How to have Bamboo artifacts collect a whole folders? - bamboo

I have one simple plan with one simple job.
Tasks:
Source code checkout
MSBuild
Run tests
Generate test report
In four steps, my utility generates a test report with screenshots. The report contain absolute links to images. (for example: onclick="window.open('./Screenshots/66ef3a03-8b82-4b40-b49d-b0155e273738.png');return false;").
If I open the report on my local machine, the report works fine, but on Bamboo I receive the error "Page Not Found", because Bamboo has not collected "Screenshots" folder.
How can I set up the Artifact Definition to collect folder with files?
P.S. I tried to set the \*.* copy pattern, but Bamboo collected only files (without folders and subfolders)

You just have to give the folder Location, like "build/", for instance, and then, in the Copy Pattern you can put **/*.* That should copy all the files you want.
Please note that:
The location is relative to the build directory. Do not use the absolute path to refer to the location.
Asterisks are not supported for Location. For this field, provide the folder name where the file would be located.
Plus, you can define as many Artifact Definitions as you want.

The best way of doing this is to zip all you artifact together. I created a bash script to do this
cd "toArtifactFolder"
zip -r Artifact .
Then in bamboo project settings you have to edit the Artifact and changed the location to where ever the artifact zip file is
Then in the Copy Pattern just enter the zip file eg Artifact.zip

Bamboo uses the "Ant file copy pattern".
Matching recursively against all files: **/*
This does include almost everything
Unfortunately this does not include dot-files, at least in my test on a linux build agent. I could not find a workaround apart from a second artifact (pattern **/.*) or the creation of an archive.
Matching against all files in any subfolder: */*
This does not include foo/bar/test.xyz
This does include both foo/test.xyz and bar/test.xyz
You can do more advanced matching; e.g. you can use build/**/*.jar to copy all jars from a build directory.

How to to define bamboo artifact so its NOT published in syb folder

The artifact definition and the file structure in the bitbucket repository is as below.
The build when run creates application-dev.properties & safeguard-dev.properties under classes folder. When i click them it takes me to classes folder inside which the property files are present. But i want them to be published directly like the jar. So that when I click the file it should download. But if i give full path it errors out. Please help me how to define this?
error 19-Dec-2022 16:34:57 Failing as no matching files has been found and empty artifacts are not allowed.
error 19-Dec-2022 16:34:57 Unable to publish artifact [application-dev.properties]:
error 19-Dec-2022 16:34:57 The artifact is required, build will now fail.
Bamboo won't put the artifacts in a subfolder if the "Location" points to exactly where the files are. I.e. don't use the "**" wildcard in the "Copy pattern". I'd say try even to have a separate artifact per properties file.
Your location is pointing to "workdir/src", but you need "target/classes". Get rid of the $bamboo.build.working.directory: that's not the maven build dir and you don't need it altogether (because current work dir is already set to your project dir). If I get the paths right, this should work:
Name: application-dev.properties
Location: target/classes
Copy pattern: application-dev.properties

TFS 2015 Artifacts always empty upon build

I have created build definition which runs successfully. Now I want to create a release definition on the successful build, for which it is asking for artifacts.
When I tried browsing "Drop" folder, I found it empty.
Below are the images from Copy Files step and Publish build artifacts step.
I also tried instructions from The item MY_ARTIFACT_NAME in container XXX could not be found
But no luck. Please help.
I believe that you should use $(build.sourcesdirectory) (or a path relative to) as the source folder if you want to copy files which are not checked in.
Also, from the documentation of the Copy Files step
The pattern is used to match only file paths, not folder paths. So you should specify patterns such as **\bin\** instead of of **\bin.
Try changing the contents pattern to **\bin\** and see if that helps.

