Artifacts
Artifacts
Transfer files between jobs using artifacts
All jobs in subsequent stages will receive the artifacts (by default)
Configuration
Name artifacts
Include and exclude paths
When to create artifacts (jobs success, failure, always)
Expire artifacts
Add untracked files
Dependencies
Jobs can restrict which job artifacts to receive
job_name:
dependencies:
- other_job
#...
Empty list disables receiving artifacts:
job_name:
dependencies: []
#...
Download artifact from another pipeline
Pro tip: When variables are enough
Passing variables between jobs is possible (since GitLab 12.9)
One job defined a dotenv artifact :
job_name:
script: echo "FOO=bar" >build.env
artifacts:
reports:
dotenv: build.env
Job in later stages automatically consume them:
job_name2:
script: echo "${FOO}"
dependencies as well as needs limit from which jobs they are consumed
Hands-On
See chapter Artifacts
Maximum artifact size
By default, artifacts can not be larger tham 100MB
Can be configured…
- for the whole instance
- per group
- per project
Conflicting artifact names
When two jobs produce an artifact with the same name…
…the last job to finish wins
