How to exclude file from archiveArtifact in declarative pipeline?

Question

    stage('Publish') {
        steps {
                bat 'dotnet publish -c Release'
        }

        post {
            always {
                archiveArtifacts artifacts: """/bin/publish/**""", excludes: """/bin/publish/Tests/**""", """/bin/publish/coverage/**""", fingerprint: true
            }
        }
    }

For this I am getting error as:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 57: Arguments to "archiveArtifacts" must be explicitly named. @ line 57, column 21.
                       archiveArtifacts artifacts: """/bin/publish/**""", excludes: """/bin/publish/Tests/**""", """/bin/publish/coverage/**""", fingerprint: true
                       ^

The third argument to archiveArtifacts isn't named. I.e. in your call:

archiveArtifacts artifacts: """/bin/publish/**""", excludes: """/bin/publish/Tests/**""", """/bin/publish/coverage/**""", fingerprint: true

You have the part , """/bin/publish/coverage/**""", which isn't named. I'm guessing that you want this to be part of the exclude argument, in that case you should comma separate the two exclude patterns within the first exclude pattern string, like this:

archiveArtifacts artifacts: """/bin/publish/**""", excludes: """/bin/publish/Tests/**, /bin/publish/coverage/**""", fingerprint: true

Also as @Fidel pointed out, you don't need to use triple quoted strings, so you could do:

archiveArtifacts artifacts: "/bin/publish/**", excludes: "/bin/publish/Tests/**, /bin/publish/coverage/**", fingerprint: true

or using single quotes:

archiveArtifacts artifacts: '/bin/publish/**', excludes: '/bin/publish/Tests/**, /bin/publish/coverage/**', fingerprint: true
