High Description
When the builder has completed and it is time for the artifact copier to run through each entry; if a directory is missing for an entry, artifacts that are found are not sent to the Bamboo server.
For example, observe the following build configuration for artifacts:
Running a build based of this configuration where the directory /tmp/jira does not exist causes the following to appear in the build logs:
20-Jan-2009 17:58:57 Running post build plugin 'Artifact Copier' 20-Jan-2009 17:58:57 Copying artifact JIRA Logs 20-Jan-2009 17:58:57 Failed to execute plugin 'Artifact Copier' with error: /opt/lmwork/bamboo-agent/xml-data/build-dir/LABJIRA-CE52IX86DK15WL92MY50/../../../../../../tmp/jira not found. 20-Jan-2009 17:58:57 Finalising the build...
Then, when viewing the build artifacts, there are none:
This is odd, as there are files that would have been picked up by the artifact copier:

What I imagine happens, is that the artifact copier throws an exception, bailing out of the plugin; then no data is transferred back to the Bamboo server.
