Job fails at setup with 'automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of actions/upload-artifact: v3'
Error: This request has been automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of `actions/upload-artifact: v3`.
Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100
Cause
v1, v2, and v3 of the artifact actions are retired on github.com, and composite actions such as older upload-pages-artifact releases still call v3 internally.
Fix
Move every artifact action, and actions that wrap them, to current majors.
Apply
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4 - uses: actions/download-artifact@v4 - uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v5 - uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4
Affects: actions/upload-artifact and download-artifact v1 to v3 on github.com (v3 deprecation from 2024-11-30); GHES still uses v3
