Plugin Information
Adds a build step to copy artifacts from another project. The plugin lets you specify which build to copy artifacts from (e.g. the last successful/stable build, by build number, or by a build parameter). You can also control the copying process by filtering the files being copied, specifying a destination directory within the target project, etc. Click the help icon on each field to learn the details, such as selecting Maven or multiconfiguration projects or using build parameters. You can also copy from the workspace of the latest completed build of the source project, instead of its artifacts. All artifacts copied are automatically fingerprinted for you.
Configuration Notes
- When using this plugin with a Windows slave node that is configured as a Windows service, the service should have permission to interact with desktop (select "Allow service to interact with desktop" from Jenkins Slave service properties). Otherwise you may see errors similar to this:
ERROR: Failed to copy artifacts from ...
hudson.util.IOException2: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class hudson.remoting.Pipe$ConnectCommand cannot
access its superclass hudson.remoting.Command
at hudson.FilePath.copyRecursiveTo(FilePath.java:1526)
at hudson.FilePath.copyRecursiveTo(FilePath.java:1451)
at hudson.plugins.copyartifact.FilePathCopyMethod.copyAll(FilePathCopyMethod.java:51)
...
Permissions to copy artifact
When you face a following message and fail to copy artifacts, this may be caused by permission to the project with artifacts. Please read this section once.
Specifying project statically (without variables)
- This case:
- In this case, you can copy artifacts if you have permission to read the project to copy from at configuration time.
Specifying project dynamically (with variables)
- Those cases:
- If your Jenkins is secured, it fails to copy artifacts without a proper configuration.
- You need to allow projects copy artifacts in one of following ways:
Allow read from anonymous
- Copyartifact plugin treats builds running as an anonymous.
- Copying artifacts is allowed if the project with artifacts is readable from anonymous.
- When you use Matrix-based security for authorization, it can be done as following in Manage Jenkins > Global Security Configuration:
- When you use Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy for authorization, it can be done as following in the configuration page of the project to copy artifacts from:
Specify projects who can copy artifacts
- Available since Copyartifact 1.30
- In the project configuration pages, you can specify projects to allow copy artifacts from that project:
- You can specify multiple projects with separating with commas.
- You can use wildcard character ('*') to specify name patterns.
 | Since Copyartifact 1.30, there is a limitation "Permission to Copy Artifacts" accepts only relative project names.
If you use CloudBees Folders Plugin and the projects are located in different folders, you need to specify project names like "../folder/project".
This is fixed in Copyartifact 1.31. |
Authorize builds as a user
- Available since Jenkins 1.532
- To be exact, the feature of Jenkins to authorize builds are available since 1.520, but who cares such details?
- Authorize Project plugin enables you to run builds of a project as a specific user.
- Copyartifact plugin treats builds running as an anonymous without authorization configurations.
- You can resolve permission problems by running builds as a user with read permission to the project with artifacts

- Added a parameter to specify whether to copy from the newest upstream or the oldest one when triggered by multiple upstreams. (issue #11655)
- Fixed: Copying from workspace drops files matching Ant's default excludes (issue #14900)
- *Specify explicitly files matching Ant's default excludes with "Artifacts not to copy" if you need to exclude them.
- Added exclude filter. (issue #18662)
- Fixed inproper help texts of filter. Copyartifact doesn't fail even specified files don't really exist. (issue #23444)
Version 1.30 (Feb 16, 2014)

Version 1.29 (Jan 29, 2014)
- Support (mostly) absolute path for job name
i.e. job name can be fully qualified but not start with "/"
required for backward compatibility (issue #19833)

Version 1.16 (Apr 17, 2011)
- Add build selector to select the upstream build that triggered this job. (issue #8999)
- Avoid NullPointerException triggered by Build Pipeline Plugin. (issue #9359)

Version 1.10 (Oct 10, 2010)
- Add option to copy from workspace of latest completed build. (issue #7130)
Note: source and target jobs cannot both run on slave nodes; at least one must be on the master node.
- Strip newlines in XML form of build selector parameters, to avoid breaking ant execution on windows. (issue #7680)

Just one question: Is it possible to select the project by build parameter, too? I have very large test data (> 10GB) and more than one configuration for building my binaries (e.g. Release jobs). If I can select the project by build parameter I would need only one test job (and not 10GB diskspace for every testjob ;-) )
Thank you very much!

