@sangshuduo it appears there’s an unescaped character in the filename which is the cause of the error you are seeing. I'll recommend switching from bash loops to natively supported GitHub action function.

CHANGE

for file in ${{ steps.changed-files.outputs.all_changed_files }}; do
  echo "$file was changed"
done

TO

echo '${{ toJSON(steps.changed-files.outputs) }}'

It would be helpful to also post the filename.
