System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path

[Philipp-Acker]

Hey folks,

after trying to get things going I finally quit.
I installed the agent and the controller as mentioned in the "getting started"-guide.
Tried the sample and it works like a charm. But after writing my own yml file I can't get rid of this error.

The agent throws following error.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\acker\AppData\Local\Temp\benchmarks-agent\benchmarks-server-27388\ddauafzs.iwi\?Projects.API\global.json'.

I tried to create a new global.json file for my project, but this doesn't work.
My project running on .Net 8.0.100

I'm grateful for tips and solutions

Can you share the yml file you created. I think there might be typo in your config that creates an invalid path on the agent.
