what am i doing wrong, is there anything I missed in task configuration ?

I think the issue is shown in the log. You have the task set to

1. clone a repo - which it has done
2. export a single file test.md form that repo - this falls because the file is not present

2021-11-24T08:50:06.0023046Z A filename 'Test.md' in the folder 'D:\a\1\s\repo' has been requested so only processing that file
2021-11-24T08:50:06.0083127Z ##[error]Cannot find the requested file Test.md to export

So the fixes are

• Change the singleFile: 'Test.md' parameter to name a file that does exist
• Remove the singleFile: 'Test.md' parameter to the whole repo will be exported as a PDF
