Download all artifacts from previous jobs

[Simon Beyer]

Is it possible to download the artifacts created by ALL previously executed jobs without specifying the exact artifact name?

I use spec branches to enable/disable jobs based on the branch type (f.e. release branches need to execute additional builds). At the end of the Pipeline I want to download all artifacts (number of artifacts can be different based on the branch type) and share them as an "all_artifacts" artifact. 

I am not able to use the download all aritfacts task because this task also demands the "all_artifacts" artifact. Is there any solution for this topic?

Hello @Simon Beyer,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Your requirement is not possible to be achieved using standard tooling in Bamboo. You can possibly try extending Bamboo and run a series of scripts that will do that artifact parsing and download then.

For example:

To get information about a build, you can run a curl:

curl -X GET -uuser:pass -H "Accept: application/json" "https://bamboo.mydomain.net/rest/api/latest/result/BAM-SLEEP-34?expand=artifacts"

You can then parse the output of it using your favourite script/programing language and figure out what artifacts are carried with that build.

Then download them (date.txt is my artifact, for example):

curl -X GET -uuser:pass https://bamboo.mydomain.net/browse/BAM-SLEEP-34/artifact/shared/date/date.txt -o date.txt

Once you have all the artifacts you need you can then publish them as "all_artifacts" (as a folder with multiple files or as a single zip archive, your call)

The values of your projectKey-buildKey-buildNumber keys can be expanded in real-time from Bamboo variables:

E.g.

https://bamboo.mydomain.net/browse/${bamboo_planKey}-${bamboo_buildNumber}/artifact/shared/date/date.txt

• Bamboo variables

It is also recommended that you store the values of your username and password or the PAT (personal access token) as encrypted strings in Bamboo.

• System-wide encryption
• Bamboo Specs encryption
• Personal access token

EDIT: sorry I posted this as answer.

Thank you. This looks promising. But I trouble with downloading the artifact. My artifacts contain multiple files and not just one like in your example.

Once you query the artifacts, you will get a json output that can be parsed to get the name of all the artifacts of that build.

Then you can create another call in a loop to download each of them to your desired location.

Thanks. But is there an easier way to get a list of all files which are included in on artifact? I am only able to receive the overview html page

[Eduardo Alvarenga]

If you want to have a list of files to be downloaded, you will need to parse that overview page.

You can alternatively use a script task to create a single zip file out of your all_artifacts folder, then you can focus on downloading a single zip file and unzipping it at the destination.
