[Bug] Error on artifacts publish: "Failed to hash a page of files. Exception listed below"

Describe the bug When I try to upload a file to Azure Artifacts Universal feed, I receive the error “Failed to hash a page of files. Exception listed below”. No exception is listed below.

To Reproduce Azure Cli Version: 2.0.70

Azure-Devops extension version: 0.12.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. login using az devops login --organization <org> + input Personal Access Token
2. execute command az artifacts universal publish --organization "<org>" --feed "Installers" --name "txt.tmp" --version "0.0.1" --description "Test upload" --path .\txt.tmp
3. See error Failed to hash a page of files. Exception listed below...

Expected behavior The file is uploaded to the feed. Or a clear error telling why it failed.

so figured out one thing…

When you publish a zip file, put the zip file in a folder with just the zip file

Then use “–path .” and it will upload the zip file as that’s the only piece that exists in the folder. When you download artifact, you’ll download the zip.

–path needs to receive a “DIRECTORY”, not a full path https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ext/azure-devops/artifacts/universal?view=azure-cli-latest#ext-azure-devops-az-artifacts-universal-download

Similar to lp-code my issue I later resolved by using a directory. At first I had tried referencing a file directly which caused the error for me. I think that should be considered a bug that it cannot take a file directly without producing a logical error message.
