How to copy artifacts between plans

[Michael Gorbach]

I have a library that is being built separately, and used in several different applications. The build isn't that long, but I don't want to have to maintain separate copies of the library build tasks in each plan for each application that uses the library, so I have set up a separate project and plans to build the library. How do I get the library artifacts over the my slaves that build the various plans dependant on this library? Artifacts sharing doesn't seem to work across plans.

Yep, that os exactly what I did. Wrote a python script to do the download. It's a missing feature though: What is the point of dependencies if you can't move artifacts from one place to another? Seems like this would be a very useful plugin to have, or it should just be built in.

We absolutely agree and have plans to address this in 2012.

Is there a target release for this? JIRA issue I can track?

Hi Benjamin,

This item has slipped from our roadmap in 2012 but will be finding a new time to schedule this. You can follow its progress here.

Thanks

I am unable to view BAM-10573 for some reason.

Sorry about that - it was mistakenly hidden.

I don't think it is possible to copy artifacts between different plans yet.

Maybe you could try to manually download latest library artifact using url of form: http://BAMBOO/browse/PROJ-PLAN/latest/artifact/ARTIFACT_NAME - you could add a preceeding task(s) to your plans which would call wget or similar device to download shared artifacts from Bamboo. But that's quite not feasible, is it?
