[bug] Merge artifacts with matrix fails with delete-merged: true

[mohiadeenbatcha]

What happened?

I have a matrix pipeline where I generate artifacts like package_{module1}, package_{module2}

I merge these artifacts in the same folder like "Package" where I put

• name: Merge Artifacts
  uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
  with:
  name: package_${{inputs.module_name}}
  pattern: package_*
  delete-merged: true

Here, what happens is, it was able to merge the artifacts, but when trying to delete because I have "delete-merged: true", the artifacts which were present during the module1 was deleted by another module. so I get an error like "Error: Artifact not found for name: ***"

But I could see the merge was successful which was the end goal.

What did you expect to happen?

I would like to get warning instead of action failure where deletion is not that mandatory. I should only get notified when the actual merge failed.

How can we reproduce it?

Configure a matrix job with multiple modules and each steps should artifact something, and try to merge those artifacts everytime within the matrix. so that you will get the artifacts for each matrix seperately.

Anything else we need to know?

No response

What version of the action are you using?

upload-artifact/merge@v4

What are your runner environments?

i also faced the issue that when we try to use actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4 to bundle all artifacts in one, then one .tar.gz file gets corrupted bcoz it was available in multiple artifacts which i am trying to bundle in one, this is not the case in actions/upload-artifact@v3
