Hi I am getting this error on start up. What should I do?

I also get this error when I log in.

Hmm, can you show me your paths.yml file?

Here it is:
https://pastebin.com/eCgh7Yyt - For some reason if i click this pastebin link it won't open. But if I copy it, it works.
It is the same since 4.1 version.
Error Started when I updated to 4.2 and I also updated PluginLibrary to 1.2.
Now I downloaded Autorank4.2.1

Can you add quotes around your values for the in group requirements? So '4' instead of 4

I added them here
prerequisites: in group: value: '1'
And it changed from task 72 to 71

I tried to add '' here too
prerequisites: in group: value: 'VIP'
Just in case but same error.

I also tried
prerequisites: in group: value: one
Instead
prerequisites: in group: value: '1'

I run it on new server without so it can create its own folder and same thing but different task error

Try this version: http://178.62.255.148:8080/job/Autorank/48/

Perfect! Thank You.
