Artifact Dependency Issue in TeamCity 2024.07.3 with Composite Builds

Hi,

Thank you for your response!

In my investigations, I've found that either the entire zip archive from the test build is made available as an artifact in the composite build, or nothing at all. This inconsistency makes it challenging to retrieve the specific artifacts I need. Any insights on why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!

Here the code of the Test-Build:

Version latestPortable
package _Self.buildTypes

import jetbrains.buildServer.configs.kotlin.*
import jetbrains.buildServer.configs.kotlin.buildSteps.python

object BuildConfigTest : BuildType({
    name = "BuildConfig_Test"

    artifactRules = """
        ** => readme.7z
        ** => readme.zip
    """.trimIndent()

    params {
        param("VCSRoot.Test.TeamCity.Repo2", "master")
    }

    vcs {
        root(TestTeamCityRepo2)
    }

    steps {
        python {
            name = "Simple Python Step 1"
            id = "Simple_Python_Step"
            command = script {
                content = """print ("Hello")"""
            }
        }
        python {
            name = "Simple Python Step 2"
            id = "Simple_Python_Step_2"
            command = script {
                content = """print ("Hello")"""
            }
        }
    }
})

and the Composite-BuildConfig:

package _Self.buildTypes

import jetbrains.buildServer.configs.kotlin.*

object Composite : BuildType({
    name = "Composite"

    type = BuildTypeSettings.Type.COMPOSITE

    vcs {
        showDependenciesChanges = true
    }

    dependencies {
        dependency(BuildConfigTest) {
            snapshot {
                reuseBuilds = ReuseBuilds.NO
            }

            artifacts {
                cleanDestination = true
                artifactRules = "+:readme.zip!/test/**=>FromTestBuild"
            }
        }
    }
})

and a screenshot of the teamcity composite build artefacts:

thank you for your help, but also with your given configuration … same result (no artifacts).

Hi again,

I’ve investigated further and noticed the following:

When I set the build type of the Composite-Build to "Regular," I can add an artifact path directly in the General Settings, and everything works as expected. However, when I switch to a "Composite" build type, I can't find an option to specify an artifact path in the General Settings.

This makes me wonder: is using a composite build for this setup perhaps the wrong approach? Is there a recommended way to handle artifact paths specifically in composite builds, or should I reconsider using a composite build type here?

Thanks for any guidance!
