For a start, can you please apply some more formatting to your question? – Sebastian B.
Hi Did you checked if original file which the symbolic file linked existed? See below answer for more information. – Levi Lu-MSFT

When PublishPipelineArtifact task publishes a folder which contains a symbolic link. It does not preserve the symlink file. Instead the original file(that the symbolic link points to) will be copied in the artifact.

From above error of yours, It looks like the original file which the symbolic file /home/vsts/work/1/s/www/vendor/amphp/parallel-functions/docs/asset points cannot be found.

You can run ls -l symboliclink n a bash task (ie.ls -l $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/www/vendor/amphp/parallel-functions/docs/asset) to check where the symbolic link points to. And make sure the origin file exists.

If the files in folder /home/vsts/work/1/s/www/vendor/amphp/parallel-functions/docs/asset can be omitted in the Artifacts. You can add a .artifactignore file in the same directory as defined as target path to ignore the symbolic file and its contents.
