This may be a configuration issue? But here goes.....
The artifact entry on the 'Artifacts' tab - it shows correct size and location:
1. Clicking 'download' against an artifact results in a 0KB empty file - nothing it exception log
2. Clicking 'view as -\> raw' goes to empty browser window
3. Click 'view as -\> nunit/variable' results in an exception as show below
It's not just custom artifacts either, I've had no success downloading the default BUILD-MASTER\_Environment.xml or VariableNamespaces.xml either.

It looks like something is deleting your artifact files… possibly your workspace rules? We certainly should be handling missing files better, Vinnie is looking into that now, but what we need to find out is what is removing the files from the workspace on the server.

The file is still in the server workspace:

I think we’ve found the issue. We hard coded the share path in so if you installed Continua without using the share called “ContinuaShare” it wouldn’t work. There were a couple of other things as well that we came across but I’m going to guess you both specified a different share name.
Fix is in the next build which will be released in an hour or so.

Thanks Vinnie - yes my share path is 'ci\_ws' at the moment.

"ASSumptions"
Yeap, my share name was "JDContinuaCIServer".

Confirmed as fixed in 896 - any artifacts created in older builds don't work, but new artifacts work fine. Thanks guys.
The nunit viewer is pretty cool!
