Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/324

I'm not sure how new this is, because I know hashFiles used to only allow one path, but the github actions documentation now says you can supply multiple paths: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#hashfiles

When I try this in act though, I get: [RangeError: expected 1 argument(s); got 3]

My expression is this: ${{ hashFiles('lib/**/*.ex', 'test/**/*.ex', 'mix.lock') }}

EDIT: Another interesting point: in act you can do ${{ hashFiles('{lib/**/*.ex,test/**/*.ex,mix.lock}') }}, but github actions will not recognize the multi-glob pattern.

I can also confirm that this bug exists in act and that the multi-glob patten works in act as a workaround.
