Illegal Characters in Path

I am trying to upload a workflow to the gallery but the workflow says there are "illegal characters in the path - do we know which path this could be referring to? The workflow works when running from Designer

Hey @adam_rafael_18 ,

 

One possible reason could be your Excel outputs. Check if you have 3 pipes (|) before the sheet name.

Also, make sure that all file/external dependencies are set to use Absolute/UNC Paths.

 

For example: Your workflow might be referencing a file from "D:\Some Folder Location\" on your machine, but the drive "D:\" isn't mapped on the Gallery server machine like it is on your machine.
