Problem matchers which match an invalid file cause annotations to come up as being in the file .github

[peternewman]

Describe the bug
If a problem matcher doesn't match a valid file (e.g. the regex captures "test.txt ", with a space at the end, the annotation comes up as being in the file .github rather than the matched file.

To Reproduce
Create a problem matcher which matches at least an invalid filename, or possibly a file not in the repo.

Expected behavior
Either not annotating .github, or annotating the match for a filename that doesn't exist, or perhaps clearest some sort of error somewhere (perhaps in the action log), that the matched filename doesn't exist.

"annotating the match for a filename that doesn't exist" sounds most useful, and maybe if possible indicate that the file was not found in the repo. Although, tbh, .github is also not a file, but a directory..

I think the issue was if it shows up on .github you can't tell which file it was trying to tag and therefore work out what was going on.

Yes, exactly. That was more a quip that .github is a directory, not a file. Well, it's late :-P
