Usage

See action.yml

Download a Single Artifact

Basic (download to the current working directory):

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
  with:
    name: my-artifact
    
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
  run: ls -R

Download to a specific directory:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
  with:
    name: my-artifact
    path: path/to/artifact
    
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
  run: ls -R
  working-directory: path/to/artifact

Compatibility between `v1` and `v2`

When using download-artifact@v1, a directory denoted by the name of the artifact would be created. All of the contents would ne downloaded to this directory.

   path/to/artifact/
      my-artifact/
          ... contents of my-artifact

With v2, there is no longer an extra directory that is created. All the contents are downloaded to the current working directory or to path if specified.

   path/to/artifact/
      ... contents of my-artifact

Download All Artifacts

If the name input parameter is not provided, all artifacts will be downloaded. To differentiate between downloaded artifacts, a directory denoted by the artifacts name will be created for each individual artifact.

Example, if there are two artifacts Artifact-A and Artifact-B, and the directory is etc/usr/artifacts/, the directory structure will look like this:

  etc/usr/artifacts/
      Artifact-A/
          ... contents of Artifact-A
      Artifact-B/
          ... contents of Artifact-B

Download all artifacts to a specific directory

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
  with:
    path: path/to/artifacts
    
- name: Display structure of downloaded files
  run: ls -R
  working-directory: path/to/artifacts

Download all artifacts to the current working directory

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v2

- name: Display structure of downloaded files
  run: ls -R
