The following single value is not supported

{

If I change input_folder to {src/abap,test/src} it works

Of course I can use just src/abap but I would expect that {src/abap} will work as well.
Also, in my opinion will be better if you use array for specifying more than one value, or use array always.

{
  "input_folder": ["src/abap", "test/src"]
}
