[JENKINS-1035] "Latest Artifacts" should read "Latest successful Artifacts" #24037
Description
If a job fails its artifacts are not saved by hudosn. I think this is the
intended behavior for building some kind of software.
We use use hudson to run tests and those jobs produce log files which we need if
a test has failed. Currently I have to dig into the workspace view in order to
find logs of a failed test. It would be better if hudson would collect the
artifacts of such a failed build and show these on the "Build artifacts" page.
In the job configuration page, under "Post-build Actions" > "Archive the
artifacts" > "Advanced..." could be a switch labelled "Archive artifacts even if
build failed".

Artifact archiver has no such logic in it. It will archive artifacts regardless
of whether the build failed or succeeded.
Maybe you are complaining about the "last successful artifacts" link in the
project top page — perhaps you are saying that you want this to be just "last
artifacts" in your case?

If that's the case, please reopen with appropriate title.

changed old summary "Archive the artifacts" allow for collecting artifacts of
failed builds"
Yes, you're right Kohsuke, the link on the top page has a misleading label. It
is okay to present just the latest good build results. It's okay go to a build's
page for accessing its logs.
So please change the label and I'll be fine with it.
