actions/deploy-pages v2 failing with HttpError: Invalid artifact url

[ngacho]

Hi. I have a GitHub Pages deployement workflow that is failing with

It seems like this is recurring issue for this incident which has since been closed. What's more interesting to me is while a new deployment fails, my site shows a 404, shouldn't it just show the previous version?

Try updating actions/upload-pages-artifact to v3 and actions/deploy-pages to v4.

We publish this starter workflow as a good reference to follow: https://github.com/actions/starter-workflows/blob/666350e29b10d665a82d5c6d1501a29e50d63c29/pages/hugo.yml.
