GitHub Action Error - Artifact Upload Conflict

[vchendrix]

The GitHub Action actions/upload-artifact@v4 encountered an error during the artifact upload process. The error indicates that an artifact with the specified name already exists in the current workflow run, causing a conflict.

Error Message:

Run actions/upload-artifact@v4

With the provided path, there will be 30 files uploaded
Artifact name is valid!
Root directory input is valid!
Error: Failed to CreateArtifact: Received non-retryable error: Failed request: (409) Conflict: an artifact with this name already exists on the workflow run

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Trigger the GitHub Action workflow that includes the actions/upload-artifact@v4 step.
2. Ensure that the artifact name specified in the upload step is the same as an existing artifact in the current workflow run.

Expected Behavior:
The artifact should be uploaded successfully without any conflicts.

Actual Behavior:
The upload process fails with a 409 Conflict error because an artifact with the same name already exists.

Possible Solutions:

1. Rename the Artifact: Modify the artifact name to ensure it is unique for each workflow run.
2. Conditional Upload: Implement a check to see if an artifact with the same name already exists before attempting to upload.
3. Cleanup Previous Artifacts: Ensure that previous artifacts are cleaned up or overwritten if they are no longer needed.

This error is happening again. PR #206

I was able to get by this error by running each version individually. This makes me think maybe there is a collision happening, e.g., 2 versions (say 3.9 and 3.10) are trying to write artifacts at the same time??

Interesting, I thought I fixed that with overwrite: true

I wonder if we can change these to run serially.

@dschristianson this might be a solution actions/upload-artifact#480 (comment)

If comes up again, plan is to remove.
