Large Actions artifacts (> ~8MB) will fail checksum when merging their chunks

I’m using a self-hosted Gitea 1.22.0, with the patched version of upload-artifact@v4 (https://github.com/ChristopherHX/gitea-upload-artifact@v4), and am trying to upload a ~1.8GB artifact.

From the Actions step:

Uploaded bytes 1851809172
Finished uploading artifact content to blob storage!
SHA256 hash of uploaded artifact zip is 5445b7ac4b993cbc01f349b0ec90b8ebceee564cff62ce9a529fdb9ce1326886
Finalizing artifact upload
::error::Failed to FinalizeArtifact: Unexpected token 'E', "Error merge chunks%0A" is not valid JSON

When looking at the Gitea server logs, this matches up to this error message:

...artifactsv4.go:363:finalizeArtifact() [E] Error merge chunks: update artifact error checksum is invalid

I did some tests, and it looks like any artifacts that are bigger than roughly 8MB will fail to be merged when finalizing the upload.

I created an issue for this. Large Actions artifacts (> ~8MB) will fail checksum when merging their chunks · Issue #31354 · go-gitea/gitea · GitHub

Hi,

I’m hitting the same issue. Do you guys know any workaround?

Thanks.

Maybe you can use v3 instead.
