sharing of data across different stages in bamboo

[AmitB]

I would like to separate my build plan into separate stages. How can the installer and unit test stages use the binaries compiled in the initial build stage?

Hi,

I think you should use "artifact sharing" feature in Bamboo. That is, create Bamboo artifact in the 'compile' stage to catch the binaries, and in the successive stages you would 'subscribe' to that artifact. For more information please visit:

You can zip them and share between jobs in different stages as a Shared Artifact.

Can Bamboo zip the files, or do I need to do this manuallY?

Or should we just use this plug-in:
