Json file not being saved when using Variable Save Task

[andreas-nesheim]

According to the documentation and source code a .json-file should be saved with the requested variables. I set it to be stored in the default folder (Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory), but I don't see it in the final result of my build step. I am publishing build artifacts from the mentioned folder, but no .json files appear. I am using Azure DevOps Server. See the attached screenshot for the logs:

According to the documentation, the last log line should log "created {result}", but it just logs "created ".

I had the same issue but actually you can turn off cleaning in your pipeline and file will remain in workspace but then there is another issue posted here by @omarsourour at 28 February (#13). Anyway it doesn't work.

I currently use this toom in 5 different pipelines. Its correctly created the files where I expected. Can you share your configuration?
