[BUG] No changes found even if I commit changes on the specified files

[thierryskoda]

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?

Here's what I'm using in my Github action:

- name: Verify Changed files
        uses: tj-actions/verify-changed-files@v14
        id: verify-changed-files
        with:
          files: |
            apps/hcp-app/version.json
            yarn.lock

This action is triggered on every commit on the branch main.

I tried many times to push changes on yarn.lock or apps/hcp-app/version.json but it always says no changes found

Here are some screenshot from the Github action

To Reproduce

1. Create a monorepo
2. Create 1 package with the file version.json (apps/hcp-app/version.json)
3. Create the GitHub action with this step:

- name: Verify Changed files
        uses: tj-actions/verify-changed-files@v14
        id: verify-changed-files
        with:
          files: |
            apps/hcp-app/version.json
            yarn.lock

4. Make your Github action run on every push to the main branch
5. Edit the version.json file and push to main
6. Wait for the job to finish and look if the step detected the changes

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-20.04

Expected behavior?

I expected to see that yarn.lock has changed.

Hi @thierryskoda

NOTE: ⚠️

This action only detects files that have pending uncommited changes generated during the workflow execution, for running a specific step when a file changes in a pull request or based on a new pushed commit

See: https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files
