How do we store artifacts in a folder created on same branch

[vivek.gopalakrishnan]

Hi Team, 

 My pipeline script is able to successfully build and an Artifact is available for download in the artifact section. however, I want to move the artifact to a folder in the same branch as a pipeline script. How do I do that?

- step:

name: Build React application

caches:

- node

script:

- npm rebuild node-sass

- npm run build-react

- npm run build-cicd

- export ARTIFACT_NAME=example-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S).tar.gz

- ls $ARTIFACT_NAME

- tar -xzvf $ARTIFACT_NAME -C artifacts-dev/

artifacts:

- artifacts-dev/*

Hello @vivek.gopalakrishnan and welcome to the community!

My understanding is that you would like to push the artifact back to your repository during your pipeline build. It's possible to push changes back to the repository by committing the changes and doing a git push : 

- step:
  name: Build React application
  caches:
  - node
  script:
    - npm rebuild node-sass
    - npm run build-react
    - npm run build-cicd
    - export ARTIFACT_NAME=example-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S).tar.gz
    - ls $ARTIFACT_NAME
    - tar -xzvf $ARTIFACT_NAME -C artifacts-dev/
    - git add $ARTIFACT_NAME # adding the artifact to the staging area
    - git commit -m "[skip ci] saving artifact to the repository"
    - git push

The [skip ci] flag in the commit message is for this push to not trigger a new build, otherwise, the builds could enter a loop state. It's important to note that pushing artifacts directly to the repository is not a good practice, as this will start to inflate the repository size and you can reach the repository size limits of 4GB, which would put your repository in read-only mode.

If your goal is to store the artifacts for more than 14 days, you can either upload it to a third-party storage solution or upload it to the Downloads section of your repository by using the bitbucket cloud API endpoint below : 

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-downloads/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-downloads-post

Files uploaded as a Download artifact are available by navigating to the repository and selecting the Downloads option in the left side panel.

Hope that helps! Let me know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @vivek.gopalakrishnan !
