Repro steps:

Unsure of steps to reproduce - we run a large number of jobs to validate all merges (on the order of ~100), and in more than half of the workflows in the past 24 hours the workflow failed due to

Expected behavior:

Action should succeed.

Actual behavior:

Action fails catastrophically on a network issue.

Hi, @AaronFriel 👋 I see the problem in your repo, but unfortunately, I can't reproduce it. It was probably a temporary problem on the side of the MS .NET SDKs dist, our action relies on it and it explains why the installation of SDK for all OS was blocked.

[AaronFriel]

@IvanZosimov Would it make sense to engineer around this or mirror their distribution info?

Would it be possible to add some logging to this action so that when net requests fail, the URL requested is logged?

[IvanZosimov]

@AaronFriel , Sure! We are working on this issue now.

Hi, @rcdailey and @joelwkall, thanks for your comments. We are still in the process of investigation. You can upgrade the version of the setup-dotnet action to v3 because it's less influenced by the error.

I'm also quite often facing this issue using this GitHub Action. 😢

Hello everyone!
We have released new action version with a fix for this issue. Feel free to use the v3 tag.
Thank you for the patience!
