Github actions / Run job after matrix is done

Question

I have this situation:

jobs:
  shake:
    name: 'NodeJS ${{ matrix.node }}'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        fruit: [strawberry, banana, apple]

    steps:
      - run: echo "::set-output name=action_fruit::${{ matrix.fruit }}"

I'd love to execute a job or step once the entire matrix is over.

I should be able to run the job/step regardless of the failure
I should also be able to access their output.

It seems that you can achieve the desired result by using if: always() on your dependant job. Further info is available here: https://github.community/t/run-dependent-job-even-on-failure/115914

jobs:
  shake:
    ...
  post_shake:
    if: ${{ always() }}
    needs: [shake]
    steps:
      ...

I did that: you must add a needs clause in the following job, e.g.

jobs:
  shake:
    ...
  post_shake:
    needs: [shake]
    steps:
      ...
