Wirtting this to see if someone can explain me how is it that artifacts work.
I have the yml file more a less like this (is a sample that I tried)
stages:
- mi stage1
- mi stage2
execute commands and save file:
image: gitlab.sample.com/box/dir1/image1
stage: mi stage1
script:
- touch /tmp/file1 #just create a simple file
- free >> /tmp/file1 #adding memory stats to it.
- df -h >> /tmp/file1 #adding disk info to same file.
- ls /tmp #
artifacts:
paths:
- /tmp/file1
login in and continue using artifact:
image: gitlab.sample.com/box/dir1/image1
stage: mi stage2
dependencies:
- execute commands and save file
script:
- echo “adding some new lines at the end of the file” >> /tmp/file1
- tail -2 /tmp/file1
- cat /tmp/file1
Here results of that STAGE1

Why Im having that warning on stage 1? I want to use artifact in nex stage and i can´t. I did a “ls” command as you can see and the file is there on tmp directory. Also I see that an artifactory was created at the end, but empty.
Can some one please explain how this works on gitlab? Artifacts, and how to use same artifact on nex stage ?
thanks!
