File names?

[asmaloney]

I'm having troubles with file names. I'm trying to download the source from this release.

So I have (hardcoded tag for now):

      - name: Get Release Info
        run: |
          echo "RELEASE_TAG=sbcl-2.2.5" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo "Using tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}"
      - name: Get SBCL source code
        uses: robinraju/release-downloader@v1.3
        with:
          repository: 'sbcl/sbcl'
          tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}
          zipBall: true
      - name: Decompress
        run: |
          unzip "${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}.zip"
          cd sbcl-${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}

However I don't know how to sort out the file name.

• If I look at the link on the release page, it's sbcl-2.2.5.zip: https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl/archive/refs/tags/sbcl-2.2.5.zip
• If I download the file through that like, it creates a file called sbcl-sbcl-2.2.5.zip
• When I run the action, it does this (which gives yet another name - sbcl-SBCL 2.2.5.zip):

  Fetching release sbcl-2.2.5 from repo sbcl/sbcl
  Downloading file: sbcl-SBCL 2.2.5.zip to: /home/runner/work/sbcl-build/sbcl-build
  Done: /home/runner/work/sbcl-build/sbcl-build/sbcl-SBCL 2.2.5.zip
  

How do I get the downloaded file name to unzip it?

Thanks!

When downloading a zipBall or tarBall, the action currently names the file as follows
{repo-name}-{release name}.zip
The release you're trying to download has the name SBCL 2.2.5. Thus it downloads a file with the name sbcl-SBCL 2.2.5.zip

you can try something like this for now

  - name: Decompress
    run: |
      ls -lrth
      unzip "sbcl-SBCL 2.2.5.zip"
      ls -lrth

I think the prefix repo-name to the file name is unnecessary. I'll remove that part and also keep the file name equivalent to the tag name.
Once it is fixed, you may use it as unzip "${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}.zip"

A fix for this is now merged to main
You can use it using the commit hash until the next release is available as follows

      - name: Get Release Info
        run: |
          echo "RELEASE_TAG=sbcl-2.2.5" >> $GITHUB_ENV
          echo "Using tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}"
      - name: Get SBCL source code
        uses: robinraju/release-downloader@0431bf60ebfbe10b077c9e7d61b448ef16e9efc6
        with:
          repository: 'sbcl/sbcl'
          tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}
          zipBall: true
      - name: Decompress
        run: |
          ls -lrth
          unzip "${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}.zip"
          ls -lrth

Thanks Robin.

I think this repo is an unusual case though. Most tags I've seen are of the form v1.5.2 in which case the file name you generate won't contain the name of the project: v1.5.2.zip

Don't we want {repo-name}-{release-tag}.zip?

Then it would become sbcl-sbcl-2.2.5.zip which matches the file as if I downloaded it manually.

[robinraju]

{repo-name}-{release-tag}.zip sounds reasonable. a release-tag may not contain space between its name. It was not the case previously, I was using the release name instead.

[robinraju]

can you try this one (latest commit on main),

     - name: Get SBCL source code
       uses: robinraju/release-downloader@768e5668c501e732416580dbb1f56794f4d1f590

It creates file with name: {repo-name}-{release-tag}.zip

Great stuff - thank you for your help!

(To mark something as an answer it seems it can't be a response?)

Here's my final result:

      - name: Get Release Info
        run: |
          echo "RELEASE_TAG=${GITHUB_REF/refs\/tags\//}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
      - name: Get SBCL source code
        uses: robinraju/release-downloader@768e5668c501e732416580dbb1f56794f4d1f590
        with:
          repository: 'sbcl/sbcl'
          tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}
          zipBall: true
      - name: Decompress
        run: |
          echo "Using tag: ${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}"
          ls -lrth
          unzip sbcl-${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}.zip -d sbcl-${{ env.RELEASE_TAG }}
          ls -lrth

Thank you for your help!
