Client_payload weight issue

Hey Lukas, thanks for maintaining this plugin!

I have been making requests to a github repo, and it has been working fine, until I tried exporting tokens from a large file (well, not so large, but lots of typography styles). The token object in the request, even minified, weights 142ko (so not that big…) Still Github throws me a 422 and justifies it by the payload being too large.

Is it possible for you to increase (or specifiy at least) a limit for your payload when the plugin makes the request?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Unfortunately - I’ve got the same error on my side. At some point even the compressed payload became just too bit for GitHub to handle (it’s 69.2 kB with maximum of 50kB for GitHub actions).

As an quick solution I would propose to add the toggle to “send Design Tokens to url” which would remove things like extensions field (and maybe others like description as well if they’re not necessarily needed). The toggle could be named like “Include Design Tokens-specific data” and be toggled on by default, so it won’t be a breaking change.

For me removal of the extensions field alon cut done the compressed JSON filesize by roughly 50%.

Would you accept PR for that?

Unfortunately for the dispatches there isn’t any 😄 I was talking about the GitHub’s upload-artifact action repo. For the dispatch I think we can raise the issue only via feedback page.
