• ORT version: [e.g. 37.0.0]
• Java version: [e.g. 21]
• OS: [e.g. Linux]

The error appeared after building latest ORT version, I am not sure how to proceed with this

Does this occur when using https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort-ci-gitlab? If so, please file the issue over there.

Anyway, as the error message says, "Option path is required but not set". So no path is set for your FilePackageCurationProvider. Which probably is because you're using an outdated key name for the parent node: Use "options" instead of "config".

Great, I resolved the issue! I’m using this filter to track breaking changes, but this one wasn’t included. Are there any additional filters I should consider adding?

Good, then let's close the issue.

No. We somewhat deprecated the use of PR labels for breaking changes in favor of listing them in the release notes on a per-commit basis. I'd recommend to watch the release notes instead.
