ArchiveFiles (2.211.0) Task throws Error: Archive creation failed for archive file:

Required Information

Question, Bug, or Feature? Bug

Enter Task Name: ArchiveFiles (2.211.0)

Environment

• Agent - ubuntu-latest Hosted

Issue Description

I have pipeline that builds a large Hugo Static Website. As part of this pipeline the ArchiveFiles task is used to ZIP up the pages.

This has been working without any issues, but when used today it failed with the error

##[error]Error: Archive creation failed for archive file: ...

I reverted the version of the ArchiveFiles task from 2.211.0 to 2.206.0 (the version that worked previously) and the pipeline completed without any errors.

Looks like there is an issue with the newer version

Fixed in 2.211.1

It’s not in the image, those tasks are dynamically downloaded from a repo in azure. Looks like someone rolled back the deployment for that task back to 2.206.0. I’m assuming the agent for the host it ran on is still 2.211.x?
