Summary

Bamboo repeatedly fails to download an artifact from the same plan.

Environment

Any bamboo supported version.

Diagnosis

When a build/deployment tries to download an artifact, the action will fail and in the build/deployment log we will see a message similar to this one:

simple   08-Feb-2022 11:38:26 Preparing to download plan result PROJ-PLAN-1 artifact: Non required shared artifact: [artifact_name], pattern: [*] anchored at: [artifact_name]
error 08-Feb-2022 11:38:26 Unable to download artifact Non required shared artifact: [artifact_name], pattern: [*] anchored at: [artifact_name]

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2022/02/08 11:50:02 | 2022-02-08 11:50:02,952 INFO [0-BAM::agent_name::Agent:pool-3-thread-1] [AbstractArtifactManager] Unable to retrieve artifact artifact_name for PROJ-PLAN-1 via com.atlassian.bamboo.build.artifact.BambooRemoteArtifactHandler@19a898eb No matching Artifact found.

Cause

Bamboo is reporting that the artifact is not available for download. There could be multiple reasons for this, for example:

• The artifact for the latest build was deleted
• The artifact for the latest build was tampered with or blocked (i.e. file permissions)
• Something unexpected changed in the configuration that made the artifact download task obsolete.
• Other

Solution

The solution of this problem could be solved by simply running a build again to generate the artifact.
