Pattern does not match any files

[martinrotter]

Here is output of "dir":

    Directory: D:\a\rssguard\rssguard\rssguard-build

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name

But my script does not produce expected result:

Run softprops/action-gh-release@v1
  with:
    prerelease: true
    name: Development builds
    tag_name: devbuild
    files: .\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win7.exe
  .\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win7.7z
  .\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win10.exe
  .\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win10.7z
  ./rssguard-build/rssguard-*mac64.dmg
  ./rssguard-build/rssguard-*linux64.AppImage

🤔 Pattern '.\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win7.exe' does not match any files.
🤔 Pattern '.\rssguard-build\rssguard-*win7.7z' does not match any files.

Pattern should clearly match and it did match some weeks/month ago without any related changes in my code. Maybe some regression in your great code. :)

We get the same output as we are running this on our own self-hosted runner on our windows server 2019 machine.
It's because this only works on POSIX paths al of a sudden.

Could it have something to do with the latest dep update of actions/glob?

[johannesnormannjensen]

For now our workaround is: uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v0.1.13

[softprops]

Thanks for the report. In the most recent update, the glob dep was upgraded from 7.1.6 to 8.

https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob/blob/main/changelog.md#80

I see some changes which look like they affect windows users regarding the \ the character

[softprops]

The latest glob readme recommends using forward slashes on windows https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#windows

I think I might be able to make this backwards compatible by detecting windows trying as is and then falling back by trying to replace \ with /

I see. OK, I migrated to forward slashes, which I like more than backward ones anyway.

Thanks.

Me too, but sometimes we're confronted with the nasty windows behaviour of backslashed pathes :(

      ...
      uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
      with:
        prerelease: true
        files: ${{github.workspace}}/build/packages/*
      ...

This gives:

🤔 Pattern 'D:\a\OpenHantek6022\OpenHantek6022/build/packages/*' does not match any files.
🤔 D:\a\OpenHantek6022\OpenHantek6022/build/packages/* not include valid file.

Any chance to "rectify" the ${{github.workspace}} pattern?

As a quick fix I reverted to action-gh-release@v0.1.13 as proposed above.

Any progress?

[martinrotter]

I switched to forward slashes, honestly why care?

[Ho-Ro]

Because sometimes e.g. ${{github.workspace}} forces backslashes like in my example above.

[martinrotter]

You can replace ${{github.workspace}} with . (dot) to have same effect.

Thx, stupid me, I couldn't see the forest for the trees :)
