Describe the bug When calling az deployment group create from powershell and the parameters contains >f it $result is null, the output is instead saved in a file called f

To Reproduce

$overrideParameters = @(`
'environmentName=dev',`
'sqladminpassword=test>f',`
'test=random' )

$result = az deployment group create --debug `
            --name "Test" `
            --resource-group "RG-Test" `
            --template-file "C:\Projects\main.json" `
            --parameters $overrideParameters

main.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "environmentName": {
      "type": "string",
      "allowedValues": [
        "dev"
      ],
      "metadata": {
        "description": "Specify the environmentName."
      }
    },
    "sqladminpassword": {
      "type": "securestring"
    },
    "test": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },  
  "resources": [],
  "outputs": {
    "output1": {
      "type": "string",
      "value": "outputfromarm"
    }
  }
}

Expected behavior output is saved in $result

Environment summary OS:Windows 10 PSVersion 5.1.19041.1682 az version { “azure-cli”: “2.38.0”, “azure-cli-core”: “2.38.0”, “azure-cli-telemetry”: “1.0.6”, “extensions”: { “azure-devops”: “0.25.0” } }

Additional context It is a problem in ARM and also Bicep

@HenrikSommer-eng can you please try this instead? $overrideParameters = @(‘environmentName=dev’,‘sqladminpassword=“test>f”’,‘test=random’). Its working i tested it.

Hi. It is also working for me.

I would consider it as a work around but still think there is a bug. But that is your call
