             Summary: Copy Artifacts plugin's "Optional" not working
                 Key: JENKINS-13488
                 URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13488
             Project: Jenkins
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: copyartifact
    Affects Versions: current
         Environment: Jenkins 1.457
            Reporter: Brian Murrell
            Assignee: Alan Harder


I have a matrix-configuration job in which I am trying to copy artifacts from 
an upstream matrix-configuration job where some of the axes combinations of the 
upstream job are not run and therefore do not produce artifacts.  In the job I 
am running the copy artifacts action I use 
{{upstream_job/arch=$arch,distro=$distro}} as the Project name so that each 
combination copies it's respective upstream artifacts.

However knowing that there upstream combinations that are not run and therefore 
don't have artifacts I have selected "Optional" for this copy artifacts action 
but it's still failing with:

{code}
Unable to find project for artifact copy: upstream/arch=x86_64,distro=el5
This may be due to incorrect project name or permission settings; see help for 
project name in job configuration.
Build step 'Copy artifacts from another project' marked build as failure
{code}

I can't simply exclude the same axes combinations in the job I am doing the 
artifact copying in as I do upstream since there are other actions that need to 
be done even when then are no artifacts from the upstream job.

Am I misunderstanding the use of *Optional* in the Copy Artifacts plugin?
