Download action repository 'actions/checkout@v3' (SHA:f43a0e5ff2bd294095638e18286ca9a3d1956744)
Error: Can't use 'tar -xzf' extract archive file: /home/runner/work/_actions/_temp_81e514cc-59b2-4af3-aa4d-6f8210ffde88/752d468e-f00d-474c-af3f-80fbe27b5318.tar.gz. return code: 2.

That hash points to v3.6.0

I do not know what to add here.

It looks like it affects multiple (to say the least) users :)

For a workaround, is anyone aware how to pin version used in a workflow to an earlier release?

up: I too can confirm that changing to checkout@v4 works.

Does this have anything to do with the v4.0 release from @takost & @simonbaird?

Seems to be a transient network-related issue, based on previous instances.

I'm trying to think how this even broke. It must have been on the server side, because we are using actions/checkout@v3, so we should not be affected by the recent v4.0.0 tag.

actions/checkout@v4 - v4 works. It can be used as a quick fix.

The second re-run (third attempt) worked for me: https://github.com/DawnbrandBots/bastion-bot/actions/runs/6074117346
I think it's not related to specifically this repository but with GitHub itself serving the tarball.

Interesting - network reliability aside, I wonder why actions/checkout isn't retrying on network errors.

Confirmed, updating to v4 fixes the issue.

EDIT: No I cannot just change to v4 for a production environment that needs to go live soon.

It's not actions/checkout — it's the Actions runner itself downloading and extracting all the used action packages before starting the workflow.

Is upgrading to v4 A) the best option and B) non-breaking ?

Yeah, this seems unrelated to the checkout action and more an issue on the Runner side.

Changing actions/checkout from v3 to v4 is not a fix, I'm getting random outcomes with either tags, some jobs work other fail.

Confirmed, updating to v4 fixes the issue.

confirmed as well

I can also confirm that the issue did/does exist.

I can't speak for the v4 upgrade being a fix, but doing github "Retry Failed Jobs" a few times eventually allows the job to work (even while keeping the v3 tag). ✨

Still inconsistent/flaky for us, seems to happen for majority of runs.

We have the problem inside matrix builds, but not in our linting job which does not use the matrix declaration

Update to [actions/checkout@v4](https://github.com/actions/checkout/releases/tag/v4.0.0)

According to actions/checkout#1448 it might fix the issue we are encountering. Even if it doesn't, no apparent harm from using the latest version.

According to Status actions are working again... but when I try to use actions/checkout@v3 it takes forever. I didn't let it do its thing because I'm scared it will ruin my deployments. Kinda need this to be fixed today.

841: Bump github actions checkout to v4 r=curquiza a=sanders41

# Pull Request

GitHub Actions are currently failing across multiple repositories with network issues. the checkout action is currently having issues with this, issue [here](actions/checkout#1448), and bumping to the newly released v4 seems to be helping. This action is not the only thing that is having issues with the network problems so we could still see failures until it is resolved, but bumping to v4 is at least helping with the checkout part.

These network issues are also what keep causing #839 to fail.

## Related issue
Fixes #<issue_number>

## What does this PR do?
- Bumps checkout to v4
