Error: Failed to get R 4.2.0

[richelbilderbeek]

Describe the bug

When running r-lib/actions/setup-r@v1, the following error appears:

Error: Failed to get R 4.2.0: Failed to get R 4.2.0: Failed to download version 4.2.0: Error: Unexpected HTTP response: 403

To Reproduce

See for example this build log or the simplified .yaml file below:

on:
  push:
  pull_request:

name: R-CMD-check

jobs:
  R-CMD-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    env:
      GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: r-lib/actions/setup-r@v1

Expected behavior

That R is setup on GitHub Actions.

Additional context

It still worked approx 2 hours ago.

You can switch to v2: https://github.com/r-lib/actions#releases-and-tags

Yep, that works, thanks! So v1 stopped working at around 8:00 Stockholm time, use v2 as a workaround.

I am unsure to close this Issue, as I feel this is only a workaround...

[gaborcsardi]

v1 is not updated any more. It will work again, once we'll have R 4.2.0 builds available for Linux. But it is better to update to v2.

I switched to v2 but still the error message from above appears.

[gaborcsardi]

@alex-d13 you might need to update this as well: https://github.com/omnideconv/SimBu/actions/runs/2207112235/workflow#L45

[gaborcsardi]

@alex-d13 you can also greatly simplify the workflow, see the examples here: https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/v2/examples
