Does this issue exist in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Describe the bug?

I'm trying to use this GH workflow to verify whether a specific init.py file was modified or not.
I've tried to use regex, specific paths, and other options as well but it keeps failing with the following error:

Step content:
- name: Get changed files id: changed-files uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v34.6.1 with: files: | commons/__init__.py

To Reproduce

Add the following step:

      - name: Get changed files
        id: changed-files
        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v34.6.1
        with:
          files: |
            commons/__init__.py

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-20.04

Expected behavior?

@giladlevy7 Does the file exists in the repo ?

[giladlevy7]

@jackton1 yes, it exist (but it should work even if it doesn't, right?)

@giladlevy7 Can you also include your configuration of the https://github.com/actions/checkout?

[giladlevy7]

@jackton1 of course, thanks for helping.

@giladlevy7 Can you upgrade actions/checkout@v2 to v3

[jackton1]

@giladlevy7 Closing this issue, for now, since a new version has been released. Let me know if the issue persists and I can reopen the issue. I also recommend that you enable debugging and post the entire log output i.e including the checkout and the changed files actions steps

@jackton1
I would still appreciate your assistance
this is what I'm using now:

    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    timeout-minutes: 30
    if: ${{ github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' || github.event.pull_request.base.ref == 'main' }}
    strategy:
      fail-fast: true
      matrix:
        python-version: [ 3.10.0 ]

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-python@v3
        with:
          python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
        # First, we verify that init file was changed
      - name: Get changed files
        id: changed-files
        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v34.6.1
        with:
          files: |
            __init__.py

and unfortunately it still fails:

is it working for you with finding init.py file?

i don't think it's the code checkout since if I'm looking for another file - it works, or without any filter - also works
failing only on init

[giladlevy7]

hi @jackton1 !

can we reopen that?
were you able to use the "files" filter for init.py file?
