I built it successfully, but I can't find the file upload location.

It's not in the release, where is it?

Did you figure it out? 🙏

No. I'll wait and see, and if it doesn't work, I'll consider something else. If I find a way, I'll share it.

Dealing with the same thing. I look at the workflow runs I see

v1.0.5
Build/release #13: Commit abc123 pushed by travisbumgarner
13 hours ago  3m 18s v1.0.5

v1.0.5
Build/release #12: Commit abc123 pushed by travisbumgarner
13 hours ago  10m 23s main

The workflow with main succeeds. If I look at the logs it looks like everything goes successfully.

The workflow with tag v1.0.5 fails

 ⨯ snapcraft is not installed, please: sudo snap install snapcraft --classic  
  ⨯ .../app-builder process failed ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE

So I'm currently a little confused as to why there are two workflows and why is one failing and one not.

Same case here, also building for macos and windows. Everything green, but can't find the artifcats uploaded.

Got it.

So, considering you have the default action configuration which will make releases for pushed tags that start with v, you want to do the following:

1- Make sure you have committed your latest changes, then create a new tag, for example git tag v0.1.0.
2- Push everything to the remote branch, including your newly created tag: git push origin <branch> --tags or just that one tag git push origin v0.1.0
3- Workflows will run and generate a draft of a release for that tag you pushed, with all your binaries attached. From there you can generate an actual release from the draft and/or simply download the files you need.

My mistake was thinking that I needed to create both a release and a tag for it to run. I plan on changing this in the future so the artifacts get attached to the created release instead. Not sure if possible, but would be much more intuitive for me personally.

same problem here, not sure if I didn't follow @gugiserman properly but I still run into this issue
