Download the zip file from global repo and place it one apache folder

Question

Hello Team,

We are using one zip plugin which is already placed at the global artifact( this has been done by another team) who regularly do building and pushing it to global artifact.

Now what we want to do? we want to make the plan which downloads the zip file from the global artifact, unzip it and place it in one location on the application server.

I don't have any clue about this if someone has any idea about this please share your thoughts.

Thanks

Pratik

Hi @Pratik,

1. This download is from build plan and shared artifacts builded there. If you artifact was builded out of plan you must download from source instead of default download.

2. The best practices in CI/CD is

a. Build you app on build plan (check out your code, run test, create artifacts, etc)

b. If the build plan if success deploy on each environment with Deployment Project.

Cheers.

Omar.

Thanks, Omar for the very quick reply but I have two questions

1) in the first task itself of artifact download:  how bamboo would know from where should I download the artifacts? I mean where should we have to specify the path.

e.g:

this is the path where .zip file lies.

URL: https://globalrepository.ABC.com/artifactory/releases/com/frontend/V2R2.4-RELEASE/PORTAL-UI-V2R2.4-RELEASE.zip

I have this understanding regarding normal deployment plan in which we always have main three tasks like

checkout ( where we define the git path of repo)  -> build the application (using maven/gradle) -> deploy on the server(we define server details)

Thanks

Hi @Pratik there is an example for you (all this task is on deployment proyect):

1. Download the Artifact (on agent)

2. Send artifact to server (the zip file)

3. Unzip file on the server

Let me know it's usefull for you.

Cheers.
