afterAllArtifactBuild script fires before latest.yml is created

• Version: 21.0.1

• Target: mac: dmg, zip; win: nsis

In the afterAllArtifactBuild script, latest.yml (and latest-mac.yml) are not created yet or are not saved to the output directory yet.

mac CI logs output from afterAllArtifactBuild:

windows CI logs output from afterAllArtifactBuild:

The arrays starting on line 167 and 92 respectfully are all the files in the outDir folder.

Note: BUILD TYPE trial is something specific to my app

Still relevant in 23.0.2. I’m trying to automate a modification to the yml file before it gets uploaded, and this is impossible directly with afterAllArtifactBuild, as the yml file doesn’t exist when afterAllArtifactBuild is called. The above solution by asd seems like a possible hack/workaround, but doesn’t seem like it should be the expected approach.

If afterAllArtifactBuild is meant to be used solely for the application artifacts and not the yml file, then a new hook along the lines of “beforeUpload” should be available.

I solved this problem by using chokidar

// afterAllArtifactBuild.js
const chokidar = require('chokidar')
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
exports.default = async buildResult => {
  const filePath = path.join(buildResult.outDir, 'latest.yml')
  fs.access(filePath, fs.contants.R_OK, err => {
    const watcher = chokidar.watch(filePath)
    watcher.on(err ? 'add' : 'change', (event, path) => {
        // await do something
        watcher.unwatch(filePath)
        process.exit(0)
      })
  })
}