I have a Flex build that puts its output into a target folder in the workspace, build/flex-build. Underneath that folder, there's some various Flex support files, framework libraries, our portal control, then some folders like com/ourcompany/project1, com/ourcompany/project2, etc. Each of the project1, project2 folders contains a number of Flex SWFs.
When the Flex build completes, in the Post-build Actions, I check Archive the artifacts, then in the Files to archive box I put: build/flex-build/**. That ends up archiving everything in there properly, but it has the build/flex-build path at the beginning of it.
The problem really bites me when I try to use copy artifact to copy these into my Java build. I have a web app with a /flex folder. What I really want is everything in build/flex-build to be copied into my flex folder. So for Artifacts to copy, I specify build/flex-build/*, then for *Target directory I specify the path to the flex folder in the Java build.
But instead of getting the contents of the flex-build folder copied into the flex web app folder, what I get is the top-level build folder in the flex folder, meaning that all the stuff I want in /flex is actually two levels down.
So is there any way to say I want to use these artifacts starting at this folder level? Or something like that?
I think in the short-term I'm going to have to modify the build out folder for the Flex build, but if I'm missing something, please inform me!

The problem scenario is described in the following thread:
http://hudson.361315.n4.nabble.com/How-to-promote-artifacts-of-a-previous-build-td3038590.html#a3038590
In essence, I want to retrieve the artifacts of the build being promoted in order to push them elsewhere (say to an FTP server, or whatever). This sounded to me like the perfect combination of three plugins in order: promoted-build, copy-artifact and ftppublisher. My problem is that I can't find a way to tell the copy-artifact plugin for which build I want to get the artifacts. All I have, from the promoted-builds plugin, is a reference to the build itself, via $PROMOTED_URL. Would it make sense to add a function to copy-artifacts so it could consume the $PROMOTED_URL information supplied by the promoted-build plugin?
Currently, I have to write custom steps in the build promotion logic for retrieving the wanted artifacts (using wget) -- thus in effect not using the copy-artifacts plugin at all, which is a pity.

Instead it puts the artifacts into a folder titled '$LABEL=$NODE_NAME within the destination projects workspace. For example, I have it set to copy artifacts named "*/.pkg, */.msi" from Matrix Project "Foo", build #50. "Foo" is configured with a Slave axis which builds two jobs, one on a slave titled "mac" and the other on "winxp". After the artifacts are copied, the destination project ends up with $WORKSPACE/slave=winxp/Installer.msi and $WORKSPACE/slave=mac/Installer.pkg. It should be placing the Installer.pkg and Installer.msi files in $WORKSPACE and not creating 'slave=winxp' or 'slave=mac' folders.

First of all, I'd like to note that plugin works really well. Thank you very much.
However, I've recently had a need to perform the following task:
The old system had job2, which followed job1 directly, copying artifact from there. Now I have job1x, which is very different from job1 but gives the same artifact file afterwards.
Is there a way for me to copy an artifact not from a specific job, but rather from a job that trigger job2, be it job1 or job1x? Or do I need to make a new job that corresponds solely to job1x and takes artifact from there?
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Vladimir

After a build that uses Copy Artifact has completed, I now see two "See Fingerprints" links on the side of the build page. Both links go to the same place, but the list contains ONLY the fingerprint of the artifact that was copied. Any other files/artifacts that were fingerprinted are not displayed on this list. Not sure if this is a jenkins issue or a plugin issue.

I tried upgrading Jenkins to the latest -- 1.503 -- but the problem persists, so I tend to think this is a bug with this plugin. Did you file a bug report on this?

