我尝试压缩工件并下载一个文件。但我在这方面没有成功。

社区能给我一些关于如何加快工件下载的提示吗？我在构建期间存档并在发布期间解压缩的想法是一个好方法吗？

我已经尝试过，但无法仅下载创建的 zip 文件。

Answer 1

We have started using robocopy to download build artifacts in recent version of vsts-agent. Download performance using robocopy should be better than the performance with v1 agent as well. In case upgrading to TFS 2018 is not a viable solution, pl. get latest agent from here and configure against TFS server:

https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent/releases

如果您没有使用TFS2018，建议您使用最新的构建代理，它将使用robocopy应该有更好的性能。

另一个选项是为每个公共(public)工件压缩或创建 nuget 包，然后在放置后解压缩。您可以使用 Archive Files任务或市场中的某些第三方扩展。看看下面两个相关问题:

• TFS build v2 agent downloads artifacts slowly, v1 unaffected
• VSTS agent very slow to download artifacts from local network share

此外，发布管理会下载您之前默认选择的构建定义发布的所有工件。现在，您可以为发布定义添加配置选项，以强制代理仅下载任务执行所需的工件。这也将加快您的发布流程。 注意:这仅适用于 TFS 2018 Update 2 中的本地版本。
