Description

When actions-rs/[email protected] tries to download a crate from the tools cache, it gets an Unexpected HTTP response: 403.

Workflow code

    steps:

Action output

Run actions-rs/[email protected]
  with:
    crate: trunk
    version: latest
    use-tool-cache: true
    use-cache: true
Tool cache is explicitly enabled via the Action input
Downloading from the tool cache
  Newest trunk version available at crates.io: 0.8.2
  Downloading trunk signature into /tmp/trunk.zip.sig
  Warning: Unable to download trunk == latest from the tool cache: Error: Unexpected HTTP response: 403

Expected behavior

That Trunk got quickly installed using the tool cache.

I found a very similar looking issues in the old repo: https://github.com/actions-rs/tool-cache/issues/23 and that one is apparently related to https://github.com/actions-rs/tool-cache/issues/18 which might be the root issue.

Something about the action seems to get disabled, if there has been no activity on the repo for 60 days.

Is there any progress on this issue? I just tried using tool-cache on wasm-pack and got a 403.

from tools-cache README:

Deprecation warning

It is archived now and will not be updated anymore. actions-rs/install Action will be updated eventually to utilize GitHub runners cache to store compiled binaries.

so presumably this will not be fixed until the cache method changes to https://github.com/actions-rs/meta/issues/21