Does anybody noticed that this plugin with newer versions of Jenkins (above 1.455) causes error when Jenkins try to create archive from file which is symlink to file with long path. I.e. when I try to archive file wich is symlink to file: "/var/fpwork/ciscnsn/jenkins_master/jhome/jobs/artifact_copy_test/builds/2012-10-09_14-07-32/archive/src/lteDo/exec/dsp/release/LFSPC-DLDSP-MT2-RT_00099999.BIN" I've got this error
Any suggestion?

Problem: Using a parametrized build for a component release build we have to co...Problem:
Using a parametrized build for a component release build we have to copy the required base libraries of a concrete version into the current job. At this moment we create release build jobs for those base libraries for each concrete release version representing a subversion tag (base 1.1, base 1.1, base 1,2, ....). In all other jobs we copy the concrete release version of the libraries specifying the concrete release build job. That's not comfortable.
Preferred solution:
We would like to create one parametrized release build job only for the base libraries (fine) but then how can we copy a concrete version of the libraries from one job? For sure we don't want to specify the build number because this is - like in coding - not an expressive (readable) value.
What we are seeking for is : copy from job mylibraries.release/SVN_TAG=1.5 Can this be done? Or can this be provided in near future?
PS: What I can see is that - using SVN_TAG as parameter - for a done job I can find the value under "Injected environment variables".

Copy Artifacts Plugin is suposed to abstract the specifics away and let you use built in Jenkins artifact handeling functionality to get at artifacts by perma links, or "last good build" or even (see my problem below) filtering projects based on project parameters. Check out the pop up help.
Im considering the global artifact location as an alternative to CopyArtifacts plugin.

Before I pull my hair out, is this SUPOSED to work, maybe I missing something basic?
Hard coding a KEY=VALUE pair in the PROJECT NAME like this: Project Name = CHILD_JOB/PARENT_BUILD_TAG=jenkins-PARENT_JOB-67 works as expected and I can get the artifiact from the corect CHILD_JOB job.
However, using a variable in the KEY=VALUE pair like this: Project Name = CHILD_JOB/PARENT_BUILD_TAG=$MY_BUILD_TAG fails!
Odly enough, in the error message we see that it understood variable in some way.
"Unable to find project for artifact copy: CHILD_JOB/PARENT_BUILD_TAG=jenkins-PARENT_JOB-67" which is exactly what I hard coded previously! DOH!

In particular, if a file is no longer in the source directory of the artifacts, then in the "copy" step, does it remove the file from the artifacts in the target job? because it doesn't appear to. So that means the downstream job is accumulating old artifacts that are no longer really artifacts.

I have an issue when a build is triggered from an incremental build. When that happens, some artifacts might not have been generated so I moved to fetch artifacts based on module instead of parent archiving. That works fine until a build is aborted and some artifacts are generated.
The module artifacts appear to be successful and stable but since the build was aborted nothing have been uploaded to the master so the builds fail until a new artifact of that module is generated...
There is any way to sort it out? Filter through parent completion status or something?
Thanks

I am trying to use Copy Artifact plugin to copy results from one job that builds iOS application and produces Application.app folder (to run in iOS Simulator) into anothe job that uses Calabash to execute tests over that Application.app in iOS Simulator.
And I faced with a critical problem - whenever I copy results myself manually everything works perfectly but when I try to copy results using Copy Artifact plugin I constantly receive error that iOS simulator can't load application.
I guess it may be because of links inside Application.app folder or because of empty folders / files.
Could you please fix it.

The build job is configured to archive the artifacts at the end of the build, and these artifacts get stored on the remote slave. The deploy job is configured to copy artifacts from the build job but fails as it is unable to find the build job and therefore the build artifacts, It appears the "copy artifacts" plugin may be looking for the build artifacts on the master when they are actually stored on the remote.
If this is true, is there a plan to enhance this plugin to allow for copying over artifacts that are on the remote slave itself?
