search_artifacts: true

[mattkoch-bb]

Hi, thanks for this action. I was looking through the documentation, what exactly does search_artifacts: true do? I am trying to find the "latest" build artifact produced by another workflow.

Lines 123 to 143 in 246dbf4

	if (checkArtifacts || searchArtifacts) {
	let artifacts = await client.paginate(client.rest.actions.listWorkflowRunArtifacts, {
	owner: owner,
	repo: repo,
	run_id: run.id,
	})
	if (!artifacts || artifacts.length == 0) {
	continue
	}
	if (searchArtifacts) {
	const artifact = artifacts.find((artifact) => {
	if (nameIsRegExp) {
	return artifact.name.match(name) !== null
	}
	return artifact.name == name
	})
	if (!artifact) {
	continue
	}
	}
	}

Searches for latest workflow run that produced an artifact, cause you can have workflow runs that did not produce an artifact and the Action would fail.
