System.IO.IOException: Invalid argument

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I am running a job inside a container. (SELF-hosted runner w/ GHES 3.2.6) However, very occasionally, a step randomly fail due to the following reason;

Error: Invalid argument

Here’s my workflow snippet;

      - name: main; download frontend base model if exist
        uses: CODE-Actions/download-artifact@v2
        if: ${{ matrix.base != '' }}
        with:
          path: /tmp/INBOUND
          name: tmp_frontend_${{ matrix.base }}.result

      - name: temp; list of frontend test results
        run: |
          ls -ARl /tmp/INBOUND
        shell: bash

@nikola-jokic Thank you for the feedback. I’ll prepare example workflows soon.

So far… I have 5 failures out of 3,000 jobs. Looks like there is no easy reproducible scenarios. It does not occur only in a specific step, but occurs randomly in several places.
