An action that downloads and extracts uploaded artifact associated with given workflow and commit or other criteria.
Let's suppose you have a workflow with a job in it that at the end uploads an artifact using actions/upload-artifact
action and you want to download this artifact in another workflow that is run after the first one. Official actions/download-artifact
does not allow this. That's why I decided to create this action. By knowing only the workflow name and commit SHA, you can download the previously uploaded artifact from different workflow associated with that commit and use it.
If
commit
orpr
orbranch
orrun_id
orworkflow_conclusion
is not specified then the artifact from the most recent successfully completed workflow run will be downloaded.
Do not specify pr
, commit
, branch
, run_id
together or workflow_conclusion
and run_id
together. Pick just one of each or none.
