We have the same issue in https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action/issues/190, GitHub API looks broken 😞

btw, wanna leave here public BIG thanks to @crazy-max for getting on top of it 💙

successfully run a release just now: https://github.com/caarlos0/goreleaser-action-v4-auto-snapshot-example/actions/runs/4029341069/jobs/6927878915

okay just released https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser-action/releases/tag/v4.1.1

@caarlos0

It could be something related to the URL to get the release…

What do you think of replacing this: https://github.com/goreleaser/${distribution}/releases/${resolvedVersion} by this?: https://api.github.com/repos/goreleaser/${distribution}/releases/${resolvedVersion}

do a get on this URL (https://api.github.com/repos/goreleaser/goreleaser/releases/latest), it brings the right list of assets

Thanks so much for taking care of it so fast. 🙏

till on Jan 28, 2023

@wcmjunior Should be sorted with https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action/pull/192

We are going to do the same here

Same issue here. ~Also I’m a bit puzzled at what is the point of me pinning the SHA of the action (and reviewing dependabot updates as needed) but then not getting reproducible builds?~

edit: Sorry for jumping the gun initially, that’s on me for leaving

          version: latest

in the action config itself and I guess noone’s fault if the URL disappeared (well, github’s maybe) - thanks in advance for the quick fixes

@budnieswski yes, that URL worked before though…, they just broke it it seems 😐

caarlos0 on Jan 28, 2023

we’re going to do this: https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action/pull/191

it seems that github stopped supporting the url we were using to get the releases…

caarlos0 on Jan 28, 2023

oh, but we do actually get the “biggest” version number from https://goreleaser.com/static/releases.json , so maybe its downloading from github that was failing?

caarlos0 on Jan 28, 2023

in this particular case, I think we could use https://goreleaser.com/static/latest instead… will see if I can fix it real quick
