Azcopy 7.3.0 to copy tables from table storage using GitHub Actions

I'm trying to copy tables from "table storage" using GitHub Actions , but with version 7.3.0 of azcopy shows the following error message : 

[2022/09/27 17:13:45.525+00:00][VERBOSE] 7.3.0 : azcopy --source https://sourcestorage.table.core.windows.net/TestTable1 --destination /home/runner/tableexport/ --source-key ****** --verbose    

Error: 9/27 17:13:45][ERROR] The syntax of the command is incorrect. The source azure storage location type can not be inferred. Use --source-type <blob|file> to specify the location type explicitly.

The source type is not blob or file , and I think that using domain table.core.windows.net the command should detect that the source is table storage. Can you help me with this problem?. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Samael ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A portal and thanks for using Azure Services.

    Regarding the syntax error received as mentioned in the question, could you please try below mentioned command:

    AzCopy /Source:https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/myTable/ /Dest:C:\myfolder\ /SourceKey:key

    Hi,

    Could you please refer to this post's discussions and see if it helps.

    I think that is not my problem because in my case I get only 2 files into directory .

    Directory: D:\a\MDTest\MDTest\tableexport

    Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

    -a--- 10/12/2022 10:33 PM 330 testlakestorage_TestTable1_20221012T223342.3016262Z_0_0_D5681845FB3D
    82AB.json
    -a--- 10/12/2022 10:33 PM 202 testlakestorage_TestTable1_20221012T223342.3016262Z.manifest

    Showing manifest with type command :

    "Version":2,"PayloadFormat":"Json","Checksum":15377567616503481003,"AccountName":"testlakestorage","TableName":"TestTable1","Timestamp":"2022-10-12T22:33:42.3016262Z","SplitSize":0,"TotalDataFiles":1

    I can't watch where is the ':' that is generating the problem. The document appears well formed.

    Best Regards
