Gitlab CI Angular Artifacts 无法访问

Question

I'm trying to build and deploy my angular project with gitlab pipelines. There are two jobs. One for building the angular app and one for the deployment. My gitlab-ci.yml looks like this.

image: node:latest

cache:
  key: ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
  paths:
  - node_modules/

before_script:
  - npm install > /dev/null

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

build:
    stage: build
    artifacts: 
        paths:
            - dist/
        expire_in: 1 week
    script:
        - npm run build --prod

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  dependencies:
    - build
  environment: production
  image: mjsarfatti/gitlab-ci-pipeline-php-aws:latest
  before_script:
    - mkdir ~/.aws/
    - touch ~/.aws/credentials
    - printf "[eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = %s\naws_secret_access_key = %s\n" "$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" "$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" >> ~/.aws/credentials
  script:
    - git checkout master
    - eb deploy my_project
  only:
    - master

The aws cli used in the deploy job builds the dockerfile located in my project root. My problem is that every time when I run the deploy job I get this error:

Step 3/7 : COPY dist/src /usr/share/nginx/html
44 COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder648218383/dist/src: no such file or directory.

It seems like that the artifact from the previous build job is missing. What is wrong with my gitlab-ci.yaml file?

Answer 1

When artifacts are extracted into other pipeline steps, it's extracted in a different location that your code that's pulled down via git. For me, I've seen the artifact(s) put in the parent directory from where my code is. So for example if I have this directory structure:

--- gitlab_ci_root
   --- my_code

The extracted artifacts will be put under gitlab_ci_root , not my_code .

You can test this by putting a couple of ls 's into your deploy step.

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  dependencies:
    - build
  environment: production
  image: mjsarfatti/gitlab-ci-pipeline-php-aws:latest
  before_script:
    - ls # directory list of current directory, likely your code
    - ls ../ # directory list of the parent directory.
    - mkdir ~/.aws/
    - touch ~/.aws/credentials
    - printf "[eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = %s\naws_secret_access_key = %s\n" "$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" "$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" >> ~/.aws/credentials
  script:
    - git checkout master
    - eb deploy my_project
  only:
    - master

Once you find where the dist/ directory is being extracted, then in your script you can mv the dist to wherever you need it to be.
