Error: Failed to upload release asset my-filename. received status code 404

[vitalyk-multinarity]

I'm getting "Error: Failed to upload release asset output-metadata.json. received status code 404" error. I'm calling action-gh-release with

- uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1 name: release_artifacts if: github.event_name == 'release' with: files: | Android/build/outputs/apk/debug/* Android/installhandlerapp/build/outputs/apk/debug/*
i.e. I'm not mentioning output-metadata.json explicitly.
And I have output-metadata.json in both directories.

  Any suggestions?
  Thank you,

Vitaly

Hey @vitalyk-multinarity, I guess you probably do not have the issue anymore, but I got it as well, and it was caused by the fact that I had multiple files with the same name on different directory in the files option.
I think it's because release assets cannot contain directory name, only a file name, so the action takes the file name and I guess it creates a conflict leading to an error (don't know why it's a 404 though).
Anyway, I flattend the directory so that if contains unique file names, and now it works.
Hope it helps

@guillaumejacquart - thank you, good point!
(To say the truth I don't remember how I fixed my issue.)
