WordPress Build Artifact Zip File Empty On Windows

[StephenCronin]

I downloaded wordpress-build-5996.zip from ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/7749179532 but although the file is 45MB, it's empty when I open it in Windows Explorer on Windows 10 Pro (Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045).

When I open it via 7-zip it opens successfully, as expected, so perhaps there is an issue with the zip file format being used (ie it's a format Windows can't read?). I'm not having the same trouble with zip files from other sources.

I recorded a 30 second screencast showing this here: ​https://envato.d.pr/v/UU0s9p/eaBDuOycbf

Please let me know if I can provide any further information. Thanks.

Thanks for this report @StephenCronin.

The GitHub Action workflow responsible for uploading this is not doing anything custom and fully relies on the ​actions/upload-artifact action to ​perform the zipping/uploading. I'm not seeing any issues that appear to be related in their open or closed issue lists.

I noticed that the ZIP you were trying in the description was from a PR. Before recommending you open a bug report there, could you confirm it's still happening with both a ZIP from a PR and from a push event to trunk? Let's try these two respectively:

• ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/11727258851
• ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/11802801427

It's been quite a while, there have been no similar reports, and this is still waiting for additional reporter-feedback. I'm going to close this out, but feel free to reopen this with more details if you are still experiencing this issue @StephenCronin.
