Occassional cloudfront captcha when fetching Zulu 8 JDK from macOS-11

[Kantis]

Description:
Occassional cloudfront captcha when fetching Zulu 8 JDK from macOS-11 during Trying to resolve the latest version from remote step

Here one out of 4 macos builds got hit with captcha.
And another one..

Task version:
v3

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Repro steps:
Every build in Kotest is having issues with this ATM.

Expected behavior:
Zulu 8 should consistently get setup correctly on macOS

Actual behavior:
Zulu 8 setup sometimes fails builds due to a captcha

I'm running into this as well, but adopt jdk 11:

      - uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          distribution: 'adopt'
          java-version: '11'
          check-latest: true

I'm running into this as well with a large possibility recent days, but Zulu JDK 11.0.14 on GitHub's macOS:

- name: Set up JDK 11
  uses: actions/setup-java@v3
  with:
      distribution: 'zulu'
      java-version: 11.0.14

Same here, today is impossible to build anything using Zulu.

This occasionally happens to me as well, both with adopt-hostspot and adopt-openj9

I guess a nice workaround would be #333

A better solution might be an agreement between the providers of the JDK and GitHub so that the IP addresses of the runners can be whitelisted.

Similar to me.

Occasionally I encounter the error on macos-latest and jdk 8.0.232.

    strategy:
      fail-fast: true
      max-parallel: 3
      matrix:
        java: [8, 8.0.232, 11, 11.0.4, 17]
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Set up JDK ${{ matrix.java }}
      uses: actions/setup-java@v3
      with:
        java-version: ${{ matrix.java }}
        distribution: "zulu"
        cache: "maven"

Similar issue in #336.

FYI there was a Cloudfront issue that is now resolved. The Zulu CDN and API paths used by GitHub actions/setup-java are now explicitly whitelisted to prevent captcha introduction.

Thank you for your response and help @giltene!

@giltene could you please link a source? I'd like to confirm it before closing

@Kantis unfortunately there is no public link for the issue or cloudflare config change involved. I can confirm that an actual change was made to resolve what we believe was the root cause that started this behavior. Should probably keep this open for a couple of days to see if any more problems are reported, then close.

Hello @Kantis,

Could you please confirm that giltene's solution works for you?

Hi @Kantis,

Just a gentle ping.

[Kantis]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. It seems stable now, so closing this. Thanks for the help!
