I am archiving artifacts at the end of each build. I have https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Archived+Artifact+Url+Viewer+PlugIn installed.
Thought the plugin says artifacts can be viewed here
"/archivedArtifacts/artifact/job_name/build_number/relative location of zip or jarfile within artifact folder/location of file within archive Ex:
http://jenkins_url/archivedArtifacts/artifact/Build%20-%20Dev/10526/junit-logs.zip/junit.log"
I am unable to see artifacts using this URL
http://localhost:8080/archivedArtifacts/artifact/TestFirstJob/32/target/MavenTest-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
I do not have any "artifact" folder. I do have archive folder in the inside each build number.
I can see artifacts of the last build on the respective job homepage.
Any help to view artifacts using this URL is appreciated. Also, Is there a way I can view all of the artifacts build so far at one place.
Archive is how to save files outside workspace. We can clean our workspace, run other builds and the file archived is still safe.
For do that is simple, only with one command we can artifact our files.
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'file.extension'
For example:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Download') {
steps {
sh 'echo "artifact file" > generatedFile.txt'
}
}
}
post {
always {
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'generatedFile.txt', onlyIfSuccessful: true
}
}
}
Once we build the pipeline and it is successfull, we can find our artifact in either of the following locations:
$JENKINS_HOME/yourjobname/branches/branchname/builds/yourbuildernumer/archive
$JENKINS_HOME/yourjobname/builds/yourbuildernumer/archive

In a nutshell:
How can I access the location of the produced artifacts within a shell script started in a build or post-build action?
The longer story:
I'm trying to setup a jenkins job to automate the building and propagation of debian packages.
So far, I was already successfull in using the debian-pbuilder plugin to perform the build process, such that jenkins presents the final artifacts after successfully finishing the job:
mypackage_1+020200224114528.NOREV.4_all.deb
mypackage_1+020200224114528.NOREV.4_amd64.buildinfo
mypackage_1+020200224114528.NOREV.4_amd64.changes
mypackage_1+020200224114528.NOREV.4.dsc
mypackage_1+020200224114528.NOREV.4.tar.xz
Now I would like to also automate the deployment process into the local reprepro repository, which would actually just require a simple shell script invocation, I've put together.
My problem: I find no way to determine the artifact location for that deployment script to operate on. The "debian-pbuilder" plugin generates the artifacts in a temporary directory ($WORKSPACE/binaries.tmp15567690749093469649), which changes with every build.
Since the artifacts are listed properly in the finished job status view, I would expect that the artifact details are provided to the script (e.g. by environment variables). But that is obvously not the case.
I've already search extensively for a solution, but didn't find anything helpful.
Or is it me (still somewhat a Rookie in Jenkins), following a wron approach here?
You can use archiveArtifacts. You have binaries.tmp directory in the Workspace and you can use it, but before execute clear workspace using deleteDir().
Pipeline example:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
deleteDir()
...
}
}
}
post {
always {
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'binaries*/**', fingerprint: true
}
}
}

We have a job which generate some html files in the workspace folder during the build.
Our goal is to get those files after the build is completed and zip them.
The first step of the job is to clean workspace - to be sure that there is no files from previous builds.
Our problem apear when we start a build and someone start separate build - the workspace became wiped. The both of the builds are generating those html's and the content become mixed from the different builds.
If somebody having idea how can I separate every build to have their own workspace will be very glad to share it. I want this to be applied only for ONE job. Other jobs must stay with shared workspace.
If you have a pipeline job, you can just add a post action before termination of your job:
something like :
if (currentBuild.result == "SUCCESS") {
sh '''
tar czf myArchive.tgz *.html
scp myArchive.tgz xxx#xxxx:
'''
} else {
step ([$class: 'Mailer', recipients: 'xxx#xxx.com'])
}
cleanWs cleanWhenFailure: false
I'll do some research if you really want to manipulate workspace. Maybe you can do something with redeclaring the path for the env.WORKSPACE variable but it doesn't seems great to me.
