Support artifacts

[sandorex]

It would be really helpful if artifacts could be supported

[SteadBytes]

👍 for supporting artifacts. Or at the very least it could be helpful to produce an explicit warning/error when these actions are used. AFAICT, a step using the artifact actions will succeed but no artifact will be uploaded/downloaded.

Great call, good feature to add. Anyone have a sample workflow to use?

This is use case we have in buildpacks/pack. We ultimately want to run test and build always and then use the artifacts for the release job.

Is there any progress? Can I help with something?

[jromero]

Typically these artifacts are shipped via the gh API and then referenced by url.

I don't know how other parts, if any, work with mocking or intercepting GH API calls but I would think that is necessary to properly mock this locally. Am I wrong?

[krailler]

How works actions/cache? Seems similar no?

[wyTrivail]

we also have the same issue while using upload-artifacts, we got the error

[CI/build]   💬  ::debug::Root artifact directory is /github/workspace/build
[CI/build]   ❗  ::error::Unable to get ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN env variable
[CI/build]   ❌  Failure - Upload

it would be great if it can be mocked.
