CI/CD artifact sharing

GitLab CI/CD

Hi

I just created a new project with CI/CD.

image: node:latest

before_script:

  • ls
  • apt update
  • apt install python3-pip --assume-yes
  • npm install -g @angular/cli

stages:

  • build
  • deploy

build:
stage: ‘build’
script:
- npm install
- ng build --prod --outputPath release
cache:
paths:
- node_modules/
artifacts:
when: on_success
name: ‘$CI_JOB_NAME-$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME’
paths:
- release/
only:
- master

deploy:
stage: ‘deploy’
dependencies:
- build
script:
- pip3 install awscli --upgrade
- aws s3 sync release s3://$S3_BUCKET_NAME --delete
only:
- tags

So as you can see i create an artifact to “release/”. So the build runs and then when I goto the details of the job I can download the artifact and everything is fine. Then I create a tag on the repository/branch and it triggers the “deploy” but for some reason, the release folder or any remembrance of the artifact is not there. Is artifact only supported on sequential jobs.

thanks

You likely need an explicit dependency:

needs:
- build
