Allure Report Storage

[vibro]

Hi there,

I am using a shared volume for storing the Allure reports, but I've noticed that the Allure artifacts are still stored in Bamboo's artifact directory. In the instructions, an artifact "allure-results" must be present, then I assume the Allure plugin copies the necessary files to the shared store. This means that the allure reports remain in the plan's artifact directory, which can fill up the disk.

A number of xml and png files are stored in the Bamboo job's artifact directory:

$ du -h /bamboo/artifacts/ES-SMOKE/CARS/build-02846/allure-results/
284M	/bamboo/artifacts/ES-SMOKE/CARS/build-02846/allure-results/reports/allure-results
284M	/bamboo/artifacts/ES-SMOKE/CARS/build-02846/allure-results/reports
284M	/bamboo/artifacts/ES-SMOKE/CARS/build-02846/allure-results/

And then there are more files in the shared Allure directory:

$ du -h /mnt/bamboo_allure/allure-reports/ES-SMOKEM/2846/data
18M	/mnt/bamboo_allure/allure-reports/ES-SMOKEM/2846/data/test-cases
1.7G	/mnt/bamboo_allure/allure-reports/ES-SMOKEM/2846/data/attachments
1.7G	/mnt/bamboo_allure/allure-reports/ES-SMOKEM/2846/data

We like to keep a week's worth of Bamboo results for this plan, but with the screenshots the artifact directory can quickly become gigs worth of data. This means we must expire the results earlier than a week to ensure we don't run out of disk space. I tried deleting the artifact directory and it seemed that the Allure tab still worked.

Can the artifacts in the Bamboo job artifact directory be cleaned up after Allure parses the reports? Is the data duplicated between these two locations?
