Jobset creating folders rather than file names

Software
1

Just curious if anyone has noticed the same issue, but for me (and it might just be me) that if you try and export schematic or PCB PDF with or without the environmental variables in filename (which is named output directory in jobsets) it creates a directory rather the pdf? It was working for me previously but now it creates a directory such as “Schematic.pdf” with default ${PROJECTNAME}.pdf within that folder.

This ticket shows how to do it however it now creates a folder for me.
9.0.0-RC1: Text variable substitution for jobset jobfile and output folders (#19357) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

Can log a job if it is everyone otherwise I will have to figure what has happened on my machine. Seemed to be happening for PCBs but not schematics on V9.0 and both on V9.0.1 RC1

I can confirm this. Works as expected (creates a file named like the output path suggests) in 9.0.0, but is broken (creates a folder named like the output path and places a schematics PDF with a default file name in that) in 9.0.1-rc2 on Debian using flatpak.

I will probably create an issue in gitlab next week.

There is a matching issue as of yesterday: jobset pdf outputs always have the same filename (#20474) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

Thanks for confirmation. That was my ticket :slight_smile:
