Context: * Detailed build/test logs are collected as artifacts and stored for each build. * Test runs take 30-60 minutes. Some tests fail, others succeed. * When I see that the tests are failing for a reproducible reason, and it will happen in each & every test, I cancel the test-run (i.e., the build). * I want to see the logs of the test that already executed in this build. ``` tests: stage: test script: ... artifacts: paths: - ./logs/ when: always expire_in: '1 week' ``` Problem: * GitLab CI does not collect the artifacts if the build was cancelled. Even if `when: always` is set. Expected behaviour: * Option A: If `when: always` is set, then collect the artifacts both in case of the test failure, and in case of the test cancellation (assuming that cancelling is a form of failing). * Option B: Add another config like `when: really-always`, which does the described artifacts gathering in case of cancellation. Env: * GitLab CE 8.10.7 * GitLab CI Runner 1.5.0 * (runner & builds are in docker containers) --- https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/50119 ### Links / resources This may have been working correctly in 13.6 per this [customer report](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15790#note_716458705).
