Microsoft seems to have changed the way that extract works (Actually they have fixed an error), which made our deployment pipelines died.

It seems that someone were doing it wrong ;)

After a few hours of wondering what was wrong, I found that the globbing pattern was off. Before it defaulted back to a search all folders pattern. Now it just looks in the exact point (which is actually logical)

Therefore my pattern was changed to this and the pain stopped.
