1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to archive the build artifacts in Jenkins.

Jenkins

archiveArtifacts '[1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Abuild/output/*.jar

Bbuild/output/*.exe

Csrc/*.java

Ddocs/*.md

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using source code files instead of build output files.

Using wrong file extensions like .exe for Java projects.

The archiveArtifacts step archives files matching the given pattern. Here, build/output/*.jar archives all jar files from the build output.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to archive all files inside the 'dist' folder.

Jenkins

archiveArtifacts '[1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Abin/*

Bdist/**/*.js

Csrc/*

Ddist/*

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using patterns that only match some files, like '*.js' when other files exist.

Using source folders instead of distribution folders.

The pattern dist/* archives all files directly inside the 'dist' folder.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to archive all files recursively inside 'output' folder.

Jenkins

archiveArtifacts '[1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aoutput/*.txt

Boutput/*

Coutput/**

Doutput

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using single asterisk which does not include subfolders.

Using folder name without wildcard which does not match files.

The pattern output/** archives all files and folders recursively inside the 'output' folder.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to archive all '.log' files and exclude 'debug.log'.

Jenkins

archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[1]', excludes: '[2]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A**/*.log

Bdebug.log

C**/*.txt

Dbuild.log

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Excluding a folder instead of a file.

Using wrong file extensions in patterns.

The artifacts pattern **/*.log archives all log files recursively. The excludes pattern debug.log skips the debug log file.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to archive all '.jar' files, exclude 'test.jar', and allow empty archives.

Jenkins

archiveArtifacts artifacts: '[1]', excludes: '[2]', allowEmptyArchive: [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A**/*.jar

Btest.jar

Ctrue

Dfalse

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting allowEmptyArchive to false causing build failure.

Wrong exclude pattern causing important files to be skipped.

The artifacts pattern **/*.jar archives all jar files recursively. The excludes pattern test.jar skips the test jar file. Setting allowEmptyArchive to true prevents build failure if no files match.
