Description

The digest of the latest release is empty for:

https://api.github.com/repos/VSCodeVim/vim/releases/latest

I'm not sure if it's the cause but the used github action to upload the release has been archived for over 4 years.

https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/0089b0e68a2f6c8836c7814c5c3673d8345d3384/.github/workflows/release.yml#L53C15-L53C43

https://github.com/actions/upload-release-asset

I wouldn't recommend to use a third party github action for this, I'd suggest to use the github cli (gh) from the github action workflow to create and upload the release.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Inspect .github/workflows/release.yml around line 53 and the archived actions/upload-release-asset action. Check the latest release API response and the release workflow configuration; done means the published release has a non-empty digest and its asset upload succeeds.
