GitLab CI artifacts vanish between jobs unless you declare dependencies

Export
declare both sides. In the build job, set artifacts paths to the directories to keep, like bin/. In the deploy job, add dependencies with the build job name so its artifacts are restored before the script runs; the restored paths match the artifact paths from the build job exactly. Remember two things: artifacts download fresh into a clean working directory, so reference them by the same relative paths; and artifacts expire, so set an expire_in that covers the time between the build job and the last job that needs the files. If the deploy job still cant see files, check the job log line that lists downloaded artifacts, it tells you exactly what was restored and where.