Something strange with Project Paths in IntelliJ 14.1.4

So, something has started to act weird in my intelliJ project. I even tried removing the iml and .idea data, to no avail.
I go to Project Structure. There, I have a content root. Withing, I have three folders - one for my jar (and jni lib), one for Samples and one for Tools (just tools written to use the jar). The jar, Samples and Tools are marked blue (sources).
In the jar folder, I have my source tree (com\company\projectname\XXX), a lib folder, a folder for my JNI lib and a folder I created call 'junit', which is the focus of this question. It is marked in Project Structure in green (Tests).
Within, I have a folder structure eerily similar to my code: com\company\projectname\junit.
When I open a file in junit\com\company\xxx\junit, I have a big red underline under my package com.company.xxx.junit; line which tells me: "Package name 'com.company.xxx.junit' does not correspond to the file path 'junit.com.company.xxx.junit'.
I was under the impression that marking a folder as 'Tests' would instruct the IDE to use that as a "parent" folder, if you will, eliminating the need to prepend another folder name.
How can I separate the code from unit tests and in fact, create two junit test suites (one is for internal use, the other is a 'skeleton' for distribution), park them under one "umbrella" folder and NOT have to prepend the package names with that folder name?
Update: Project structure:
Based on your screen shot, the issue is that the junit directory is a subdirectory of another source directory, namely MyProvider. A source directory (whether a "production" source or a unit test source directory) cannot be a subdirectory of another source directory.
You need to either:
move the junit directory out of MyProvider so it is a sibling directory, or
unmark MyProvider as a source directory, create a main (or some such directory) in MyProvider, mark it as a source directory, and then move the com directory/package into main.
Option 2 would be the preferred way to deal with this as it follows a very common directory structure standard.
UPDATE (Following comment from OP)
Here's a couple of screenshot showing the configuration you desire:
I removed the .IdeaIC15 folder and started over. Working for now. Something must have gotten confused in the config, either as part of the update, or in the course of operation. I have taken a backup copy as it is now, so if this happens again, I will have something to check.

Bamboo artifacts

I am very new to Bamboo. I have got a html file generated using log4j. I wish to put it in user-defined artifacts but don't know how.
It is in surefire-reports folder so I tried giving Source directory as "**/target/surefire-reports/" and Artifact Copy Pattern as "**/*.html" but it doesn't seems to work.
Any idea how to configure it?
Try to change copy pattern to
*.html
and verify your complete path.
I wanted to get all surefire reports from each module, so I created a new Artifact definition with:
Name = Surefire Reports
Location =
Copy Pattern = /target/surefire-reports/.*
This was using Bamboo 3.2.2.
The Location field does not provide the Ant file copy pattern feature, only a fixed path is accepted relative to the working directory.
Set the Location as target/surefire-reports
and the Copy pattern as **/*.html
Also make sure that the Shared checkbox is set, otherwise other jobs will not be able to download the artifact.

Teamcity 2 configurations merge and deploy

I have two teamcity configurations one becoming my common helpers and reuseable components and my other a website which uses the common project.
I use a third configuration to publish to a test environment.
When the third configuration is run i would like it to get the artifacts from the common project and merge them with the website output and deploy. Am i asking for two much?
This ought to be pretty straightforward.
On ThirdConfig add two artifact dependencies. One whose source is CommonProject, and another whose source is WebProject. When configuring an artifact dependency it will allow you to specify which artifact files are are actually pulled from CommonProject and WebProject into ThirdConfig via the 'Artifact paths'. The artifact files can then be placed into some new folder hierarchy specific to ThirdConfig by using the 'Destination path'. These two options ought to be enough to create the directory structure that is the merging of CommonProject and WebProject. That takes care of the merge part.
The deploy is a bit more tricky. To my knowledge TeamCity does not support any sort of 'copy or upload to external location' function out of the box. For this bit you'll need to create an msbuild script (or batch file, or anything that can be run from the command line). Said script can expect the file/directory structure you've created via artifact dependencies where the root of the structure is the initial working directory of the script, and need only push these files out to your specific deploy location. That 'push' of course is going to be specific to your environment. Ftp, unc share, etc.
