Summary
It is still possible that you may need to download an artifact from another plan, you may even need to get it from a specific plan branch. This article intends to explain how to do it.
Solution
Make sure the dependent or destination plan has a plan branch with the exact same name of the plan branch used in your parent/origin plan.
In other words, this is how the artifact download is handled in each situation:
Let's suppose you have these artifacts in your parent/origin plan:
Plan branch | Artifact name | Artifact content |
|---|---|---|
master | test.txt | test.txt from branch master |
branch1 | test.txt | test.txt from branch branch1 |
This will be the result of destination plan:
Plan branch name (destination plan) | Artifact downloaded (from source plan) | Artifact content | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
master | test.txt | Content from master | The master will get the artifact from master |
branch1 | text.txt | Content from branch1 | In this case, the branch name matches a plan branch from source plan, so the artifact from plan branch1 will be picket |
others | text.txt | Content from master | If there is no plan branch name match so the artifact from default branch will be picket |
