upload failed with socket hang up

[Borda]

Hello,
we have been using this action for a few weeks and all were fine till now when I observed the following issue:

Error: request to https://uploads.github.com/repos/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/releases/37292282/assets?name=pytorch_lightning-1.1.7-py3-none-any.whl& failed, reason: socket hang up

Any idea/suggestion on what went wrong?

the trace is here - https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/runs/1822403300?check_suite_focus=true

Pretty sure this is just a network outage. Can't really do much there except for retrying.

[Borda]

ok, so you suggest trying it later again?
just curious what kind of outage since it is running in GH action and release is also in Github...

[svenstaro]

Might still be that the worker's network is broken in some way.

Hello @svenstaro,

I am also facing the same issue and getting the following error. However, I may have a hint to solve this issue.
Error: request to https://uploads.github.com/repos/pranjal-joshi/Screeni-py/releases/42464624/assets?name=screenipy_macos.app& failed, reason: socket hang up

I am using the same action to build packages for Windows, Linux and Mac. Here your action is working fine for Windows(.exe) and Linux(.bin) files because it is a single file. However, for Mac, the compiled output .app is not a file but a special directory that contains a bunch of things needed for Mac.

Can you please make sure whether this GH action is can handle the directory uploading to the release? Because actions/upload-artifact@v2 can handle this type of uploading for artifacts, so you may get an idea by going through their source if needed.

I never had hands-on experience with Mac so feel free to correct me if required.

@Borda I am having a similar issue mentioned in the above comment.
Was it just a network outage? Did you get it working back without any modifications?

Hi, we ended up switching to another solution AButler/upload-release-assets

To make that work I just use PAT around. Not sure if relates but you can try that guys.

- uses: actions/[email protected]
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
        with:
          upload_url: ${{ steps.get_release.outputs.upload_url }}
          asset_path: my-app-${{ matrix.os }}
          asset_name: my-app-${{ matrix.os }}
          asset_content_type: application/zip

Write permissions are required for the upload to succeed (either use token, permissions or change the settings > actions > general):

[svenstaro]

Since we now have retrying as of 2.5.0, I think we can consider the initial problem fixed.

Still experiencing this on 2.5.0
The file is quite big: 1.178 GB
