Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Could be dsc lint including the rule:

  • If --target-path is used, ensure targetPath() is used somewhere in an expression within the config

Alternatively, maybe a Bicep extension could have linting.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction

Start by examining the proposed dsc lint entry point and the configuration handling around --target-path and targetPath(). Determine whether linting belongs in DSC or a Bicep extension; done means an agreed linting scope and a rule that detects whether targetPath() is used when --target-path is supplied.
