| Description |
|
Please add the upload form to QuickBuild's UI that will allow to choose a file from user's computer and then upload it somewhere (for example to configuration's workspace or some better location) and assign to a variable.
This would enable users to upload files that are required to promote a build, but should not be kept in project repositories. Example: build produces a .zip file, but before promotion developer has to add a .pdf file to this .zip file. User would upload .pdf file and assign it to a variable, promotion step would include .pdf from variable in .zip file and do the standard work. |

Hi Robin.
Can you reconsider adding the file upload feature please? This feature would allow us to have a user selectable file upload for builds that utilize pre-built binaries. Currently we use a "file repository" and we rely on naming conventions to get the right file. This is error prone and the file repository doesn't give us any trace-ability about who placed the file on the file system. SCM, unfortunately is not an option here because the users that produce the pre-built binaries consider their work done once the file is dropped off at the file repo . As you have seen already, other users would like this feature too: http://forum.pmease.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3718&p=14099&hilit=file+upload&sid=f3c05ba8c5208a83afe875e528ee1e7e#p14099 http://forum.pmease.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3650&hilit=upload Other CI build systems have this feature: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Build The upload could go from the users system to node running the master step and the workspace of the config. |

| The file will be uploaded to temp directory. Do not forget to delete it after usage. |
