There are MISSING Area or Iteration Paths

[dipert]

I keep getting this error that the iteration node does not exist, I am trying to map it to the name of the node in the target org in the iteration map but it does not seem to be working, I have tried several variations with the escape characters and such!

      "IterationMaps": {
        "SourceProject\\Sprint 1": "Target Project\\Iteration 0",
        "SourceProject\\Sprint 2": "Target Project\\Iteration 0"
      },
      "AreaMaps": {
        "SourceProject": "Target Project"
      },

But it still lists as an error

If you have not already checked Iteration and Area Maps for the correct format.

For JSON to work the \ needs to escape to \\, and in addition, the left-hand side is fed into a regex, which also needs \ to be escaped to \\. This means that for a single \ to be output into the regext it needs escaled twice to \\\\ on the left, and only once on the right to \\.

This would be a valid match:

      "IterationMaps": {
        "SourceProject\\\\Sprint 1": "Target Project\\Iteration 0",
        "SourceProject\\\\Sprint 2": "Target Project\\Iteration 0"
      },
      "AreaMaps": {
        "SourceProject": "Target Project"
      },
