[ x] Page Transformation: Error during the use of page transformation from PnP PowerShell
[ ] Page Transformation: Error during the use of page transformation from .Net
[ ] Page Transformation: Page is not looking correct after transformation
[ ] Modernization Scanner: something went wrong...
Expected or Desired Behavior
We are attempting to transform a page when using a cross site transformation from an on-prem SharePoint 2016 site to a modern SharePoint Online communication site.
The page exists in the root of the source site at /[SiteName]/default.aspx and is the site home page.
We are using the cmdlet with the -Folder "" parameter. Our expected behaviour is that the page is transformed and copied to the target site 'Site Pages' library.
Observed Behavior
The operation is failing with a critical error and the error message states: "Site does not have a sitepages library and therefore this page can't be a client side page."
The target site does however have a site pages library and using the cmdlet to copy publishing pages from the source site Pages library to the target site Site Pages library has been successful.
Site does not have a sitepages library and therefore this page can't be a client side page.
