Store artifacts is successful but files not present in artifacts tab

Within your config file, you can opt to upload build artifacts using the store_artifacts key and specifying a path to upload.

These artifacts are then able to be downloaded on the artifacts tab or via the API. The download link in both cases is constructed of two parts, the first part of the URL is where we are hosting it:

https://12-3456789-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0

While the second part of the URL is the path you specified in the store_artifacts step:

~/project/app/test/app.txt

So altogether the URL would look something like:

https://12-3456789-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/~/project/app/test/app.txt

Because of this if you had your store_artifacts step set to:

  - store_artifacts:
  	path: ../project/app/test

This would still successfully upload the artifacts but they would in turn not be available via the UI or API as .. within a URL is interpreted as a null value.

To both successfully upload the artifacts and make them available for download use a path like this:

  - store_artifacts:
  	path: ~/project/app/test

Or this:

  - store_artifacts:
  	path: root/project/app/test
