[SOLVED] How to get a list off directories that match an pattern and iterate overt this dirs in gihub actions?

Issue

I'm trying to get a list of dirs inside a certain dir that match a pattern, but no success, it is returning an empty list:

      - name: Run tests in all lambdas
        if: steps.changes.outputs.layers == 'true'
        run: |
          dirs=(test/lambdas/pre-*)
          for dir in dirs; do
            echo "Running command in $dir"
            if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
              (
                cd "$dir" &&
                yarn &&
                yarn prettier:check &&
                yarn build:check &&
                yarn test
              ) || echo "An error occurred in $dir"
            fi
          done

How can I get the list of dirs with this name pattern pre-* then iterate over each matching dir and do some actions ?

Solution

for dir in dirs; do

Iterates over one string dirs. Expand dirs bash array to iterate over it.

for dir in "${dirs[@]}"; do

Research a bash array introduction. Overall, just:

for dir in test/lambdas/pre-*; do
