[SOLVED] Azure pipeline : DownloadBuildArtifacts@0 task itemPattern, can't download 2 files with different file suffixes and name patterns

Azure pipeline : DownloadBuildArtifacts@0 task itemPattern, can't download 2 files with different file suffixes and name patterns

I'm using DownloadBuildArtifacts@0 and I like to download all the *.ipa files and also the manifest.plist file.

When writing : itemPattern: '**/*.ipa it is downloading the ipa file but when I do:

- job: copy_back_files_to_self_hosted_connect
  dependsOn: mac_agent 
  timeoutInMinutes: 10
  pool: Default
  steps:
    - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
      inputs:
        buildType: 'current'
        downloadType: 'single'
        artifactName: 'Artifacts'
        itemPattern: '**/*.ipa|manifest.plist'
        downloadPath: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
    - task: CopyFiles@2
      inputs:
        SourceFolder: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
        Contents: '**/*.ipa|manifest.plist'
        TargetFolder: '$(Agent.HomeDirectory)/../${{parameters.FolderCompile}}'

It downloaded none of the files not ipa and not the manifest.plist. What is the right pattern to download both all the time?

Solution

Coming from your previous ticket....

You need define your task as below format:

- task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
  displayName: 'Download Build Artifacts'
  inputs:
    buildType: 'current'
    downloadType: 'single'
    artifactName: Artifacts
    itemPattern: |
     **/*.ipa
     **/manifest.plist

- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy Files'
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
    Contents: |
     **/*.ipa
     **/manifest.plist
    TargetFolder: '$(Agent.HomeDirectory)/../${{parameters.FolderCompile}}'

Since .ipa and manifest.plist are all come from the build artifact: Artifacts, both of them are all under the Artifacts folder. So, please also do not forget to use **/manifest.plist to retrieve your needed files.
