A breaking change was made in the 3.2.1 release of the "actions/upload-artifact" action, without doing a major version bump as would be done in a responsibly maintained project. The action now defaults to not uploading "hidden" files.
The when the workflows fail, it stores information in a file called
.check-submissions-failed
.The
.
at the start of the.check-submissions-failed
folder name causes it to now not be uploaded to the workflow artifact. In order to catch such problems, the workflow configures the "actions/upload-artifact" action to fail if no files were uploaded. So in addition to not uploading the artifact, the change in the "actions/upload-artifact" action's behavior also resulted in the workflow runs failing:Error: No files were found with the provided path: /home/runner/work/_temp/.check-submissions-failed. No artifacts will be uploaded.
The problem is fixed by disabling the "actions/upload-artifact" action's new behavior via the
include-hidden-files
input. After this change, the workflow can once more upload the check-submission-failed file to a workflow artifact as needed.Related to arduino/tooling-project-assets#513
