How to fix the issue: ##[error]Error: No package found with specified pattern:...

I have a pipeline for building and deploying an angular app. It builds successfully but fails during deployment with the error: ##[error]Error:

No package found with specified pattern: /home/vsts/work/1/s/**/*.zip
Check if the package mentioned in the task is published as an artifact in the build or a previous stage and downloaded in the current job.

I added debug script to see the pipeline workspace and i can see the zip file in the drop folder as it was meant to be. But in the debug stage, it is not referencing that location and i get the error i stated above.

`/home/vsts/work/1:
TestResults
a
b
drop
s

/home/vsts/work/1/TestResults:

/home/vsts/work/1/a:

/home/vsts/work/1/b:

/home/vsts/work/1/drop:
249.zip

/home/vsts/work/1/s:`


My pipeline is below:

`trigger:
- main

azureSubscription: 'VMS ARM SC NRG'

- task: CmdLine@2

I need any help I can get.

I tried hard coding the path: packageForLinux: '/home/vsts/work/1/drop/$(Build.BuildId).zip' and its still the same error.
