I'm getting the same error.

@kasunkv Is there a task error log we can investigate?

My build agent is the same server as where the OWASP ZAP application is installed. I'm also running OWASP ZAP in daemon mode on port 8080.

As the build agent is on the same server, the API URL on the task in the release definition is http://localhost:8080.

If it's a problem in ZAP its log should contain more details (file zap.log in ZAP home, https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/wiki/FAQconfig ).
