CI: Upgrade to `actions/upload-artifact@v4` and `actions/download-artifact@v4`

Closed this issue · 5 comments

What is the underlying problem you're trying to solve?

GitHub Actions is currently using actions/upload-artifact@v3, which has known issues (see actions/upload-artifact#443). Looking at PRs like #6636, you can see several failed checks due to 503s from uploading the artifact.

Describe the ideal solution

GitHub has released v4 of their Artifacts actions last December. According to a GitHub dev (see actions/upload-artifact#443 (comment)), these are powered by an entirely new backend that should resolve this issue.

Describe a "Good Enough" solution

If something is explicitly chaining OPA to v3 of the Artifacts actions, providing a mechanism for PR authors to trigger a rerun would be appreciated.

Additional Context

FWICT, the pull-request workflow should be directly compatible with v4.

For post-tag and post-merge, however, the lack of unique artifact names will conflict with the new unique artifact label requirements.

providing a mechanism for PR authors to trigger a rerun would be appreciated

That would be useful for sure. If anyone knows of a way to accomplish that, let us know!

@sean-r-williams if you'd like to submit a fix for the pull-request workflow that would be great. We can look into doing the update for the others as well.
