Hi @leonluoqi,

The error you’re seeing is due to the use of a deprecated version of the actions/upload-artifact action in your workflow (specifically, v3). However, in your code, you are using actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2, which is correct for GitHub Pages.

Here’s what you should check and do:

Review Your Workflow:

Make sure you are NOT using actions/upload-artifact@v3 anywhere in your workflow files or in any reusable workflows you might be calling.
The correct action for GitHub Pages is actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2 (which you are using).
If you use actions/upload-artifact, upgrade to v4 everywhere it appears.
Check for Deprecated Actions in Your Repo:

Search your entire repository (including other workflows, composite actions, or called workflows) for any use of actions/upload-artifact@v3 and update it to v4.
Sample Correction:
If you find any step like this:

YAML

• name: Upload artifact
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
  with:
  name: my-artifact
  path: some/path
  Change it to:

YAML

• name: Upload artifact
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
  name: my-artifact
  path: some/path
  Why This Happened:
  As of September 2025, GitHub has deprecated actions/upload-artifact@v3 and it will fail automatically. Always use the latest major version (v4).

Your workflow is failing because something in it or in a dependency is still on the deprecated upload artifact v3. Use the current Pages actions and a valid Ruby version

name: Build and Deploy Jekyll Site

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

permissions:
  contents: read
  pages: write
  id-token: write

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up Ruby
        uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1
        with:
          ruby-version: '3.3.4'  # assume 3.3.x is available
          bundler-cache: true

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: bundle install --no-deployment

      - name: Build Jekyll site
        run: bundle exec jekyll build

      - name: Upload Pages artifact
        uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v3
        with:
          path: _site

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    environment:
      name: github-pages
      url: ${{ steps.deployment.outputs.page_url }}
    steps:
      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
        id: deployment
        uses: actions/deploy-pages@v4

This removes any transitive use of upload artifact v3 by moving to the latest Pages actions. I also set Ruby to a currently available version. If your project needs a different Ruby version replace 3.3.4 with the version you actually use. If this solved your issue please mark the answer as helpful so others can find it.
