Got "Failed to copy artifacts from another project with filter: **/*.war" while copying the war file from another project

Question

Initially i used below configuration and job failed

It gave below error message

It worked with below configuration

So basically when i changed "Which build" option from "Latest successful build" to "Copy from WORKSPACE of latest completed build" it worked .

Can some please help me understand what it the difference between "Latest successful build" and "Copy from WORKSPACE of latest completed build" options.

Answer 1

In the first (source) project, you will need to add a post-build step to Archive the artifact, otherwise, they will not be archived and the destination project won't be able to find them under the "artifact" folder.

Answer 2

Hi I had the same problem:

ERROR: Failed to copy artifacts from package with filter: **/*.war
[DeployPublisher][INFO] Build failed, project not deployed
Finished: FAILURE

AND the solution was:

Config Project > Copy artifacts from another project > Which build > select the option: " Copy from WORKSPACE of latest completed build"
