Error creating a snapshot: Failed to submit snapshot: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'toString')

[nihalraghuraj-assent]

I tried implementing the action against the latest version v0.0.3 on GHES 3.13
Still no dice, fails to create a snapshot for some reason.
Could you please help me diagnose this issue??

Following the release of the new version, v0.0.3 and the conversion here: Fixed-issue, I tried to implement the following on my end:

name: Dependency Submission

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master, develop ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ develop ]
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  Component-Detection-Dependency:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Execute restore
        run: dotnet restore ./Assent.Party.Api.sln      

      - name: Download component-detection.exe
        run: |
          $output = "${env:GITHUB_WORKSPACE}\component-detection.exe"
          if (Test-Path $output) {
            Write-Output "Component Detection file already exists at $output"
          } else {
            $url = "https://github.com/microsoft/component-detection/releases/download/v5.1.5/component-detection-win-x64.exe"
            Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $output
            Write-Output "Component Detection file downloaded to $output"
          }

      - name: List files in the current directory and check if component-detection.exe exists
        run: |
          Get-ChildItem -Path "${env:GITHUB_WORKSPACE}" | Format-Table Name, Length, LastWriteTime
          $filePath = "${env:GITHUB_WORKSPACE}\component-detection.exe"
          if (Test-Path -Path $filePath) {
              Write-Output "Component Detection file exists"
          } else {
              Write-Output "Component Detection file does not exist"
              exit 1
          }

      - name: Component Detection dependency submission action
        uses: advanced-security/[email protected]

But still end up with the same error as below:

Run advanced-security/[email protected]
