Hi all, I have recently started using Forgejo runners and it's a great tool. I have run into this surprising limitation with accessing artifacts and I wonder if I am just doing something totally wrong?

If I use the artifacts within the same workflow file as per the tests: e2e test then this works as you would expect. But if you have two separate workflow files, so example one with a build step, and one with a deploy step. then the deploy step has no way to access the artifacts?

I also found an open issue which indicates that the github implementation for accessing the artifacts using a token is not currently possible either.

I am surprised I have not seen more people talking about this, so I wonder if I am just doing something really obviously wrong! The fundamental part is that I am using uses: to specify the first stage from the other workflow file.

Where am I going wrong?

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: docker
    uses: ./.forgejo/workflows/build.yml

  deploy:
    needs: build
