When using version 12.2, it works.

@ClenchPaign For now I'll suggest downgrading to v12.2 and would be back-porting the latest changes excluding "Glob pattern" filtering pending feedback on this.

I'll also replicate this to find a possible resolution.

@ClenchPaign Since this bug isn’t an issue with this action but a problem reusing actions this can be closed and any further support can be provided on the PR linked above.

@ClenchPaign I tested this using a self-hosted runner on mac and it's working fine.

Things to note:

Current runner version: '2.287.1'

I'll be updating the docs to reflect this let me know if you hit any other issues. Thanks
