The item ${p} has an unrecognized type ending ${typeEnding}

Error message

The item ${p} has an unrecognized type ending ${typeEnding}

What it means

pushObj's type dispatch fell through every known item type: the path's suffix is not any supported sync item kind, so no dedicated push function exists for it. Usually caused by an unsupported or misspelled file ending in the sync directory.

Solutions

1. Check the file ending against supported types (script, flow, app, resource, variable, schedule, trigger kinds, user, group, settings).
2. Remove or rename files that are not sync items out of the synced folder.
3. Exclude unrelated files from the sync root.
