Undesired warning in pipeline output for parameter files during deployment/validate

[bjompen]

Describe the bug

Related to #504 (?)

When deploying a template alongside a parameter.json file the Azure DevOps log outputs a warning for the parameter.json.

WARNING: [13:37:00][AzOpsScope] Unable to determine type from Template or Template Parameter file: /home/vsts/work/1/s/root/root <...>/templateName.parameters.json

As this parameter file isn't even supposed to be deployed this warning clutters the output and gives bad feedback.

Suggestions

Either make this an opt in and only show this message when high verbosity or similar is set,
or
Change this to a informational message
or
Do not parse/include .parameters.json files at all in the list of files to process as they most likely aren't ment to be deployed..

Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy a resource.bicep with a resource.parameters.json
2. check the Azure DevOps output

Regarding alternative 3 there is a scenario where only the parameters file is present in git - see discussion in #677.

Somewhat related... if you deploy a resource group using an ARM template with a params file the params file is deleted by the next pull and the subsequent Validate/Push will fail.

Thank you for raising this. As Jan pointed out, this is currently by design as per discussion in #677. We will consider changing this in the future.
