Bamboo - shared artifact not listed in deployment plan Artifact Download task list

Question

I have a build plan where I created a shared artifact. I ran the build plan and confirmed that the shared artifact was created by looking at the artifact tab in the build result.

However, I cannot find that artifact in the artifact list of my new Artifact Download task of my deployment project. Again, the artifact as defined in the build plan is shared.

Am I missing a step somewhere for sharing the artifact between the build plan and deployment project? the build plan has a single job (the default job).

Answer 1

There are a few things that could be wrong:

• Make sure that the build plan being targeted by the deployment is the one with the artifact. Sharing it is not enough.
• Double check that the artifact definition has the checkbox for shared checked.
• Select a completed build, select the build stage on the left, and select the artifacts tab. You should see a bold section labeled "Shared artifacts can be found under:" followed by the path on disk to the artifact. If this is not present then the problem is with how the artifact is being generated, not the deployment project.
