# Download-Artifact v2
|
|
|
|
This downloads artifacts from your build
|
|
|
|
See also [upload-artifact](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact).
|
|
|
|
# What's new
|
|
|
|
- Download all artifacts at once
|
|
- Output parameter for the download path
|
|
- Port entire action to typescript from a runner plugin so it is easier to collaborate and accept contributions
|
|
|
|
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/download-artifact/tree/v1) for the previous version
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
See [action.yml](action.yml)
|
|
|
|
# Download a Single Artifact
|
|
|
|
Basic (download to the current working directory):
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact
|
|
|
|
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
|
|
run: ls -R
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download to a specific directory:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact
|
|
path: path/to/artifact
|
|
|
|
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
|
|
run: ls -R
|
|
working-directory: path/to/artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility between `v1` and `v2`
|
|
|
|
When using `download-artifact@v1`, a directory denoted by the name of the artifact would be created if the `path` input was not provided. All of the contents would be downloaded to this directory.
|
|
```
|
|
current/working/directory/
|
|
my-artifact/
|
|
... contents of my-artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With `v2`, there is no longer an extra directory that is created if the `path` input is not provided. All the contents are downloaded to the current working directory.
|
|
```
|
|
current/working/directory/
|
|
... contents of my-artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To maintain the same behavior for `v2`, you can set the `path` to the name of the artifact so an extra directory gets created.
|
|
```
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
with:
|
|
name: my-artifact
|
|
path: my-artifact
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Download All Artifacts
|
|
|
|
If the `name` input parameter is not provided, all artifacts will be downloaded. **To differentiate between downloaded artifacts, a directory denoted by the artifacts name will be created for each individual artifact.**
|
|
Example, if there are two artifacts `Artifact-A` and `Artifact-B`, and the directory is `etc/usr/artifacts/`, the directory structure will look like this:
|
|
```
|
|
etc/usr/artifacts/
|
|
Artifact-A/
|
|
... contents of Artifact-A
|
|
Artifact-B/
|
|
... contents of Artifact-B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download all artifacts to a specific directory
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
with:
|
|
path: path/to/artifacts
|
|
|
|
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
|
|
run: ls -R
|
|
working-directory: path/to/artifacts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Download all artifacts to the current working directory
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
|
|
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
|
|
run: ls -R
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Download path output
|
|
|
|
The `download-path` step output contains information regarding where the artifact was downloaded to. This output can be used for a variety of purposes such as logging or as input to other actions. Be aware of the extra directory that is created if downloading all artifacts (no name specified).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
|
|
- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
|
|
id: download
|
|
with:
|
|
name: 'my-artifact'
|
|
path: path/to/artifacts
|
|
|
|
- name: 'Echo download path'
|
|
run: echo ${{steps.download.outputs.download-path}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Note: The `id` defined in the `download/artifact` step must match the `id` defined in the `echo` step (i.e `steps.[ID].outputs.download-path`)

# @actions/artifact package
|
|
|
|
Internally the [@actions/artifact](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact) NPM package is used to interact with artifacts. You can find additional documentation there along with all the source code related to artifact download.
