## v5 - What's new
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, **single artifact downloads** behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:
|
||||
|
||||
- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (direct)
|
||||
- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/my-artifact/` (nested)
|
||||
|
||||
Now both methods are consistent:
|
||||
|
||||
- **By name**: `name: my-artifact` → extracted to `path/` (unchanged)
|
||||
- **By ID**: `artifact-ids: 12345` → extracted to `path/` (updated - now direct)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Migration Guide
|
||||
|
||||
You download **single artifacts by ID** and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before v5 (nested structure):**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
|
||||
with:
|
||||
artifact-ids: 12345
|
||||
path: dist
|
||||
# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Where `my-artifact` is the name of the artifact you previously uploaded
|
||||
|
||||
**To maintain old behavior:**
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v5
|
||||
with:
|
||||
artifact-ids: 12345
|
||||
path: dist/my-artifact # Explicitly specify the nested path
|
||||
```
