Ah yes. That's because the filePath property is evaluated in a different
context and at a later stage (so that you can refer to "inputs", for
instance). This means your approach cannot work as is; you'll have to
look for a different way to set your output file name. There are lots of
possibilities; for instance, you could derive it from the name of the
first input artifact. It just has to be unique.
