2023-11-06T22:17:18.9042826Z ##[error]Error: Error: A '-dest' argument must be specified with the 'sync' verb.
Error count: 1.
'test2' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
As far as I can tell, no changes were made to the release pipeline or the pipeline itself. I have tried removing all spaces in source alias ("test1 & test2 artifacts" to "test1&test2artifacts") as per a related error in this post but the -dest argument error still comes up.
Am experiencing the same issue, try removing the & from your source alias.
