Add new dependency

Click this link to specify the artifact dependency.

Depend on

Specify the build configuration that the current build configuration should depend on.

Get artifacts from

Specify the type of build, from which the artifacts should be taken. The following options are available:

• Last successful build

• Last pinned build

• Last finished build

• Build number

  tip

  When selecting the build configuration, take your clean-up policy settings into account. Builds are cleaned and deleted on a regular basis, thus the build configuration could become dependent on a non-existent build. When artifacts are taken from a build with a specific number, then the specific build will not be deleted during clean-up.

Build number

Use this field to specify the exact Build Numbering of the artifact. This field is enabled, if the Build number option is selected in the Get artifacts from field.

Artifacts path

Specify the artifact's path to the "source" build. The path should be relative to the artifacts directory of the "source" build. The path can either match a specific file, or wildcards (*, ?) can be used to include multiple files and directory names. Note the "." that separates the file name from the extension is not matched by either "*" or "?" and, if necessary, should be included in the wildcard directly. Please also note that downloaded artifacts will have the same directory structure as the source artifacts. For example: use a/b/*.* to download all files with extension from a/b directory of the source build. If there is a a/b/c/file.txt file in the source build artifacts, it will be donwloaded into the file: DestinationPath/a/b/c/file.txt

More artifacts

Click this link to open an additional text field, where you can specify the path to additional artifacts.

Destination path

Specify the destination path on the agent where downloaded artifacts should be placed. If the path is relative, it will be resolved against the Build Checkout Directory. If needed, the destination path can be cleaned before downloading artifacts.

Clean directory before downloading artifacts

Check this option to delete the content of the destination directory before copying artifacts.
