Artifacts are files created by a job build (e.g. JAR files). Artifact definitions are used to specify which artifacts to keep from a build and are configured for individual jobs.

See Configuring artifact sharing between jobs.

This page describes how to define the artifacts that should be kept from a job's build. For example, you may wish to keep reports, websites or files (e.g. JAR files) generated by a job build.

You can also configure artifact sharing between jobs in a plan. For example, you may want to run acceptance tests on a build, and then share the WAR from one job to another, without rebuilding the WAR each time. Artifact sharing is described on this page: Configuring artifact sharing between jobs.

Defining which artifacts to keep for a job

You can specify which artifacts to keep by setting up an artifact definition for the job. The artifacts will be available after each build of a job.

To set up an artifact definition for a job:

  1. Navigate to the desired job, as described on Configuring jobs.
  2. Click the Artifacts tab, and then Create Definition.
  3. Complete the fields on the screen (see screenshot below) and click Create. For example, if you want to keep the latest version of a JAR you have built, you could specify Copy Pattern to be '*/.jar' and the Location to be 'target'.
    Please note:
    • The location is relative to the build directory. Do not use the absolute path to refer to the location.
    • The copy pattern is relative to the location specified.
    • Asterisks are not supported for Location. For this field, provide the folder name where the file would be located.
    • If you want to share artifacts with other jobs in the plan, you will need to mark the artifacts as shared. Sharing artifacts is described on this page: Configuring artifact sharing between jobs.

Notes

Artifacts are copied to a subdirectory (/JOB_KEY/download-data/) under your 'Build Directory' folder (see Locating important directories and files). Artifacts which you define in the plan are listed in each build result as artifacts (see Viewing a build's artifacts).
