dest_path must be relative — got absolute path

Error message

dest_path must be relative — got absolute path

What it means

The supplied dest_path parses as an absolute path (leading '/' or a Windows prefix), which would ignore the download root; resolve_dest rejects it to keep every download inside <workspace>/<dest_subdir>.

Solutions

1. Pass a path relative to the downloads root, e.g. 'file.zip' or 'sub/file.zip'
2. Let the tool choose the location and omit dest_path if no specific name is needed
