BCP162 Error Expected a loop item variable identifier or "(" at this location.
BCP164 Error A child resource's scope is computed based on the scope of its ancestor resource. This means that using the "scope" property on a child resource is unsupported.
BCP165 Error A resource's computed scope must match that of the Bicep file for it to be deployable. This resource's scope is computed from the "scope" property value assigned to ancestor resource "{ancestorIdentifier}". You must use modules to deploy resources to a different scope.

BCP277 Error A module declaration can only reference a Bicep file, an ARM template, a registry reference, or a template spec reference.
BCP278 Error This parameters file references itself, which isn't allowed.
BCP279 Error Expected a type at this location. Specify a valid type expression or one of the following types: {ToQuotedString(LanguageConstants.DeclarationTypes.Keys)}.
BCP285 Error The type expression couldn't be reduced to a literal value.
BCP286 Error This union member is invalid because it can't be assigned to the '{keystoneType}' type.
BCP287 Error '{symbolName}' refers to a value but is being used as a type here.

BCP290 Error Expected a parameter or type declaration after the decorator.
BCP291 Error Expected a parameter or output declaration after the decorator.
BCP292 Error Expected a parameter, output, or type declaration after the decorator.
BCP293 Error All members of a union type declaration must be literal values.
BCP294 Error Type unions must be reducible to a single ARM type (such as 'string', 'int', or 'bool').
BCP295 Error The '{decoratorName}' decorator may not be used on targets of a union or literal type. The allowed values for this parameter or type definition will be derived from the union or literal type automatically.
BCP296 Error Property names on types must be compile-time constant values.
BCP297 Error Function <function-name> can't be used as a type decorator.
BCP298 Error This type definition includes itself as a required component, which creates a constraint that can't be fulfilled.
BCP299 Error This type definition includes itself as a required component via a cycle ("{string.Join("" -> "", cycle)}").
BCP300 Error Expected a type literal at this location. Specify a concrete value or a reference to a literal type.
BCP301 Error The type name "{reservedName}" is reserved and may not be attached to a user-defined type.
BCP302 Error The name <type-name> isn't a valid type. Specify one of the following types: <type-names>.
BCP303 Error String interpolation is unsupported for specifying the provider.

BCP305 Error Expected the "with" keyword, "as" keyword, or a new line character at this location.
BCP306 Error The name "{name}" refers to a namespace, not to a type.
BCP307 Error The expression can't be evaluated, because the identifier properties of the referenced existing resource including {ToQuotedString(runtimePropertyNames.OrderBy(x => x))} can't be calculated at the start of the deployment. In this situation, {accessiblePropertyNamesClause}{accessibleFunctionNamesClause}.
BCP308 Error The decorator <decorator-name> may not be used on statements whose declared type is a reference to a user-defined type.
BCP309 Error Values of type "{flattenInputType.Name}" can't be flattened because "{incompatibleType.Name}" isn't an array type.

BCP317 Error Expected an identifier, a string, or an asterisk at this location.
BCP318 Warning The value of type "{possiblyNullType}" may be null at the start of the deployment, which would cause this access expression (and the overall deployment with it) to fail. If you don't know whether the value will be null and the template would handle a null value for the overall expression, use a .? (safe dereference) operator to short-circuit the access expression if the base expression's value is null: {accessExpression.AsSafeAccess().ToString()}. If you know the value won't be null, use a non-null assertion operator to inform the compiler that the value won't be null: {SyntaxFactory.AsNonNullable(expression).ToString()}.
BCP319 Error The type at "{errorSource}" couldn't be resolved by the ARM JSON template engine. Original error message: "{message}"
BCP320 Error The properties of module output resources can't be accessed directly. To use the properties of this resource, pass it as a resource-typed parameter to another module and access the parameter's properties therein.
BCP321 Warning Expected a value of type "{expectedType}" but the provided value is of type "{actualType}". If you know the value won't be null, use a non-null assertion operator to inform the compiler that the value won't be null: {SyntaxFactory.AsNonNullable(expression).ToString()}.
BCP322 Error The .? (safe dereference) operator may not be used on instance function invocations.
BCP323 Error The [?] (safe dereference) operator may not be used on resource or module collections.
BCP325 Error Expected a type identifier at this location.
BCP326 Error Nullable-typed parameters may not be assigned default values. They have an implicit default of 'null' that can't be overridden.

BCP330 Warning The provided value can be as large as {sourceMax} and may be too large to assign to a target with a configured maximum of {targetMax}.

BCP361 Error The "@export()" decorator must target a top-level statement.
BCP362 Error This symbol is imported multiple times under the names {string.Join(", ", importedAs.Select(identifier => $"'{identifier}'"))}.
BCP363 Error The "{LanguageConstants.TypeDiscriminatorDecoratorName}" decorator can only be applied to object-only union types with unique member types.
BCP364 Error The property "{discriminatorPropertyName}" must be a required string literal on all union member types.
BCP365 Error The value "{discriminatorPropertyValue}" for discriminator property "{discriminatorPropertyName}" is duplicated across multiple union member types. The value must be unique across all union member types.
BCP366 Error The discriminator property name must be "{acceptablePropertyName}" on all union member types.
BCP367 Error The "{featureName}" feature is temporarily disabled.
BCP368 Error The value of the "{targetName}" parameter can't be known until the template deployment has started because it uses a reference to a secret value in Azure Key Vault. Expressions that refer to the "{targetName}" parameter may be used in {LanguageConstants.LanguageFileExtension} files but not in {LanguageConstants.ParamsFileExtension} files.
BCP369 Error The value of the "{targetName}" parameter can't be known until the template deployment has started because it uses the default value defined in the template.
