Action does not download package - fails with "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format" error

[GalOzRlz]

For more than 24 hours our action is failing from time to time with this error - it looks like it won't download the package. Is this a CDN issue on the servers?

I want to fix it with using github cache #87, so after one run it should work.
But I am going to touch only v2

[GalOzRlz]

no problem - we will update to version 2 if needed.

[zonorti]

@GalOzRlz please have a look at my PR. it works for me, but I am new to GH Actions, so YMMV

[creachadair]

I suspect this may have been related to #88, as the error responses would not have been gzipped.

[GalOzRlz]

This is happening again today!

[beaugunderson]

yes, I'm also seeing this hundreds of times today as we use tailscale in our deployment workflow... we upgraded from v1 to v2 and still have the same issue:

[DentonGentry]

@beaugunderson @GalOzRlz
What tailscale version is it trying to download? The v2 action defaults to 1.42.0, is that it or do you set version ?

[GalOzRlz]

@beaugunderson @GalOzRlz What tailscale version is it trying to download? The v2 action defaults to 1.42.0, is that it or do you set version ?

We fix the version to version: 1.30.0 --

  - name: Tailscale
    uses: tailscale/github-action@v1
    with:
      authkey: ${{ secrets.TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY }}
      version: 1.30.0

[beaugunderson]

1.24.2 for us (for no special reason, I assume we could upgrade to something more recent without major issues if it would help)

At this point I don't think a version change would help. We're focussing on the pkgs server and the CDN in front of it, which is used for all Tailscale versions.

Thanks @DentonGentry , much appreciated

A workflow using this GitHub Action passed here a few minutes ago: https://github.com/tailscale/github-action/actions/runs/6403096635/job/17380921729?pr=91

---

I suppose a problem in the CDN serving pkgs.tailscale.com might only manifest in GitHub datacenters other than the one we used for that run. However it looks like all GitHub Actions still run in the US, and the CDN doesn't have a huge number of different regional nodes.

For anyone experiencing trouble today: are you self-hosting runners?

[beaugunderson]

at the moment we’re seeing majority pass, maybe 20-30% fail
