Render Trim Path Animation

Hello there,

I am trying to animate a path via trim path in order to create a checkmark. I have attached a screen grab of my project to demonstrate how I achieve this animation. I notice that although the checkmark is visible on the preview montior, when I render the project (Lossless with Alpha) there is no checkmark visible in the output. 

I checked the forum for a solution prior to posting and found: 

https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/is-there-plugin-to-make-shape-path-visible-in-videos-after-rendering/m-p/11497972#M152012 
This post outlines the ability to render shape paths with plugins, yet I wanted to ensure there was a way to render paths innately without any outside assistance. Is there any possibility of rendering shape paths without plugins?

Thank you

Solution: 

Left of Shape Layer Name is "Guide Layer" icon. Right click the icon and remove guide layr property. The path should now render to output.
