Artifacts are files that registered in Continua CI as important files. By registering a file as an artifact, it can then be viewed through the browser or downloaded to the current user's computer.
| Please note that all Artifact Rules refer to the server's workspace, NOT the agent's workspace. The file must exist in the server's workspace before it can be registered as an artifact. To transfer files from the agent to the server, use Workspace Rules. |
[1.1] Output\**.xml [1.2] Output\*\**.exe [1.3] Output\log.txt |
[1.1] - Registers all files with the ".xml" extension in the Output directory as artifacts.
[1.2] - Registers all files with the ".exe" extension in any directories underneath the Output directory. It won't match any ".exe" files directly in the Output directory.
[1.3] - Registers the single file log.txt in the Output directory.
[2.1] nunit | Output\test*.xml [2.2] image | Output\**.png |
[2.1] - Registers all files that start with "test" and end with ".xml" in and only in the Output directory as artifacts and registers them as viewable by the nunit viewer.
[2.2] - Registers all files with the ".png" extension in the Output directory and all directories underneath it as artifacts and registers them as viewable by the image viewer.
Add the colon ":" operator after a file path with a zip extension on the left-hand side of a rule to specify that the archive file should be extracted to the path on the right side of the rule. Archive rules are processed before all other rules. Note that only zip archive files are currently supported.
3.1 Report.zip: > Report/ExtractedFiles 3.2 Report.zip: -> Report/ExtractedFlattened 3.3 Report.zip: >> Report/ExtractedFiles 3.4 Report.zip: ->> Report/ExtractedFlattened 3.5 **/Report.zip: > Report/ExtractedFiles 3.6 Report*.zip: -> Report/ExtractedFlattened 3.7 Report?.zip: >> Report/ExtractedFiles 3.8 */Report.zip: ->> Report/ExtractedFlattened |
The archive files in the server workspace are automatically extracted at the end of the stage. Note that the operators for preserving and emptying the destination folder are also taken into account when extracting.
[3.1] - Extracts all the files in the archive Report.zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFiles. Preserves the directory structure within the zip file.
[3.2] - Extracts all the files in the archive Report.zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFlattened. Flattens the zip directory structure so that all files are extracted directly to Report/ExtractedFlattened.
[3.3] - Extracts all the files in the archive Report.zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFiles. Empties the destination folder before extracting files.
[3.4] - Extracts all the files in the archive Report.zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFlattened. Empties the destination folder before extracting files. Flattens the zip directory structure so that all files are extracted directly to Report/ExtractedFlattened.
[3.5] - Extracts all the files in all archive files named Report.zip in any subfolder recursively to the folder Report/ExtractedFiles. Preserves the directory structure within the zip file.
[3.6] - Extracts all the files in all archive files with a name starting with Report and ending with .zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFlattened. Flattens the zip directory structure so that all files are extracted directly to Report/ExtractedFlattened.
[3.7] - Extracts all the files in all archive files with a name starting with Report, followed by a single character, followed by .zip to the folder Report/ExtractedFiles. Empties the destination folder before extracting files.[3.8] - Extracts all the files in all archive files named Report.zip in any top-level subfolder to the folder Report/ExtractedFlattened. Empties the destination folder before extracting files. Flattens the zip directory structure so that all files are extracted directly to Report/ExtractedFlattened.
You can also add a pattern to specify which files to extract from the server archive file.
4.1 Report.zip:/*.html > ReportHtmlFiles 4.2 Report.zip:/**.html > Report/HtmlFiles 4.3 Report.zip:/Main/**.xml > MainReport/XmlFiles 4.4 Report.zip:/Report/**/Main/**.html > MainReport/HtmlFiles |
[4.1] - Extracts all the html files in the root folder of the archive Report.zip to the folder ReportHtmlFiles. Preserves the directory structure within the zip file.
[4.2] - Extracts all the html files in the archive Report.zip to the folder Report/HtmlFiles. Preserves the directory structure within the zip file.
[4.3] - Extracts all the xml files under the Main folder in the archive Report.zip to the folder MainReport/XmlFiles. Preserves the directory structure under the Main folder within the zip file.
[4.4] - Extracts all the html files under the Report folder in the archive Report.zip which are under a sub-folder named Main to the folder MainReport/HtmlFiles. Preserves the directory structure under the Report folder within the zip file.
