Confusing error messages #5998

Your app says "The provided path is not in a valid format." when I try to mkdir inside an already created dir. This is confusing as it misleads the user to thinking that the message they entered is wrong, when the actual problem is being in the wrong directory.

Hi, as mentioned in the UG, the group ID has to be 3 digit number. The command you have inputted has groupID in the wrong format and hence the invalid path format error thrown is expected and is the correct outcome. Thank you.
