error in Header-based Session Management

[Gary Guo (Gary Guo)]

Hi team, I installed the  Authentication Helper add-on, and configure context with header-based session management, then I ran the AF with desktop GUI, but It failed with the following error.

The configuration of header-based session management as the following shows:

Header: Cookie

Value:  token={%json:authentication.token%}

Have you updated all of the other add-ons?

I think thats already been fixed in the latest version of the automation add-on.

Cheers,
