I added the Archive Artifacts post-build option to my project. I can see the artifacts from the web browser interface, but I cannot find them in the filesystem.
Where are they located?
It is being archived on the master server (even if the build were on a slave) in the following folder:
$JENKINS_HOME/jobs/<job>/builds/<build>/archive
But you can configure a different location using the 'Advanced' setting of the job (where you can set a different workspace folder) or using plugins that are made for this purpose such as Copy Artifact Plugin
Just another couple of tips...
You can find jenkins home by going to the environment variables page in the job build jenkins page.
In my case JENKINS_HOME turned out to be /var/lib/jenkins
Found artifacts in:
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/<my-job-name>-build/lastStable/archive/target
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/<my-job-name>-build/lastSsuccessful/archive/target
as well as
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/<my-job-name>-build/builds/8/archive/target
Path is : $JENKINS_HOME/jobs//jobs//branches//builds/$BUILD_NUMBER/archive/
You have to extract branch name, job name and repository name from JOB_NAME environment variable.

I want to scan file stored in my Jenkins project workspace.
for example, when I make a project named my_project, I will get report pattern from Jenkins like **/report.xml. and to find report.xml file, I will explore in my own plugin.
since when I print pwd on jenkins console, it prints where my plugin written, not jenkins workspace. so I need to know how to explore jenkins workspace in my plugin.
thanks!
If you're asking where your jenkins workspace is, it is in the workspace folder where you can find all your projects. It should be relative to your plugin folder: ../workspace. You can try to change directory using the relative path. Hope this helps.
I have a jenkins job that pulls source code from GitHub public repo. I need to pass some files such as instance-specific configuration files containing secrets to the job and merge with source code prior to running build because these files are obviously inappropriate to be put in public SCM. The Jenkins instance is a multi-tenanted shared service.
The config files don't change often so I don't want to implement using file parameter which forces user manually input the file on every run. Another reason file parameter doesn't work is some builds are triggered automatically by SCM.
I don't want to use Config File Provider Plugin either, because the plugin requires jenkins admin access but I want users with job-level privileges manage the files themselves.
Ideally the uploaded files are saved alongside with job config.xml instead of in workspace, because I would like to delete workspace after each build. I can write scripts to copy the files from job config folder to workspace.
Are there any solutions available? Thanks.
If the "special" files are being placed in a folder with say some access privileges to it, couldn't you either run a Pre-SCM-Buildstep to move the files with shell commands, or introduce a regular build step (i.e. after the SCM stuff and before the other build steps) that would also use shell commands to move files?
I have an API key, for example, that is not stored in a git repo that I'd like to copy from a directory on a build machine. Where is the appropriate place to place these so that the jenkins user can still access them during a build. The host OS is ubuntu server and jenkins home is located at path /var/lib/jenkins.
Should these be placed and copied from /opt? from /var/lib/jenkins? from /var/lib/jenkins/userContent? What is accessible during a build?
Sounds like this should be a Jenkins build parameter.
Use a parameterized Jenkins build and specify the API key as a string param?
I am looking to download the artifacts using Jenkins job to resolve the artifacts from Artifactory. Specifying the file type and the path to the artifact works, However, unable to resolve all artifacts from the root directory.
Actual Artifactory Path:
repo_key:Group/Artifact/Version/path/to/artifact1/file.zip
repo_key:Group/Artifact/Version/path/to/artifact2/file.zip
Below Configuration in Jenkins job to Resolved Artifacts doesn't works:
repo_key:Group/Artifact/*=>Output
How do I download all files under the Artifact directory to the Output directory.
You need to use the format JBaruch mentioned and add the build metadata as matrix params, to support wildcard resolution for multiple files.
For instance:
repo_key:Group/Artifact/**/*#publishing_build_name#LATEST
Will get you the latest artifacts published by the job "publishing_build_name".
There's some helpful information and examples when clicking on the Question Mark next to the "Resolved Artifacts" field.
Artifact/* will resolve files, directly located under Artifact directory (and there are none). What you need is Artifact/**/*.
Our teamcity server uses Windows OS, so build process checkouts git source to agent Macs, and so build result package (*.ipa package) remains on agent. How to send this *.ipa build package to teamcity server, so it would appear as artifact?
At first, I have assumed teamcity should grab build result - ipa package by itself, so I'v added "OurProject/build/ipa/*.ipa" in "Artifact paths" settings in General settings of build configuration, but no artifacts appear under build result in teamcity website. Probably missing something obvious here :)
Artifact pattern like:
**/*.ipa
should publish all these files.

By default teamcity searches for artifacts inside workDir/yourCheckoutedSourceDir. My build dir is located at the root of teamcity folder on agent side and I'm using BUILD_DIR environment variable in custom scripts to set where build result should be saved. So and I'v used this environment variable in custom scripts using this format:
${BUILD_DIR}
My problem was teamcity does not recognize such format when using inside artifact paths field, so you need to use this format instead:
%env.BUILD_DIR%
If build dir is set to outside of checkout dir then the other solution would be to use relative paths like ../../Builds, but the first solution is more clearer in case the name of build dir would change.
