Why is outputs []?

[BjarkeMeier]

Here is an example where the outputs appears to be an empty array. I expected it to be an object with a functionhost property with value false as there are no changes to any file in the filter.

Screendump of the workflow:

So the guard in line 60 apparently doesn't work as expected. Am I missing something?

Since our filters look like:

      - uses: dorny/paths-filter@b2feaf19c27470162a626bd6fa8438ae5b263721
        id: filter
        with:
          ref: master
          filters: |
            Changesets:
              - added: '.changesets/!(README)*.md'

            Apps:
              - 'apps/!(*storybook)**/*'

            AppStorybook:
              - 'apps/**'
              - 'apps/storybook/**'

            Balance:
              - 'design-system/**'

            Infrastructure:
              - 'infrastructure/**'

I'd expect that our needs.Changes.outputs.Changesets == 'true'

but :

nvm i'm stupid... it was a typo.

actualy path: .changeset/ in my filter: .changesets/!(README)*.md
