How does one download a build artifact from Azure Pipelines?

Question

I am successfully creating build artifacts in my public Github repository's Azure Pipeline:

  - task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
    inputs:
      pathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
      artifactName: drop

But after a CI build, I would like to download this artifact to my laptop and examine it. All I can find is how to make a manual REST API call where I need to know my build number and the artifact name.

Is it not possible to download the artifacts registered from the Azure Pipelines web interface?

Answer 1

Location of build artifacts has been changed. Navigate to Pipelines, Pipelines, select build run and click on link under Artifacts section. On Published artifacts page, there is link to download artifacts