This is the solution that I've looked for:
pipeline {
agent {
node {
label 'master'
customWorkspace "${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_NUMBER}"
}
}
}
In the end I use cleanup to remove generated folders for each build like this:
post {
cleanup {
deleteDir()
dir("${workspace}#tmp") {
deleteDir()
}
dir("${workspace}#script") {
deleteDir()
}
}
}
Thanks you guys
Under the job configuration, check 'Use custom workspace' and pass where you want this workspace to be made. I usually have the workspace directories made by passing in the $BUILD_NUMBER variable for the directory.
Use Custom Workspace
I'm currently learning to use the Jenkins build pipeline. I have one pipeline where I archive the artifact of the build like this:
stage("Build") { gitlabCommitStatus(name: "Build") {
/*Build my program and zip it*/
archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'Debug.7z', onlyIfSuccessful: true
}}
Now I want to use this artifact in another pipeline, but I can't find a command to download a archived artifact into my new pipeline. Note that I do not want to use the artifact in another stage, but in a completely different pipeline of a different build project.
You need to have Copy Artifact plugin installed for this to work. In the job where you want to copy the artifact, use the following code:
pipeline {
stages {
stage ('Copy Build Artifact') {
steps {
echo 'Copying artifact from projectA'
copyArtifacts(projectName: 'projectA', filter:'Debug.7z', optional: true);
// OR
// copyArtifacts(projectName: 'projectA', filter:'Debug.7z', selector: specific('5'), optional: true);
}
}
}
}
where:
selector: the selector to select the build to copy from. If not specified, latest stable build is used
optional: do not fail the step even if no appropriate build is found
I've started with a new company and a very convoluted build methodology. The best way I've found to build projects is to command Jenkins to SSH into the build server and execute a string of commands there.
Building by executing shell commands using SSH works well, but the build artifacts don't show up in the Jenkins workspace. Therefore, I can't seem to archive the artifacts directly to Jenkins.
Is there a way to correct this or work around it? Can Jenkins be set up to archive files from outside the workspace?
Assuming that you've added your build node as a node (slave), here's a stash / unstash example
Stash on the build node
stage ('Stash file on node 1') {
node ('some_build_node') {
dir ('/tmp') {
stash name: 'TestTransfer', includes: 'foo.jar'
}
}
}
Unstash on the master
stage ('Unstash file on node 2') {
node ('master') {
// If you don't use a 'dir' block, it'll unstash in the workspace
// which is handy if you then want to archive the artifacts
dir ('/tmp') {
unstash 'TestTransfer'
}
}
}
I have an incredibly basic Gradle build file:
plugins {
id "base"
id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "4.3.0"
}
configurations {
batchConfig
}
artifacts{
file("dist").eachFile{ zipFile ->
batchConfig zipFile
}
}
println "BatchConfig Artifacts: " + configurations.batchConfig.allArtifacts
This is executed via Jenkins and appears to work fine:
Archives Artifacts: [DefaultPublishArtifact_Decorated
module-0.0.post0.dev6+n4c62094-py2.7:egg:egg:null]
[buildinfo] Properties file found at
'/tmp/buildInfo65481565498521.properties'
:artifactoryPublish
Deploying build descriptor to:
https://ourArtifactoryServer/artifactory/api/build
Build successfully deployed.
Browse it in Artifactory under
https://ourArtifactoryServer/artifactory/webapp/builds/testGradleBuild/34
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
However the artifact is not actually uploaded to Artifactory at all.
SSL cert configuration appears to be working fine, as I had to address that first. Any suggestions as to what I'm missing here?
Looks like you do still need to utilise the artifactory closure outlined in the Gradle Artifactory Plugin. Switching back to using "archives" instead of a custom Config and then adding this to my build sorted it:
artifactory {
publish {
defaults {
publishConfigs('archives')
}
}
}
