QuickBuild

Recursive download of published artifacts #1743

Greetings,

First of all, thanks for the great product!

I have a question/suggestion regarding recursive download of published artifacts. When there is a tree of build artifacts like this:

-foo
  \
  |-bar
  |-baz


It's possible to click foo and get a zip archive with bar and baz in it. But the archive is always called 'download.zip'. Is it possible to make it take the name of folder (e.g. foo.zip) ? It would make more sense I think.

+1 for this issue a proper naming for the artifact DL would be great.
using QB 5.0.10

I've updated to QB 5.0.23 and I noticed that the downloaded artifacts are now compressed in the .tar format instead of the .zip format which was used previously.

Is that intentional? It's not a big issue but I expected the file format to stay the same.

Do you mean folders being downloaded via GUI? I checked and it is still zip format.

Yes. When clicking on the "download all artifacts" button, the file is named "artifacts.tar". Similar thing happens when I click on a folder (file is named "<folder_name>.tar").

This was tested on an old build that was generated with a previous version of QuickBuild. When I downloaded its artifacts on QB 5.0.18, it was in the .zip format.

I can confirm that. Our users noticed that after an upgrade from 5.0.19 to 5.0.23, but I can't check it on 5.0.19 as we don't have such instance anymore.

QB server is installed on Linux. "Published artifacts" are downloaded as *.tar files, "External artifacts" as *.zip files. This is not a problem since all archive managers are able to unpack/extract tars, but we were a bit confused <!-- s;-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;-) -->

Sorry you are right the file is named under ".tar" (although it is still zip format). Will fix this in next patch release.
