Duplicate Releases Sometimes Created

[gschier]

Using the recommended setup, I sometimes get duplicate releases created for the same tag. Perhaps a race condition?

This ends up with some artifacts uploading to one and other artifacts the other, requiring me to delete the releases and re-run the CI. Perhaps there's an atomic way to do the check/creation step?

Note: I thought this was a total fluke the first time it happened, but I've seen it 2 or 3 times now with https://github.com/yaakapp/app (78 releases)

Perhaps there's an atomic way to do the check/creation step?

As far as i know, only by creating the release in a prior job: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-action/blob/dev/examples/publish-to-manual-release.yml

I would still love to have some kind of workaround so not everyone needs to switch to multiple jobs but i'm out of (reasonable) ideas.

Interesting, you're on first place then. You're also the second person reporting this in the last ~2 weeks. The last report before that was years ago so i wonder if something changed on the server side (cause the action didn't change recently) 🤔

Yes, I wonder if it is indeed a server issue. I don't have any duplicates to look at right now but I do remember looking into it the first time it happened, expecting two platforms to have finished at a similar time, but they were minutes apart (I could be misremembering and will make sure to keep them around to debug, next time)

I also have this issue. Just created two duplicate releases, and it's happened a few times before.

I will add this: the time it just happened I ran the release twice. So it was doing two in parallel. I almost think it can't handle that and you need to do one release at a time...
