[BUG] Cannot unmarshal matrix param

[arminzaugg]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Does this issue exist in the latest version?

• I'm using the latest release

Describe the bug?

I encounter an issue when using the parameter matrix.
In my example the output yields in [demo,homepage]

When using the matrix in the next job I encounter the errror ERRO[0006] Error while evaluating matrix: Invalid JSON: unexpected end of JSON input FATA[0006] Failed to decode node {4 0 !!map <nil> [0x1400041ec80 0x1400041ed20] 45 9} into *map[string][]interface {}: yaml: unmarshal errors: line 45: cannot unmarshal !!str ${{ fro...into []interface {}

However when I hard code the expected matrix value the action works fine.
`
- name: Changed Directories
id: changed_dirs
uses: tj-actions/[email protected]
with:
dir_names: true
matrix: true
path: 'compose-stacks'

  - name: List all changed Directories
    id: get_changed_dirs
    run: |
      echo "${{ steps.changed_dirs.outputs.all_changed_files }}"

deploy:
needs: [changed-dirs]
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
dir: ${{ fromJson(needs.changed-dirs.outputs.matrix) }}
#dir: [demo,homepage]
`

To Reproduce

This might be tricky as I am using a private repo. The relevant parts of the workflow file is copied/pasted above.

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-22.04

Expected behavior?

The output should be used as matrix value in the next job.
