GitLab CI无法在Job间传递目录及文件问题求助

GitLab CI的artifacts仅支持上传项目工作目录内的文件，你配置的/home/user是绝对路径，不属于项目目录范围，所以触发警告并导致文件上传失败，job_b自然无法获取到所需文件。

修改方案 #

核心思路是把需要传递的文件先放到项目内的临时目录，通过artifacts传递后，再在job_b中移回真实HOME路径：

1. 在job_a中，创建项目内的临时目录模拟HOME结构，同时复制文件到真实HOME和临时目录（保证job_a正常执行Ansible）
2. 配置artifacts指向项目内的临时目录
3. 在job_b中，将下载的临时目录内容移回真实HOME路径，再执行Ansible剧本

修改后的完整CI配置 #

job_a:
  stage: build
  script:
    # 创建项目内的临时目录，复刻HOME的目录结构
    - mkdir -p ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/.ssh ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/files ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/inventory ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/a_playbooks ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/roles
    # 同步复制文件到真实HOME和临时目录
    - cp $ssh_key ${HOME}/.ssh/ && cp $ssh_key ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/.ssh/
    - cp config ${HOME}/.ssh/config && cp config ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/.ssh/config
    - cp -r dir/files/ ${HOME}/files/ && cp -r dir/files/ ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/files/
    - cp -r dir/inventory/ ${HOME}/inventory && cp -r dir/inventory/ ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/inventory
    - cp -r playbooks ${HOME}/a_playbooks && cp -r playbooks ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/a_playbooks
    - cp dir/ansible.cfg ${HOME}/ansible.cfg && cp dir/ansible.cfg ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/ansible.cfg
    - cp dir/site.yml ${HOME}/site.yml && cp dir/site.yml ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/site.yml
    - cp -r dir/roles ${HOME}/roles && cp -r dir/roles ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/roles
    # 执行job_a的Ansible剧本
    - ansible-playbook -i ${HOME}/inventory/hosts.yml ${HOME}/site.yml
  when: manual
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - ./ci_artifacts/
    expire_in: 1 week

job_b:
  stage: build
  dependencies:
    - job_a
  script:
    # 将artifacts中的文件移回真实HOME路径
    - cp -r ./ci_artifacts/${HOME}/* ${HOME}/
    # 可选：验证文件是否正常部署
    - ls -lrth ${HOME}/.ssh/
    - ls -lrth ${HOME}/files/
    # 执行job_b的Ansible剧本
    - ansible-playbook -i ${HOME}/inventory/my-cluster/hosts.yml ${HOME}/a_playbooks/site.yml
  when: manual

关键说明 #

• 临时目录./ci_artifacts/${HOME}完全复刻真实HOME的结构，确保job_b移动后文件路径与job_a完全一致
• 复制文件时同步操作真实HOME和临时目录，既保证job_a能正常执行Ansible，又能收集文件到artifacts
• job_b无需重复处理原始文件，直接通过artifacts传递的内容恢复HOME环境
