Sweep along split line

The code shown now works.

Hi,

I'm trying to workout how to sweep along an edge created by a split in FS as can be done in the UI.

The outline of my code is:

// create plane at angle - THIS WORKS

cPlane(context, id + "bodySplitter", {
"entities" : qCreatedBy(id + config.longeronIndex + "skLine", EntityType.EDGE),
"cplaneType" : CPlaneType.LINE_ANGLE,
"offset" : 0 * millimeter,
"angle" : planeAngle,
"oppositeDirection" : false,
"flipAlignment" : false,
"flipNormal" : false
});

// split solid body with plane - THIS WORKS      

opSplitPart(context, id + "splitPart1", {
        "targets" : config.solidBody,
        "tool" : qCreatedBy(id + "bodySplitter", EntityType.FACE)
});

// use sweep to create a body using previously sketched profiles -  - THIS NOW WORKS

 sweep(context, id + "sweep1",
        {
                "bodyType" : ExtendedToolBodyType.SOLID,
                "operationType" : NewBodyOperationType.NEW,
                "profiles" : config.longeronProfiles[0].sketchRegion,
                "path" : qNthElement(qCreatedBy(id + "splitPart1", EntityType.EDGE), 2),    
                "profileControl" : ProfileControlMode.NONE    
            });

The sweep throws an execution error.

I have a test document here which shows what I'm trying to achieve using the UI:

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.
