variables": {}, "resources": [ { "name": "LogicApp4", "type": "Microsoft.Logic/workflows", "location": "Southeast Asia", "tags": { "displayName": "LogicApp" }, "apiVersion": "2016-06-01", "properties": { "definition": { "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#", "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0", "actions": {}, "outputs": {}, "parameters": {}, "triggers": {} }, "parameters": {} } } ], "outputs": {} }

3. Deploy to the resource group the template that defines the resources to create.

New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -Name NorasForDeployment -ResourceGroupName NorasForTest -TemplateFile C:\\Users\\v-wehan\\source\\repos\\AzureResourceGroup1\\AzureResourceGroup1\\LogicApp.json

It is useful for me. For more details, you can refer to the doc .

Answer 2

REPLACE the content in json file with

{"$schema":"https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#", "actions": {}, "contentVersion":"1.0.0.0","outputs": {},"parameters": {},"triggers": {}} 

It will add the blank logic app. Please note, your json string in json file shouldn't have any spaces in it.
