Bamboo does not want to create Artifacts

Question

During build with Bamboo we creating file /var/atlassian/bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/T4-TGDP-RD/release/dev_patch_release.tar.bz2. This file exist, checked it with command line.

At 'Artifact definitions' I have following pattern: **/release/*.bz2.

But unfortunately after build is done, in Bamboo -> Build -> Artifact No artifacts have been found for this build result..

In the same time, I have unit tests with result at **/extra/build/logs/*.xml that successfully parsed by JUnit.

So, I also created another artifact pattern with **/extra/build/logs/*.xml - still Bamboo does not see it, but JUnit parse it.

How do I create an artifact dev_patch_release.tar.bz2 with Bamboo?

Is /var/atlassian/bamboo/your bamboo root folder? – Trixy

/var/atlassian/bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/T4-TGDP-RD - Build working directory. And yes, /var/atlassian/bamboo/ it's bamboo's root folder. – Ahvenanmaa

The build log is interesting. I don't see it ran the Artifact copier post build plugin. This is an example for my build log: simple 06-May-2014 11:07:00 Running post build plugin 'Artifact Copier' simple 06-May-2014 11:07:00 Publishing an artifact: All I don't think there is such option to disable creating artifact globally. What version of Bamboo are you using? – Trixy

Thanks for help, it was a bug at Bamboo: jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14585 – Ahvenanmaa

Answer 1

In artifact definition screen:

For Location specify a relative path to the files you want to create artifact For Copy pattern, specify the pattern to be copied.

For you case, put ./release into the Location box, then specify *.bz2 as a copy pattern.

For more info, see this issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-2149

Hi, Thank you for answering, unfortunately it didn't help. I have feeling that you can some how on global level switch off Artefact creation and thats why it does not work. I attached Bamboo build log to the question's description, maybe it could help. – Ahvenanmaa

and yes, after I fixed problem with publishing Artifacts, your solution is working. Thanks! – Ahvenanmaa

Answer 2

CW answer migrated from the question:

Due to the bug Shutting down Bamboo while builds are still running causes plugins (i.e. Artifact copier plugin) disabling (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-14585) Bamboo's system plugin "System Builders" could be disabled, so it stop publishing artifacts.

In comments to the bug you can find solution:

1. Go to Administration -> Manage add-ons
2. Select "System" from the filter drop down
3. Find the plugin "System Builders"
4. Enable it!

My version of Bamboo where bug is still appears: 5.4.1 build 4207 - 12 Feb 14.
