Uploading a single file

[lannonbr]

Say I wish to upload a screenshot made from puppeteer, can it be possible to upload just the image generated rather than a zip file only containing that image.

you can't since we use the artifact name as a folder to hold all uploaded files.

@TingluoHuang I think that counts as a feature request :)

@os6sense agreed, the UI could have some pop-up dialog to allow you download individual file within your artifact.

IMHO, this action could/should:

• Support providing a list of items, each being either a folder (current behaviour), a file (first comment above), a glob pattern (also requested in Feature request: wildcards #11), or an exclude pattern (Exclude files/dirs either by name or regexp #44 (comment)).
• NOT package the content automatically.
• The name should be optional, and only used to create 'sections' in the pop-up, not to name the artifacts.

For example:

  with:
    title: my-artifacts
      - files: [ path/to/artifact.tar.gz ]
      - name: "Packages"
        files: [ path/to/rpms/*.rpm,  path/to/debs/*.deb ]
      - name: "Docs"
        files: [ "README.md", path/to/docs, !path/to/docs/tmp ]

would create:

• my-artifacts:
  • artifact.tar.gz
  • Packages:
    • package_x86_64.rpm
    • package_aarch64.rpm
    • package_x86_64.deb
    • package_aarch64.deb
  • Docs
    • README.md
    • USE_GUIDE.md
    • CHANGELOG.md

Ideally, the GUI would allow to download each file separately OR a tarball of each of the sections ('Packages' and/or 'Docs', in these examples), as suggested by @TingluoHuang.

EDIT

Related to #5, each of the files or sections should also have a 'remove' button, only visible to maintainers.

Ideally, it would be possible to reorganize the content of the 'artifacts folder'. I.e., move items from a section to another.

Yup, would love to be able to upload files instead. my build process already ends with a zip file and currently this action would just zip the zip.

This is worse with any non-zip package/tarball. For zips I extract them, so they are compressed again. However, for tar.gz, you get double compression.

@damccorm any plans for that?

I would also love to be able to specify an already made zip or other single file instead of getting zip containing a zip
