Web and Api Images not pushed after running ./scripts/Starter-Deploy.ps1

When I run the script, the ACR is created but not the images. After doing some debugging, I noticed that $stepBuildPush is somehow set to false although the default is true. setting the param stepBuildPush to 1 seems to work so not sure why that variable would need to be set to true explicitly.

I ran into another issue when BuildPush.ps1 runs:
CreateFile ....\Build-Modern-AI-Apps-Hackathon\starter-artifacts\code\VectorSearchAiAssistant\docker\docker-compose.yml: The system cannot find the path specified.

So the images are not created
