Question

Body

Keep getting that error even though there's no reference to upload-artifact@v3 in my yaml file. My build file has worked fine for years. Just now started getting that error and nothing resolves it. Again, there's no reference to artifact@v3 in my code so it's bizarre. Any ideas? Thank you.

Experienced the same error and also was not using upload-artifact@v3 directly.

However, I was using actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 which I suspect may have been using upload-artifact@v3 under-the-hood (not confirmed).

I think this deprecation notice is relevant: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/142581

By January 30th 2025, GitHub Actions customers will no longer be able to use v3 of actions/upload-artifact or actions/download-artifact.

Upgrading actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 -> actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3 did the trick for me (you may not be using GH pages but perhaps one of your actions is dependent on upload-artifact@v3 as was my case).

Thanks for the helpful link and info! I had to update the following including upload-pages-artifact (copied from another more recently built site on GH pages):

Build

actions/checkout@v3 => actions/checkout@v4
actions/configure-pages@v3 => actions/configure-pages@v4
actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 => actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3

Deploy

actions/deploy-pages@v2 => actions/deploy-pages@v4

I hope this is useful to anyone else. I'm sure there's documentation somewhere on updating and maintaining jekyll-gh-pages.yml.

For your convenience, here is a PowerShell command to search and replace all deploy.yml in a folder:

Get-ChildItem deploy.yml -recurse | ForEach-Object { (Get-Content $_).Replace('actions/checkout@v3','actions/checkout@v4').Replace('actions/configure-pages@v3','actions/configure-pages@v4').Replace('actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2','actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3').Replace('actions/deploy-pages@v1','actions/deploy-pages@v4') | Set-Content $_ }

Welcome to the GitHub Community, @theprop, we're happy you're here! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category and are explicit about what your project entails--giving a few more details might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Yup, guys apparently under the hood dependency issue is popping up; not the best way to throw an error

upgrade the actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 -> actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3; and under the hood thing should align as well

cheers

[paulshuai7910]

this is so great idea! thank you very much

[micwonder]

Great, guys.

Latest updates: https://github.com/actions/download-artifact

uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4

This will solve the problem.

Update Dependencies: Ensure all the actions you're using are up-to-date. Specifically, you might want to check if you're using any action like actions/upload-pages-artifact, and update it to v3. Here’s how you can update:

uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3

Check Other Dependencies: It may also be useful to update other actions (such as actions/checkout) to their latest versions:

uses: actions/checkout@v4
uses: actions/setup-node@v3

[quintonv]

uses: actions/checkout@v4
uses: actions/setup-node@v3

Thanks so much, this did the trick for me, upgrading to the v4 actions
