[BUG/DOC] Agent Download Bug or Confusing Docs

[chrisjenx]

We were running this agent command:

buildkite-agent artifact download --build "0188348b-27ee-42dd-81c4-e43bb25f6df0" shared/shopper-delivering/impl/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/impl-debug-androidTest.apk tmp/

I would expect this to put the file including subfolders under tmp/shared.shopper...etc but it doesn't. I'm not actually sure where it goes, even after ls -l tmp/ it's empty.

We had to resort too:

- buildkite-agent artifact download --build "0188348b-27ee-42dd-81c4-e43bb25f6df0" shared/shopper-delivering/impl/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/impl-debug-androidTest.apk .
- mv shared/shopper-delivering/impl/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/impl-debug-androidTest.apk tmp/impl-debug-androidTest.apk

Not sure if this is a bug or bad docs for expected behavior ?

Hi @chrisjenx, this does look a bit unusual. You might get more detail by passing --debug flag to your command

buildkite-agent artifact download --debug --build "0188348b-27ee-42dd-81c4-e43bb25f6df0" shared/shopper-delivering/impl/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/impl-debug-androidTest.apk tmp/

We agree this is could be something to fix, but as there is a workaround, it's not our highest priority at the moment.

You're also welcome to contact [email protected].

I checked the debug and it outputs what it suggests that it should be doing. So I'm guessing it's failing silently after the debug statement
