dorny/paths-filter@v2 filter condition returns false with Matching files: none

[topeawolwo]

I am working with this filter to list changed files or changed directories within a repository. I had made changes to files within the repository

Execute step in a workflow job only if some file in a subfolder is change

• uses: dorny/paths-filter@v2 id: filter with: base: ${{ github.base_ref }} working-directory: ${{ inputs.dir-root }} list-files: shell filters: | hcls:

  • added|modified: '${{ inputs.dir-root }}/**/terragrunt.hcl'
  • added|modified: '${{ inputs.dir-root }}/**/.terraform.lock.hcl'
  • '**/' token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

• name: Changed HCL if: ${{ steps.filter.outputs.hcls == 'true' }} run: | echo ${{ steps.filter.outputs.hcls_files }}

I defined my execute step in a workflow job only if some file in a subfolder is changed

as

``

• name: Changed HCL if: ${{ steps.filter.outputs.hcls == 'true' }} run: | echo ${{ steps.filter.outputs.hcls_files }}

``

In my githubaction workflow I am having this error :

Filter hcls = false Matching files: none Changes output set to []

why is "Filter hcls = false" when I had defined a condition if: ${{ steps.filter.outputs.hcls == 'true' }}
