File variables not passed into wizard flow

The wizard stops executing, and the user is returned to the calling application with the following error message at the top of the screen:

Wizard could not continue. No file variable was passed in.

Cause

In the Select $L.file by subtab on the File Selection tab, the option "$L.file passed in" was selected, but no file variable was passed in.

Fix

Either call wizard.run with the file parameter passed in correctly, or choose another option in the Select $L.file by tab on the File Selection tab. For example, select Create a record of type.
