Use upload-artifact v7 to publish VSIX directly (non-zipped)

[Copilot]

GitHub Actions now supports uploading single files as artifacts without ZIP wrapping. This makes .vsix files directly downloadable and installable from the Actions run page — no unzipping required.

Changes

• upload-artifact@v4 → @v7 on both upload steps
• archive: false on the VSIX upload — file is stored as-is, filename becomes the artifact name
• Rename step added before upload to append the OS name (e.g., powershell-2024.5.0-ubuntu-latest.vsix), since archive: false derives artifact name from filename and all three matrix jobs would otherwise conflict
• if-no-files-found: ignore added so the upload step is a no-op on build failures
• name: parameter removed from VSIX upload (ignored when archive: false)

- name: Rename VSIX to include OS name
  if: always()
  shell: pwsh
  # archive: false uses the filename as the artifact name, so we need unique names across matrix jobs
  run: Get-Item out/*.vsix -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.BaseName + '-${{ matrix.os }}' + $_.Extension }
  working-directory: vscode-powershell

- name: Upload build artifacts
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v7
  if: always()
  with:
    # archive: false uploads the .vsix directly (no zip wrapper) using the filename as the artifact name
    path: "vscode-powershell/out/*.vsix"
    archive: false
    if-no-files-found: ignore

Works as expected, artifacts are now vsix directly

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Updates the CI workflow to publish VSIX artifacts as directly downloadable files (instead of ZIP-wrapped artifacts) and avoid artifact-name collisions across matrix OS jobs.

Changes:

• Switches artifact uploads from actions/upload-artifact@v4 to @v7.
• Adds a PowerShell step to rename the VSIX to include the matrix OS for uniqueness.
• Updates the VSIX upload step to upload the file “as-is” and ignore missing files.

• As of actions/upload-artifact versions available up to my knowledge cutoff (Aug 2025), @v7 is not a published major version, and archive is not a recognized input for the action. If either is incorrect, the workflow will fail at runtime (“unable to resolve action version” / “unexpected input(s)”). Please verify the currently published major version and supported inputs for upload-artifact, and adjust the workflow to use a valid version and inputs.
