Attach any file as an Artifact to the Build

For this example we’ll attach the OS X system.log to the Build as an Artifact, but this works for any file, even for ones that you generate during the build, you just have to replace the example path we use (/var/log/system.log) with the path you want to deploy. You can of course use Environment Variables in the path too, like $HOME/.

Deployed Artifacts appear on the Build’s page, in the Artifacts & Apps section, and anyone who has access to the Build page can download it from there.

To do this:

• Add a new Deploy to Bitrise.io step to your workflow, to any point you want to (can be the very last step in the workflow, but of course if you want to deploy a file which is generated during the build you should add the step after the file is generated and available).
• Change the Deploy directory or file path input of the Step to: /var/log/system.log

A YAML configuration example of the step & input:

    - deploy-to-bitrise-io:
        inputs:
        - deploy_path: "/var/log/system.log"

That’s all, your next build will attach the OS X system log file to your build - you’ll see it at the top of the Build’s page.

Deploy a directory ⚓

The Deploy to Bitrise.io step accepts both file and directory path as its input, but by default it does not deploy files recursively, from sub directories if you specify a directory as it’s deploy_path input.

If you want to do that and deploy the whole directory with every sub directory and the files in the sub directories, you have to enable the “Compress” option of the step.

In this mode the step will compress (zip) the whole directory, and deploy the compressed file, instead of deploying files one by one.

An example configuration:

    - deploy-to-bitrise-io:
        inputs:
        - deploy_path: /deploy/this/directory/recursively
        - is_compress: 'true'

Note: as every input’s, _is_compress_’s value have to be a string, that’s why _true_ is surrounded with quotes.
