I am wanting to use the gl-sast-report.json file created during the SAST process in a subsequent stage of my CI but it is not found.
ci.yml
include:
- template: Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
- test
- .post
sast:
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
send-reports:
stage: .post
dependencies:
- sast
script:
- ls
- echo "in post stage"
- cat gl-sast-report.json
output:

You can see the line Removing gl-sast-report.json
which I assume is the issue.
I don't see that anywhere in the SAST.gitlab-ci.yml at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v11.11.0-rc2-ee/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml#L33-45
Any ideas on how to use this artifact in the next stage of my CI pipeline?
UPDATE:
So I tried out k33g_org's suggestion below but to no avail. Seems that this is due to limitations in the sast template specifically. Did the following test.
include:
- template: Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
- test
- upload
something:
stage: test
script:
- echo "in something"
- echo "this is something" > something.txt
artifacts:
paths: [something.txt]
sast:
before_script:
- echo "hello from before sast"
- echo "this is in the file" > test.txt
artifacts:
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
paths: [gl-sast-report.json, test.txt]
send-reports:
stage: upload
dependencies:
- sast
- something
before_script:
- echo "This is the send-reports before_script"
script:
- echo "in send-reports job"
- ls
artifacts:
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
Three changes:

Notes:
I can only conclude that there is something internal to the sast template that is not allowing artifacts to propagate to subsequent jobs.
in the first job (sast
) add this:
artifacts:
paths: [gl-sast-report.json]
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
and in the next job (send-reports
) add this
artifacts:
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
Then you should be able to access the report in the next job (send-reports
)
Instead of referencing the gl-sast-report.json
artifact as sast report, reference it as a regular artifact.
So what you should do is declare the artifact this way
artifacts:
paths:
- 'gl-sast-report.json'
instead of
reports:
sast: gl-sast-report.json
