Where does github actions stores the log files?

Question

On my github action, it logged the following:

The full lint text report is located at:
  /home/runner/work/honk/honk/app/build/intermediates/lint_intermediate_text_report/debug/lint-results-debug.txt

honk is the name of my repo, but where do I find the lint-results-debug.txt file?

This is how my android.yml file is configured:

name: Android CI

on: [ pull_request ]

jobs:
  build-and-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up JDK 1.11
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 1.11

      - name: Change wrapper permissions
        run: chmod +x ./gradlew

      - name: Build with Gradle
        run: ./gradlew build

      - name: Run tests
        run: ./gradlew test

      - name: Upload app to AppSweep with Gradle
        env:
          APPSWEEP_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.APPSWEEP_API_KEY }}
        run: ./gradlew uploadToAppSweepRelease

The Github Doc Using workflow run logs, says the following about finding/downloading logs created by workflows:

You can download the log files from your workflow run. You can also download a workflow's artifacts. For more information, see "Storing workflow data as artifacts." Read access to the repository is required to perform these steps.

You can follow the rest of the steps to find and download your desired files.

Downloading the logs does not list all the lint errors, only the same text you can see in Github. – Ben Apr 11 '23 at 21:39

As far as I know it gets discarded, they don't save any logs, if you don't save them intentionally.

You can do that with this action. Notice the Upload Lint Report

jobs:
  build-and-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up JDK 1.11
        uses: actions/setup-java@v1
        with:
          java-version: 1.11

      - name: Change wrapper permissions
        run: chmod +x ./gradlew

      - name: Build with Gradle
        run: ./gradlew build

      - name: Run tests
        run: ./gradlew test
      
      - name: Upload Lint Report to Github
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: nightly
          path: app/build/intermediates/lint_intermediate_text_report/debug/lint-results-debug.txt
          retention-days: 10
#       rest of the script

Though if you are just looking for the report, because of failed, you should get that in the console output with searching Failed.

I updated my question. Based on my yml file, where should I put it? — Leonardo Sibela, Apr 04 '23 at 17:29
I updated the answer. I am not sure which of test or build is running the lint though, but it should be safe to put it after both of them — Simon Harvan, Apr 04 '23 at 17:45
