TypeError: expected a string

[wupaz]

I'm not sur if it's a bug or a miss configuration but I'm stuck with this error ... TypeError: expected a string

My cwd path is correct, combined.json file is there. I don't understand what is wrong?!

Hi @wupaz ✋

Seems like a miss-match between windows / separator used in the variable and unix separator \ used in the cwd path.
Please rerun the build with system.debug variable set to true so I will be able to help more.

I try \ and / without any success , but I didn't use this task in build(pipeline) but in Release.

hi @wupaz
can you try adding new parameter tabName: test to your YAML file? I have a feeling that the default value is not taken into account.
