parsing ConfigStore.Base %q: %w

Error message

parsing ConfigStore.Base %q: %w

What it means

Wraps vfsContext.BuildVfsPath failure while parsing the ConfigStore.Base URL to extract the Azure storage account name. Fires when the config base string is not a parseable VFS path (bad scheme, malformed azureblob:// URL).

Solutions

1. Correct the config base to a well-formed azureblob://<container>/... URL
2. Check for typos in the --state flag
3. Re-run the operation after fixing the state path
