Description

« Hide

We have a configuration that does a checkout of a git repository and publishes the result. In the publish step, the "Files to Publish" field is set to "**, defaultexcludes=no" so that the .git* files and directories are *not* excluded.

If "Artifact Storage" is set to "Store artifacts on server", then this works as expected where .git* files are accessible from UI and as QuickBuild dependency checkout.

However, when "Artifact Storage" is set to "Store artifacts on specified agent", then no references are generated for the .git* files on server-side and thus not accessible via UI and dependency. However, the .git* files *do* exist on storage agent.

We are currently using QB 7.0.19.

As a workaround, we could probably just tar or zip the contents into an archive and publish that instead... but dependents would need the extra step to unarchive it.

Correction: it looks like the .git* files are transferred when used as dependency in another configuration. They are only inaccessible from UI and download since server does not have a reference file for them.
