What happened?

When converting pipeline matrices from azure-devops, variables with . in them aren't converted to _. For example, a matrix variable cmake.args would be converted directly to matrix.cmake.args and result in an empty string during evaluation as it's interpreted as an invalid context.

The presence of . also confuses variable lookup when combining env and matrix variables. For example, in one project I had a library variable Common.ispc.version, which was converted to env.ispc_version. I also had a matrix variable ispc as a 0/1 toggle. When converting the jobs, the usage of $(Common.ispc.version) was converted to ${{ matrix.ispc }}.version), finding the incorrect variable and leaving a trailing .version) after the substitution, rather than ${{ env.ispc_version }}.

Based on the information you've provided, it seems that the conversion of pipeline matrices from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions is causing issues with variable naming and lookup. The presence of periods in variable names is causing confusion with the conversion process, resulting in the incorrect substitution of variables. It may be necessary to modify the variable names to avoid periods or use a different method for variable substitution.
