Unable to compile pdf app with file path

I Develop on a windows pc and deploy to production on linux.

The pdf reports I newly generated, save path is set to the linux production deploy path, however I cannot compile the pdf report app with the production server save path.

It has worked previously before updating, I have 2 other pdf reports that work fine, but new ones are not letting me save to a path that (currently) does not exist, however it does exist on the production server.

Anyone else dealing with this?

The error on deployment result is:

Applications Result Processing Time
PDF_invoice_print_email The application must be compiled 0.00
Tar.Gz OK 0.47
Processing time .

i don’t really want to migrate my dev to a linux right now so is there away to force it to compile without having it check whether the save output paths are correct?
