Gate asset delete on the release create/refresh condition by ptr727 · Pull Request #218 · ptr727/ProjectTemplate

ptr727 · 2026-06-26T19:21:14Z

Problem

Closes#217. In build-release-task.yml's github-release job the two paired steps had mismatched conditions:

Create GitHub release step — if: exists == 'false' || workflow_dispatch
Delete consumed release asset artifacts step — if: expect_release_assets

On a scheduled run where the release tag already exists (no new commits), the create step is skipped but build-nugetlibrary still uploaded release-asset-<branch>-*, so the delete step removed the freshly built artifacts even though nothing was published/refreshed this run. Low impact (retention-days: 1 means nothing is permanently lost) but the delete's premise ("durable copies now on the release") doesn't hold for that run.

Fix

Gate the delete on the same condition as the create step:

if: ${{ inputs.expect_release_assets && (steps.release-exists.outputs.exists == 'false' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch') }}

So it only deletes when a release was actually created/refreshed; otherwise the fresh artifacts stay for the run and retention-days: 1 reaps them.

Surfaced via Copilot during the downstream re-sync of #213/#214 (ptr727/LanguageTags#195) and reported upstream rather than diverged locally.

Verification

actionlint (Docker) clean; CRLF preserved.

Pull request overview

This PR adjusts the build-release-task.yml reusable workflow so the cleanup step that deletes release-asset-<branch>-* workflow artifacts is gated by the same condition as the GitHub release creation/refresh step, avoiding deletion on no-op scheduled runs where the tag already exists.

Changes:

Gate the "Delete consumed release asset artifacts" step on (release does not exist) OR (manual refresh condition), matching the create-release step logic.
Expand the surrounding comment to document why the delete is now gated.

…condition Pull down the template fix for the edge case reported as ProjectTemplate#217: the surgical delete step now gates on the same `exists=='false' || workflow_dispatch` condition as the create step, so a scheduled re-run on an existing tag no longer deletes the freshly built artifacts (retention-days: 1 reaps them instead).

…condition Pull down the template fix for the edge case reported as ProjectTemplate#217: the surgical delete step now gates on the same `exists=='false' || workflow_dispatch` condition as the create step, so a scheduled re-run on an existing tag no longer deletes the freshly built artifacts (retention-days: 1 reaps them instead). Re-synced verbatim from template PR ptr727/ProjectTemplate#218, which also clears the condensed-comment drift from the original #195 snippet.

Promote the accumulated `develop` work to `main`. Twelve changes since the last promotion: - Add `WORKFLOW.md`: workflow style, architecture, behavioral contract, test methodology (#223) - Use NBGV `IGNORE_GITHUB_REF` instead of the ineffective `GITHUB_REF` override (#222) - Skip validate-release on smoke builds (#220) - Gate asset delete on the release create/refresh condition (#218) - Ship branch rulesets as versioned JSON in the re-sync / drift loop (#212) - Clean up transfer artifacts surgically at consumption, not blanket-delete (#216) - Version each publish leg against its own branch; validate at entry (#215) - Consolidate workspace configurations into a unified ProjectTemplate workspace (#210) - Template convergence barrier: absorb pins, generic release + docker-readme, carry-whole-file (#207) - Key merge-bot concurrency on PR number, not `github.ref` (#206) - Codify orchestrated re-sync personas and full-replacement rule (#205) - Lead action pins; affirm pattern-based artifact handoff (#204) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
