GH Action: PHP Unit Tests / Get WP and WC version matrix failed

[ianlin]

Describe the bug:

When I was releasing 2.6.7, one of the checks in the final step merge trunk to develop failed. The check is the preprocessor of PHP unit tests which it would get WP and WC version matrix.

The error message is:

Get WP and WC version Matrix
Action failed with error: FetchError - Invalid response body while trying to fetch https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/woocommerce.json: Premature close

However, the URL https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/woocommerce.json is accessible. I also tested it locally using node-fetch to fetch the URL and it worked. I haven't dug deeper but just a bold guess it would possibly because of node-fetch/node-fetch#1576 in node-fetch package?

Strangely that the same check passed in the 2.6.7 release branch PR.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Re-run this failed job
2. Or, create a test PR and check the same job in that PR.

Expected behavior:

The job should complete successfully.

Actual behavior:

The job failed.

A new retry attempt passed - https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/actions/runs/8701663168?pr=2373.

Probably the https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/woocommerce.json randomly fails for now.

Thanks for testing, I will close it as it seems to be the URL https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/woocommerce.json is unstable for now.
