How to make copy artifact plugin copy multiple artifact from jobs dynamically

[Bala murugan]

Hi All,

In jenkins, 

I have a situation, where i need to copy artifacts from multiple jobs and each time the number of jobs changes. Is there a way to use copy artifact plugin to copy from multiple workspaces which can be configurable..?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Bala

The copy artifact does _not_ copy from the workspace, it only copies the artifacts that Jenkins saves.

You can copy saved artifacts from as many different jobs as you want – you just need multiple “copy artifacts” steps.

Actually, it does.

Weird and basically a "worst practice" IMO, but it exists.

Hi Daniel,

Yes i can add multiple copy_artifacts steps.. But for me, the number of artifacts i need to copy changes everytime, I am thinking a way to avoid changing the job to add and delete the copy_artifacts steps everytime.

Is there a way to do it?

Cheers

What drives the number of artifacts that need copying? (That is, how is the job going to work out the artifacts that are required to be copied)

So I have 21 different jobs which runs seperately for each git repo and archives the artifact.

And i have a job which deploys to a integration environment. in this job, i want to have these 21 jobs as choices , and i can select what jobs i need to copy each time when i trigger this job,,  the problem for me is if i have extended choice parameter i cannot use that value to pass to the copy_artifact plugin.

Does it make sense of what i am trying to achieve?

Cheers

You can use a Conditional step with a Regular expression match. You still need 21 steps... which is kind of hard to set up... But it is doable.

In the below screen "WhatBranchShoulBeUsed" is a Choice Parameter exposed to users (on of its values is "release").

Indeed, I see you're correct - when you specify "Which Build", there is an option "Copy from WORKSPACE of latest completed build".
As you say, of dubious merit, but doable.

Are you sure you cannot use the choice parameter in the Project name field? I do. I pass in project and build number and use them this way:

@rginga

Are u selecting mutiple choices in the $(PROJECT_ARTIFACTS} variable.. that where i get the problem..

single choice is working fine. when is select mutiple choices the copy artifact steps fails..

[Ginga, Dick]

I see. Nope, that field will take only one project name. Having spent all of 6 minutes thinking about this J you will have to accumulate all your artifacts in one place, perhaps on a share, and then use a shell command to copy the ones based on your extended choice values.
