I’m creating a workflow that need to save artifacts in build step and same artifacts in deploy step.
upload-artifacts working well, but download-artifacts can’t find the folder I’ve uploaded.

upload-artifact

    - name: Save public folder
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
        name: public
        path: public

Upload Log:

  Save public folder2s
Artifact public has been successfully uploaded!
Run actions/upload-artifact@v2
With the provided path, there will be 36 files uploaded
Total size of all the files uploaded is 798442 bytes
Finished uploading artifact public. Reported size is 798442 bytes. There were 0 items that failed to upload
Artifact public has been successfully uploaded!

Download artifact’s folder:

- name: Download files to publish
        uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: public

Download log

Download files to publish0s
##[error]Unable to find any artifacts for the associated workflow
Run actions/download-artifact@v2
##[error]Unable to find any artifacts for the associated workflow

This is the workflow file: https://github.com/rafaels-dev/gatsby-github-personal-website/blob/bd66d34420fdc954b7e6289b4ecaa8f2e9b29cdf/.github/workflows/node.js.yml

You can see the error in this run https://github.com/rafaels-dev/gatsby-github-personal-website/actions/runs/122591922

What’s wrong on my file?

I notice your “deploy” job doesn’t have a needs: build setting, so it should be started in parallel (if there’s room in the runner queue). Considering the build is likely to take some time the likely answer is that the artifact hasn’t been uploaded yet when the download-artifact step is running.

But that defeats the entire purpose of needs:, no?
The job should be considered completed when the artifact is uploadaed, not when the upload command is conveyed.

How do you mean? The problem in the original question was that there was no needs, so nothing tried to wait. With the needs relationship using artifacts from the needed job should just work.

Sorry -- I completely misunderstood the question AND the answer as well -- got it.

what was the actual command you ended up using? After reading about “needs” I’m still not sure how to direct it towards my build.

I have a similar case:

2 jobs within same workflow
job1 triggered when pushed to branch
it uploads artifact from job1 and it shows successfully uploaded. Link to artifact also appears in GH Actions. I can download a zipped copy to my local machine.
Job2 has a different trigger (PR closed/merged with main). when I trigger job2, download cannot find the artifact.
If I use "needs", it reruns job1, which I do not want to be re-triggered. Retriggering creates an unwanted new artifact.
I have not been able to resolve this issue.

Since this came up as a top search result:

We accepted a dependabot update [1] for download-artifact and we did not update upload-artifact which caused our artifacts not to be available. Update both dependencies at the same time to resolve this issue, as was done with [2].

[1] Bump actions/download-artifact from 3 to 4 opensearch-project/OpenSearch#11631
[2] Bump actions/upload-artifact from 3 to 4 opensearch-project/OpenSearch#11647
