Summary
The text discusses problems with the SAVE ARTIFACT command, which now supports directories via wildcard usage but encounters errors in a TRY/CATCH/FINALLY structure due to its inability to handle wildcard paths. The sender requests Christian to share his Earthfile code and proposes manually implementing logic in bash to manage non-zero exits to avoid failures in the earthly build.

hm, yeah, that could work

hmm, I guess the SAVE ARTIFACT is implemented differently in the TRY/FINALLY context :confused: Wonder if you could implement the logic manually, e.g. handling the non-zero exit in bash so that the earthly build doesn’t fail

Can you share some of your Earthfile code?

Hi Christian, I believe SAVE ARTIFACT with directories should work. And wildcard support was added recently.
c.ruppert
<@U02NXMDQ45Q> is there any workaround by chance? the names are really random so I'd need that entire directory or wildcard :confused:
c.ruppert
ah, ok, wildcard isn't supported yet and directory doesn't seem to work either :thinking_face: > +vtest-haproxy failed | earthly debugger | failed to save /tmp/: read /tmp/: is a directory
c.ruppert
ah, thanks!

hey, is it possible to save artifacts for a failed command?
