Body

Hi, I want to compile with pdflatex every file that matches the glob *.tex so I can validate the latex works. Unfortunately, I don't think the github actions shell recognizes glob.
In my file below, ls *.tex errors out and the for loop doesn't run at all. Nothing is printed to console or in a log file

# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions

name: CI

# Controls when the workflow will run
on:
  # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the "main" branch
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
