[JIRA] (JENKINS-15594) CopyArtifact plugin cannot always copy artifacts

Haris Shahid edited a comment on JENKINS-15594 CopyArtifact plugin cannot always copy artifacts I would like to add that I have also been experiencing this issue and after doing some extensive tinkering I think it has to do something with permissions. At first I tried giving the job from which the artifacts were to be copied all types of access (anonymous, full access, authenticated group access) anything I read and could come up with on my own I tried. But, the copy artifact plugin would still fail intermittently. The solution I figured out is this; if the copy artifact plugin starts to fail just go to the view that lists the job from which artifacts are to be copied as long as the logged in user sees the job listing, once, the copy artifact plugin will not fail (to copy artifacts) ever again. You do not even have to click on the job just be able to see it in a list in one of your views. I know this sounds strange but I assure you this fixes the problem. Currently I have created a view where I list all of the jobs from which artifacts are to be copied and I have made it my default view. So, now as soon as a user logs-in or hits the Jenkins homepage the first thing they will see is the list of jobs. I have not had a failure since and I implemented this fix about 1.5 - 2 months ago. Can someone please fix this? Thanks.
