artifacts are loaded as text files

[Javier Perez]

We've upgraded to bamboo 6.8.0

Issue: when clicking on any artifact link, the artifact regardless its type (bin, zip, all) is uploaded in the browser as if it were a text file. For example, html files that should be naturally displayed by the browser, are displayed as text (headers, tags, etc. are not interpreted, but displayed as-they-are).

This happens with all browsers (firefox, chrome), windows or linux.

If I copy+paste the html text displayed by the browser when clicking on an html type artifact into a file and I open the file with the browser, it's correctly displayed.

Question: I expect to be asked where to download bin files, html files to be interpreted and displayed by the browser, like in my previous bamboo 6.6.3 version. Is this a 6.8.0 bamboo bug?

[Javier Perez · Accepted solution]

For those interested, there is a bug filed against this issue:

• Chrome/Safari open artifacts in browser instead of download option (BAM-20305)

The issue also suggests the following workaround:

Enable the option "Resolve artifacts content type by extension" at Administration >> Security >> Security settings
