Description

The downloadReport funciton in ExternalConfiguration.php is using a hardcoded backslash in the returned path, which is incorrect on Linux. (apologies I dont know why the line breaks arent appearing in the code block):

function downloadReport($downloadData, $fileName){ $filePathName = __DIR__. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .$fileName; $file = fopen($filePathName, "w"); fwrite($file, $downloadData); fclose($file); return __DIR__.'\\'.$fileName; }

It should use the php constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR and as the path is already stored in the filePathName variable the return fucntion can be corrected to
return $filePathName;

Research direction

Open ExternalConfiguration.php and inspect the downloadReport function, especially how $filePathName is built and returned. Confirm that the returned path uses the platform-independent DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR and matches the file that was written, then verify the behavior on Linux.
