This is an example of encoding into a file, which then had to be read back out. It’s a convoluted way to pass data.

Hi man!

You’re right! The V4 version is quite new (mid of December) and introduced downloading artifacts from other workflow runs.

“Artifacts can be downloaded from other workflow runs and repositories when supplied with a PAT”

And I didn’t have too much time to update this setup.

Nice article.
Lately there is a download action v4, which would make the “Download artifact” step of download_context_artifact way more simple:
“`
– name: Download Artifact
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
# name: [artifact name] # If specified, files will be extracted to the root folder!
github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
run-id: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}
“`
I am new to Github actions – so I am not sure if this is a new-new setup – or if there is any reason NOT to use this setup though!
