GitHub Actions: periodic `flyctl: not found`

[seeARMS]

We have a GitHub action workflow that deploys our Fly instance upon git push.

Periodically and seemingly randomly, the workflow quickly fails with the following error:

Run superfly/flyctl-actions@1.1
  with:
    args: deploy --remote-only --strategy immediate --wait-timeout 360 --config ./packages/api/fly.staging.toml --dockerfile ./packages/api/Dockerfile --ignorefile .dockerignore --app paragraph-feature-par-[2](https://github.com/paragraph-xyz/monorepo/actions/runs/8740055948/job/23982824117#step:5:2)645 -e COMMIT=${GITHUB_SHA} --vm-size shared-cpu-2x
  env:
    FLY_API_TOKEN: ***

sh: flyctl: not found

Flyctl should never not be found, so I don't know why this is occurring.

@seeARMS it looks like you're pinned to v1.1 of the action which was released almost 4 years ago. We've made some improvements since then!

Could you try updating to the latest version, either v1, which will automatically pick up minor versions, or v1.5 if you want to lock to a specific version. I think this will fix things up for you.

specifically this line in your workflow:

      - uses: superfly/flyctl-actions/setup-flyctl@v1

I'm going to close this for now, if you're still running into this in the future, feel free to bump it!

I upgraded to v1 but still encountering this:

Still continuing to happen:

A restart of the workflow fixes it, so this seems to happen intermittently.

Happening about once a day now.

@seeARMS I haven't been able to reproduce this, do you have any other context that might help me see what's happening?

This action continues to periodically fail with nothing logged:

We are seeing the same periodic failure
