Re-running the workflow did work. Weird one-time error

[steph2282]

So it's fixed?

[TrentScholl]

I've been getting this error frequently over the past 2 days. Re-running usually fixes it, but we're seeing a lot of first time builds fail.

[IvanBioRender]

Still getting this issue 4 days later. Are there any updates?

Still getting this issue. Are there any updates?

I had this come up several times today aswell. Seems to be an intermittent problem

[wilton-wu]

I've been getting the problem of long execution time today, and sometimes had this error('/bin/tar failed'). but there were no such problems yesterday.

[jay-babu]

My pipeline keeps failing because of this error. Has occurred before, but re-running multiple times today has not fixed the issue.

[IvanBioRender]

I posted a forum thread, hoping to get some kind of response from Github: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/actions-setup-node-v1-The-process-bin-tar-failed-with-exit-code/m-p/48590#M7221

I'll look into this shortly (next couple hours). Sounds like incomplete download, prob not checking HTTP code. Probably needs retries too.

[ericsciple]

OK i think i see the bug. It looks like error handling on dest stream (file stream), but not the HTTP response body stream. Working on it... Also looks like retry around getting a successful HTTP code, but no retry when reading body. So i'll add that too.

PR here actions/toolkit#369

[ericsciple]

also related to actions/runner-images#42

I still have this issue today, and retry does not seem fix that every time.

[AlCalzone]

Still happening to me every time Dependabot does its weekly update PR run. About half of my workflows fail due to this.

[ericsciple]

The tar error was fixed.

[munrocket]

@ericsciple so you just retring to download?
Seems the same problem with actions/cache/issues/267

[wzhdaag]

I still see this issue.

I am downloading a tar.gz file from https://github.com/adoptium/temurin17-binaries/releases via our internal Artifactory's as proxy.

Re-run helps.

[hydrolucid]

Getting this error quite a bit, have to re-run jobs multiple times to get successful runs.
