Hello @Depstan Thankachan Xavier ,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

The ATTACHMENTS attribute in the pipe expects a fixed file name, and it will not expand the filenames to match a pattern like *.html.

In this case, I would suggest compressing the files in a .zip - where this compressed file would have a fixed name - and then adding the zip file as the attachment.

Following is an example of using the zip command to compress all the *.html files within the test-results folder in a zip file named my_html_files.zip :

- zip my_html_files.zip test-results/*.html

If the zip command is not available  (command not found) in the docker image you are using, you will need to install it using the following command :

- apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip

Then, in the pipe's ATTACHMENTS attribute, you can specify the name of the compressed file which will be a fixed name. The complete YAML step would look like below :

- apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip  #only necessary if the image does not have zip 
- zip my_html_files.zip test-results/*.html
- pipe: atlassian/email-notify:0.8.0
    variables:
      SUBJECT: '${ALERT_TYPE}:Bitbucket Pipe Notification for ${BITBUCKET_BRANCH}: Build ${BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER}'
      ATTACHMENTS: "my_html_files.zip"

Hope that helps! Let me know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @Depstan Thankachan Xavier !
