Set-SCPItem - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[DyJohnnY]

Hi,

Trying to migrate the set-scpfile commands over to set-scp item and with the latest best 3,0 beta 2 I am getting below error.

$lfile = "C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Temp\runlist.json"
$rpath = "/vmware/input"
$SCPSPlat = @{
    ComputerName      = $VMIP
    Credential        = $Credential
    Destination       = $rpath
    Path              = $lfile
    AcceptKey         = $true
    Force             = $true 
    OperationTimeout  = 30
    ConnectionTimeout = 30
    Verbose           = $true
    Debug = $true
    ErrorAction       = "Stop"
    }
$foo = Set-SCPItem @SCPSPlat
