The biggest problem with CI/CD pipelines

I think the problem is really that tools used to build software with, and the tasks you use in your pipelines, are so inconsistent with how they generate and reference files and paths. For example: … - If you use relative paths for tool parameters, are they relative to the current working directory, or to another specific parameter? - If you’re creating a zip file by pointing to a directory, does it include that directory in the zip, or just the child files and directories? - Does the tool or task support wildcards? And are they ‘normal’ wildcards (aka globbing), or are they actually regular expressions?
