Hi Charlie,

I’ve tried Directory Browser snap to fetch files. When I hook pipelineExecute Snap I am getting the error.

Failure: Pipeline did not complete successfully, Reason: Snap errors: {ruuid=830fa0d3-2253-40b5-b419-2a4fd53dfa97, reason=Value referenced in the sub-expression ‘$Path’ is null, label=File Reader, resolution=Please check expression syntax and data types.}, Resolution: Fix the child pipeline errors and try again

I might be giving the wrong expression in the parameter section. Can you please look into pipeline Execute and File reader snap screenshots and suggest the correction.

Attached screenshots.

Thanks,
Amar

    @amarb, the “Execution Label” setting is not expression-enabled. Please enable it by selecting the “=” button beside the field. As it is not enabled, it is treating the $Path value as literal.

    Also, the Pipeline Parameters section doesn’t look right to me. Typically, the Parameter Name won’t be prefixed with a ‘$’ (although yours might). As well, the Parameter Value should be enabled for expressions by toggling the “=” button.
