#Build #Gitlab #CI

Use the artifacts property to pass build artifacts from one build stage down to all the following stages.

.gitlab-cy.yml
stages:
  - stage_1
  - stage_2

one:
  stage: stage_1
  script:
    - echo "File 1" >> ./file1.txt
    - echo "File 2" >> ./file2.txt
    - mkdir dir1
    - echo "dir1 File" >> ./dir1/file.txt
    - mkdir dir2
    - echo "dir2 File" >> ./dir2/file.txt
  artifacts:
    paths:
    - file1.txt
    - dir1/

two:
  stage: stage_2
  script:
    - ls
    - ls dir1
    - cat file1.txt
    - cat dir1/file.txt

In the .gitlab-ci.yml above we are defining a build with 2 stages.

In stage_1 we are creating 4 files:

.
├── dir1
│   └── file.txt
├── dir2
│   └── file.txt
├── file1.txt
└── file2.txt

In stage_2, the following files files (created in stage_1) are available:

.
├── dir1
│   └── file.txt
├── file1.txt

The magic happens in the artifacts section of stage_1:

artifacts:
  paths:
  - file1.txt
  - dir1/

which means pass file1.txt and the dir1 folder (+ it’s content) to all the following stages.
