Type: Bug

  • account name: lambda3
  • team project name: sdk
  • build definition name: template

• Agent - Hosted:

  • agent queue name: Default
  • OS of the machine running the agent and the agent version: Windows, agent version 2.155.1

Issue Description

When you try to download the artifacts on a multi stage build definition using the DownloadPipelineArtifactV2 task it will only download the artifacts from the first stage. In my scenario I have 3 stages, and I product the artifacts on the second stage, while the first stage only has a code coverage artifact. What I’ve seen is that the code coverage artifacts (1st stage) download, while the ones from the 2nd stage don’t.

Note: I am using a self hosted agent, and I noted that the artifacts were not being removed between each build, which created problems, as leftover artifacts from previous builds were still around. So, I had the idea of downloading the artifacts to the Agent.TempDirectory, so it would be removed for sure.

This was all on a deployment stage.

If you let the download happen naturally, it will download all the artifacts, the problem only happens when you use the DownloadPipelineArtifactV2 task directly.

I also noticed that the Build Summary shows no artifacts for the second stage, it only shows one artifact for the 1st stage. But the artifacts tab does show all 3 artifacts.
