Problem

In the artifacts tab of an execution, the pipeline.log appears. When you select to download, it is downloaded as log.txt.

1. There is a discrepancy in the appearing filename "pipeline.log" and to the actual downloaded file "log.txt".
2. Downloading the log as .txt is not helpful, as it is not recognized as a .log by various popular file editors and log readers.

 

Recommendation

The implementation here could be improved as follows:

1. Download the file with a name relevant to the pipeline execution, e.g. PIPELINENAME-BRANCHNAME-EXECUTIONNUMBER
2. Download the file as a .log instead of .txt.
