Cannot read action job logs #228

Description

@gadenbuie

Reading the /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/jobs/{job_id}/logs endpoint fails by default

library(gh)

gh("/repos/posit-dev/btw/actions/jobs/58155187713/logs")
#> Error in `file.copy()`:
#> ! file can not be copied both 'from' and 'to'
#>     ▆
#>  1. └─gh::gh("/repos/posit-dev/btw/actions/jobs/58155187713/logs")
#>  2.   └─gh:::gh_make_request(req)
#>  3.     └─httr2::req_perform(req, path = x$desttmp)
#>  4.       └─httr2:::cache_post_fetch(req, resp, path = path)
#>  5.         └─httr2:::cache_set(req, resp)
#>  6.           └─base::file.copy(resp$body, body_path, overwrite = TRUE)

but works if you set the gh_cache option to FALSE

library(gh)
withr::with_options(list(gh_cache = FALSE), {
  substr(gh("/repos/posit-dev/btw/actions/jobs/58155187713/logs"), 1, 38)
})
