[BUG] Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Url -AzureADWorkloadIdentity return error "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'path')" running under GitHub actions

[webstean]

Notice

Many bugs reported are actually related to the PnP Framework which is used behind the scenes. Consider carefully where to report an issue:

1. Are you using Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate or Get-PnPSiteTemplate? The issue is most likely related to the Provisioning Engine. The Provisioning engine is not located in the PowerShell repo. Please report the issue here: https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues.
2. Is the issue related to the cmdlet itself, its parameters, the syntax, or do you suspect it is the code of the cmdlet that is causing the issue? Then please continue reporting the issue in this repo.
3. If you think that the functionality might be related to the underlying libraries that the cmdlet is calling (We realize that might be difficult to determine), please first double check the code of the cmdlet, which can be found here: https://github.com/pnp/powershell/tree/master/src/Commands. If related to the cmdlet, continue reporting the issue here, otherwise report the issue at https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/issues

hey @webstean , i think the parameter you need to use is -FederatedIdentity not -AzureADWorkloadIdentity for the GH action scenario. WorkloadIdentity is for Kubernetes cluster deployments like this scenario: https://azure.github.io/azure-workload-identity/docs/

Can you please try with Fed Identity parameter and then let us know !

Thanks @gautamdsheth that works, the documentation isn't very clear, perhaps that could be looked at?

Also the rather terse error it gave with -AzureADWorkloadIdentity is still a bug in my opinion, it should provide more details around the error.
