Important

This task is supported on Azure DevOps Services only. If you use it on Azure DevOps Server, you'll receive an error message similar to Pipeline Artifact Task is not supported in on-premises. Please use Build Artifact Task instead. Use Download Build Artifacts if you're using Azure DevOps Server or TFS 2018.

By default, artifacts are downloaded to $(Pipeline.Workspace). If you don't specify an artifact name, a subdirectory will be created for each downloaded artifact. You can use file matching patterns to limit the files you want to download.

How can I find the ID of the Pipeline I want to download an artifact from?

You can find the ID of the pipeline in the 'Pipeline variables'. The pipeline ID is the system.definitionId variable. You can also find it in the URL path.
