Several behavioral differences exist between Artifact actions `v3` and below vs `v4`. This document outlines common scenarios in `v3`, and how they would be handled in `v4`.
|
|
|
|
## Multiple uploads to the same named Artifact
|
|
|
|
In `v3`, Artifacts are _mutable_ so it's possible to write workflow scenarios where multiple jobs upload to the same Artifact like so:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
|
|
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a File
|
|
run: echo "hello from ${{ matrix.runs-on }}" > file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
download:
|
|
needs: upload
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Download All Artifacts
|
|
uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact
|
|
path: my-artifact
|
|
- run: ls -R my-artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This results in a directory like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
my-artifact/
|
|
file-macos-latest.txt
|
|
file-ubuntu-latest.txt
|
|
file-windows-latest.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In v4, Artifacts are immutable (unless deleted). So you must change each of the uploaded Artifacts to have a different name and filter the downloads by name to achieve the same effect:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
|
|
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a File
|
|
run: echo "hello from ${{ matrix.runs-on }}" > file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
- name: my-artifact
|
|
+ name: my-artifact-${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
path: file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
download:
|
|
needs: upload
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Download All Artifacts
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
- name: my-artifact
|
|
path: my-artifact
|
|
+ pattern: my-artifact-*
|
|
+ merge-multiple: true
|
|
- run: ls -R my-artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In `v4`, the new `pattern:` input will filter the downloaded Artifacts to match the name specified. The new `merge-multiple:` input will support downloading multiple Artifacts to the same directory. If the files within the Artifacts have the same name, the last writer wins.
|
|
|
|
## Overwriting an Artifact
|
|
|
|
In `v3`, the contents of an Artifact were mutable so something like the following was possible:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a file
|
|
run: echo "hello world" > my-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: my-file.txt
|
|
upload-again:
|
|
needs: upload
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a different file
|
|
run: echo "goodbye world" > my-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: my-file.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The resulting `my-file.txt` in `my-artifact` will have "goodbye world" as the content.
|
|
|
|
In `v4`, Artifacts are immutable unless deleted. To achieve this same behavior, you can use `overwrite: true` to delete the Artifact before a new one is created:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a file
|
|
run: echo "hello world" > my-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: my-file.txt
|
|
upload-again:
|
|
needs: upload
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a different file
|
|
run: echo "goodbye world" > my-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: my-file.txt
|
|
+ overwrite: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this will create an _entirely_ new Artifact, with a different ID from the previous.
|
|
|
|
## Merging multiple artifacts
|
|
|
|
In `v3`, multiple uploads from multiple jobs could be done to the same Artifact. This would result in a single archive, which could be useful for sending to upstream systems outside of Actions via API or UI downloads.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
|
|
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a File
|
|
run: echo "hello from ${{ matrix.runs-on }}" > file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
name: all-my-files # NOTE: same artifact name
|
|
path: file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The single `all-my-files` artifact would contain the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
.
|
|
∟ file-ubuntu-latest.txt
|
|
∟ file-macos-latest.txt
|
|
∟ file-windows-latest.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To achieve the same in `v4` you can change it like so:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
|
|
runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a File
|
|
run: echo "hello from ${{ matrix.runs-on }}" > file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
- name: all-my-files
|
|
+ name: my-artifact-${{ matrix.runs-on }}
|
|
path: file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
|
|
+ merge:
|
|
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
+ needs: upload
|
|
+ steps:
|
|
+ - name: Merge Artifacts
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
|
|
+ with:
|
|
+ name: all-my-files
|
|
+ pattern: my-artifact-*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this will download all artifacts to a temporary directory and reupload them as a single artifact. For more information on inputs and other use cases for `actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4`, see [the action documentation](../merge/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Hidden Files
|
|
|
|
By default, hidden files are ignored by this action to avoid unintentionally uploading sensitive
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
In versions of this action before v4.4.0, these hidden files were included by default.
|
|
|
|
If you need to upload hidden files, you can use the `include-hidden-files` input.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a Hidden File
|
|
run: echo "hello from a hidden file" > .hidden-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
path: .hidden-file.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
jobs:
|
|
upload:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Create a Hidden File
|
|
run: echo "hello from a hidden file" > .hidden-file.txt
|
|
- name: Upload Artifact
|
|
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
|
|
+ uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
path: .hidden-file.txt
|
|
+ include-hidden-files: true
|
|
``` |
