In our builds we noticed that actions/upload-artifact becomes really slow when trying to upload large numbers of files.
For comaprison:
| Content | File Count | Total Size | Upload time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android APKs | 6 | ~88MB | 8s |
| Android Unit Test Results | 1192 | ~13MB | 2m 25s |
This action attempts to reduce the upload time by putting all matched files into a single archive before uploading.
To be used in combination with unarchiving-download-artifact instead of download-artifact.
The inputs of the action mirror actions/upload-artifact except for path stripping:
upload-artifact strips away the directory hierarchy that is common between all path inputs. (See Upload using Multiple Paths and Exclusions)
To replicate the same behavior with this action, make sure to set the directory parameter.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name |
The name under which the artifact will be uploaded |
directory |
The base directory for all path values. Defaults to '.' |
path |
'A file, directory or wildcard pattern that describes what to upload. These must be relative to the directory input parameter.' |
retention-days |
Duration after which artifact will expire in days. 0 means using default retention. Minimum 1 day. Maximum 90 days unless changed from the repository settings page. |
