Task name
ArchiveFiles@2
Task version
2.256.0
Issue Description
I suspect that in the latest version where task-lib has been update to the ;atest version in ArchiveFilesV2 task there is a bug.
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/releases/tag/v256
In our case, we create a zip file and then add files or folders to it.
- task: ArchiveFiles@2
name: PackageFolder
displayName: 'Package Templates Folder'
inputs:
rootFolderOrFile: '$(packagePath)/templates'
includeRootFolder: true
archiveFile: '${zipFileName).zip'
replaceExistingArchive: false
- task: ArchiveFiles@2
name: PackageFile
displayName: 'Package Manifest File'
inputs:
rootFolderOrFile: '$(packagePath)/package-manifest.json'
includeRootFolder: false
archiveFile: '$(zipFileName).zip'
replaceExistingArchive: false
When rootFolderOrFile points to a folder everything works fine, but an error occurs when a single file needs to be added to the archive. Worth to check is there only issue with adding to archive or also with creating one from a single file.
Due to documentation rootFolderOrFile should support folder or single file:
https://learn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/archive-files-v2?view=azure-pipelines#inputs
I have reverted our pipelines to use version [email protected] and it's working fine now, but I would like to work on the latest version.
AC:
- ArchiveFiles@2 should work also when rootFolderOrFile variable is pointing to a single file.
