Parameter Files get skipped if ParameterFilePath and ARMTemplatePath are same Directory

[p4th0g3n]

I am using ARM Template Checker to scan a directory that contains our ARM Templates and Parameter files. I found that 100% of our parameters files were getting skipped when running the following:

Get-AzSKARMTemplateSecurityStatus -ARMTemplatePath "X:\templates" -ParameterFilePath "C:\templates" -Recurse

Eventually found that we had to move template and parameters files into dedicated directories, and adjust the command as follows to get all templates and parameters files to be linked and not skipped (found that running multiple commands for each template/parameter pair works too, but not useful):

Get-AzSKARMTemplateSecurityStatus -ARMTemplatePath "X:\templates\deploy" -ParameterFilePath "X:\templates\params" -Recurse

This requirement does not appear to be documented at all, and the only reference I can find for naming convention or requirements for scanning template/parameter pairs is in the FAQ section. It took me (and one of my Microsoft contacts) a few hours before we figured this out, so it would be extremely helpful if some additional clarification on this could be added into the docs.
