[BUG] Error: xargs: unmatched single quote

[fernandobrito]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug?

I get the following error sometimes:

xargs: unmatched single quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option

To Reproduce

I haven't had time to try to reproduce it locally. I'm first posting here to check if this is a known issue or if someone else already had it before I spend more time troubleshooting it (I'm a bash novice).

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-20.04

Expected behavior?

There should be no errors.

Anything else?

Great project, thanks for maintaining it! Very useful.

For security reasons, I have to hardcode the commit SHAs of external GitHub Actions. The one I'm using for this report is 2f8c46f, which is the equivalent of v9.3.

Hi @jackton1, thanks a lot for the quick action, really appreciated! I will give the newly released version a try next week.

I have an automation that makes a "backup" of some configuration files from external systems into my repository and it uses the original names from the source systems to create folders and files. Now I realize that this automation indeed created files and folders with quotes on the names:

@fernandobrito Okay that makes sense, glad you found the root cause let me know if the error still persist.

Thanks
