Target project not found:

Error message

Target project not found: 

What it means

PullRepository.run resolves the configured targetProject path at build time; a null lookup result means no project with that path exists, so the repository cannot be pulled into it. The message carries the path.

Solutions

1. Correct the target project path in the step configuration.
2. Create the project or pick an existing one.
