Argument Description
rootFolderOrFile
Root folder or file to archive		 (Required) Enter the root folder or file path to add to the archive. If a folder, everything under the folder will be added to the resulting archive
Default value: $(Build.BinariesDirectory)
includeRootFolder
Prepend root folder name to archive paths		 (Required) If selected, the root folder name will be prefixed to file paths within the archive. Otherwise, all file paths will start one level lower.
For example, suppose the selected root folder is: /home/user/output/classes/, and contains: com/acme/Main.class.
  • If selected, the resulting archive would contain: classes/com/acme/Main.class
  • Otherwise, the resulting archive would contain: com/acme/Main.class..
archiveType
Archive type		 (Required) Specify the compression scheme used. To create foo.jar, for example, choose zip for the compression, and specify foo.jar as the archive file to create. For all tar files (including compressed ones), choose tar.
  • zip - default, zip format, choose this for all zip compatible types, (.zip, .jar, .war, .ear)
  • 7z - 7-Zip format, (.7z)
  • tar - tar format, choose this for compressed tars, (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz)
  • wim - wim format, (.wim)
sevenZipCompression
7z compression		 Optionally choose a compression level, or choose None to create an uncompressed 7z file
Default value: Normal
Options:
  • Ultra
  • Maximum
  • Normal
  • Fast
  • Fastest
