Variable in artifacts/paths not working since upgrade to 15.8.0

Hello,

I have problem with using CI/CD variable in arifacts/paths. I have variable APP_BUILD_FOLDER defined on project level with value "edrewe-connector-component/target".

Following code does not work on gitlab runner version 15.8.0, older versions for example 15.7.1 are ok.

...
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - "${APP_BUILD_FOLDER}/*.jar"
    expire_in: 1 week
...

Output on version 15.8.0:

WARNING: ${APP_BUILD_FOLDER}/*.jar: no matching files 
ERROR: No files to upload        

Output on version 15.7.1:

Uploading artifacts...
edrewe-connector-component/target/*.jar: found 1 matching files and directories 

If I replace variable with its content pipeline is ok, so it looks to me variables used in artifact/paths are not correctly expanded in version 15.8.0. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thank you for alll answers in advance. BR, Martin
