Azure function app's signalr_extension is not populated to use in signalR upstreams when creating a function app by Bicep

The signalr_extension is only created once you’ve deployed your function app with a SignalRTrigger function.
You can generate this key upfront if you’re deploying the Function App and signalR service at the same time:

param functionAppName string

// Create the function app key for signalR
resource signalRKey 'Microsoft.Web/sites/host/systemkeys@2021-03-01' = {
  name: '${functionAppName}/default/signalr_extension'
  properties: {
    name: 'signalr_extension'
  }
}

The ARM API to generate function keys is just pointing to the function app API so it could take some time before it become available (see issue on github).

I managed to get this working consistently by deploying the systemkey and signalr using module.
Also for function app running on linux, the AzureWebJobsStorage setting is mandatory.

functionapp-systemkey.bicep module:

param functionAppName string
param keyName string

resource signalRKey 'Microsoft.Web/sites/host/systemkeys@2021-03-01' = {
  name: '${functionAppName}/default/${keyName}'
  properties: {
    name: keyName
  }
}

signalr.bicep module:

param location string = resourceGroup().location

param signalRName string
param functionAppName string
